Tpt life Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Taping strategies... Pre-assemble and mark alignment. Pull a joint apart, tape the assembly down at a comfortable height. Leave as few as possible of the joints you tape in place. The stuff sticks great! You don't need to wrap the whole joint in one stream. Cut strips of tape that wrap two thirds. Tape one end to a long shim/strip. Have someone else pull the tape behind the pipe like sewing. You can keep tension on the tape and avoid most catastrophe. For anything this won't work on, buy mastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 This will do for today. Tomorrow should be productive, though I have to clean my gutters. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 So glad I live in a rural area where no one knows what a HOA is. Nice shiny ductwork, Tom. Bet that system will really suck! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 It's break time! Affected gutters are cleaned out. I just cut a bunch of 26 gauge sheet metal, I'm going to look like popeye by the time I'm done. The straight pipe is much easier to cut using the Carvex, can't do that on the fittings though. I need to figure out how I'm going to hang the piping while I'm securing it with the strapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpt life Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Two by four, scab on either side a length with a 45° cut on. Think giant "Y"...wife or child can prop if the two by can rest on the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom Cancelleri Posted May 30, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Going to call it a night. Tomorrow I'll finish up the jointer to trunk run. Then it's on to the run across the shop to the router table and smaller band saw. Got trunk? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Bet you're getting excited now! I'm taking this as a big challenge to see what kind of numbers I get at my machines. I designed the runs based on stuff I've read, and taking into consideration the limitations of my shop setup. I decided to ditch the lathe drop due to the lumber rack, that's why the floor sweep is by the jointer, when turning I can just sweep it up to there. Tomorrow my impatience will win, and I'll plug the unfinished ends and test airflow at the stops that are done. Jointer and planer are the closest to being finished.

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk I also opted to not run a drop to my lathe but, that's more because it's in a different room. I did add a drop close to it where I will have a general clean up hose.. My next shop will have 2 drops at the lathe. One to grab what it can during turning and one for general clean up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Bob Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 What a clean install! Are dropping down to 4" or 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 What a clean install! Are dropping down to 4" or 6? Thanks, I'm taking my time doing this, I prefer to not have to come back and fix anything. I'm sure when I do my leak test, I'll find a leak or two to fix, probably in an elbow somewhere. Once I have all the strapping in place, I will paint the ceiling. Knowing exactly where the joists are for the room above to screws into is helpful. Everything except the floor sweep will be dropped to 4". Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yes yes and more yes. This was a huge pain to get installed solo. Ladders everywhere! The ceiling is happening this week. Oh yea, and this I put a piece of flex hose to the jointer, and it sucked stuff out of there that my other machine left behind. Freaking awesome! It's break time, I'm sweating my (Insert Body Part Here) off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Isn't painting the ceiling going to be tougher with those pipes hanging across ? Or are you planning to paint the pipes as well ? I know I have gotten carried away and gotten things out of order. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you planning to paint the pipes as well ? I know I have gotten carried away and gotten things out of order. Just curious. It will be a bit more work to paint, but it won't be too bad. Getting the pipes hung from joists were more important to me. I can see where the joists are right now because of where the sheet rock is screwed in. I will use a roller on a stick, unscrew the strapping a bit and get around the screw with a brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 That makes sense. Shop ceilings always have so many things hanging or breaking up the surface it's not like you have a smooth continuous surface to paint anyways . As long as it's white to reflect light who cares !

Exactly! It's not like it's inside my house. I just want light reflection and uniform color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
