In this session from the 7th Annual HVACR Training Symposium in Florida, Eric "Elk" Kaiser delivers a comprehensive workshop on airflow testing and measurement. Eric opens by challenging technicians to think beyond simply pointing an instrument at a duct and reading a number. Before selecting any tool, he argues, professionals must understand exactly what they are measuring — whether that is velocity, pressure, volume (CFM), or the mass weight of air — and why each of those values matters for designing ductwork, sizing equipment, and delivering comfort to customers. The session sets the stage for a deeper technical conversation about the physics of air and how those physics affect measurement accuracy in the real world. A significant portion of the presentation focuses on air density and how it affects the accuracy of common industry formulas. Eric walks through the origin of the widely-used 1.08 and 4.5 airflow constants, explaining that they are derived from a theoretical "standard air" condition of sea level pressure (14.7 PSIA) and 0% relative humidity — conditions that virtually no technician encounters in the field. He demonstrates how changes in altitude, temperature, and humidity all shift air density, causing those constants to become variables. For technicians working at elevations above 2,500 feet, the density difference can exceed 10%, enough to significantly skew BTU calculations and equipment performance assessments if left uncorrected. Eric also walks through a real-world scenario involving measurements taken across an operating evaporator coil, where a 3.4% density shift between return and supply could easily be misread as duct leakage. The workshop then moves into a thorough survey of airflow measurement instruments and the specific conditions each one is best suited for. Eric covers vane anemometers (large and mini), hot wire anemometers, pitot tubes, flow hoods (passive and active/fan-powered), flow boxes, the temperature rise method, and the digital TrueFlow grid. For each tool, he discusses accuracy considerations, density correction requirements, velocity limitations, placement requirements, and common mistakes. He is candid about the limitations of manufacturer performance charts, sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how one manufacturer evaluated static pressure using a six-foot plenum and four averaging probes — conditions that bear no resemblance to a cramped residential closet with a coil slammed on top of the furnace. The takeaway is that no chart, regardless of source, should be trusted without understanding the conditions under which it was created. Throughout the session, Eric emphasizes a core professional philosophy: understand your instruments, understand their limitations, and understand what level of accuracy is truly needed for the job at hand. He introduces the concept of stacked inaccuracies — where instrument error combines with density correction error to produce readings that can mislead technicians into diagnosing problems that do not exist, or missing ones that do. He concludes with a strong endorsement of the digital TrueFlow grid for residential applications, highlighting its app-based forecasting feature that allows technicians to predict whether a new piece of equipment will work on an existing duct system before the installation begins. The session closes with audience Q&A covering topics such as using density-correcting instruments to compare supply and return readings, and measuring airflow in systems with multiple filter grilles. Topics Covered What airflow measurement actually captures: velocity, pressure, volume (CFM), and mass weight of air — and why the distinction matters The origin and limitations of the 1.08 and 4.5 airflow constants, and when technicians must correct for non-standard air conditions How air density changes with altitude, temperature, and humidity — including a 22% density drop from sea level to 5,000 feet elevation Real-world example: how a 3.4% density shift across an operating evaporator coil can be mistaken for duct leakage Instrument selection overview: large vane anemometers, mini vane anemometers, hot wire anemometers, pitot tubes, and in-duct flow devices Passive vs. active (fan-powered) flow hoods — accuracy differences and the importance of using residential hoods for residential applications Proper probe placement for in-duct measurements: ASHRAE guidelines, straight-run requirements, and how turbulence affects readings Duct traverses: log Chebyshev point averaging vs. timed traverse methods, and best practices for each Manufacturer performance charts and external static pressure testing: how lab conditions differ from field conditions and why charts can mislead Motor types (PSC, constant torque ECM, constant airflow ECM) and how motor behavior affects static pressure measurement and airflow setup Manometer selection: resolution, accuracy, auto-zeroing features, and why a precise-looking display does not equal an accurate reading Temperature rise method for estimating airflow: appropriate uses with electric heat, and limitations with gas furnaces Digital TrueFlow grid: application for residential retrofit work, CFM forecasting, and evaluating existing duct systems before equipment replacement Audience Q&A: density correction on supply vs. return readings, multi-grille TrueFlow workflows, and commercial system setup strategies   You can watch the flow hood comparison video by TruTech Tools HERE.

In this episode, HVAC veteran Adam Mufich of National Comfort Institute (NCI) pulls back the curtain on one of the industry's most overlooked problems: the majority of residential HVAC systems in the United States are not delivering the correct amount of airflow. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, Adam opens up about his own journey from confident installer to humbled diagnostician, sharing the moment he started measuring his systems and realized how much he had been getting wrong. His candor and expertise make this a must-listen for any HVAC professional serious about doing better work. Adam walks listeners through a sobering picture painted by a Department of Energy study covering 44 research projects across the country. The data reveals that between 50 and 93 percent of systems tested moved less than the minimum 350 CFM per ton of capacity, and between 67 and 100 percent of systems leaked more than 100 CFM to the outside. Equipment oversizing is rampant, with some studies showing that up to 93 percent of systems exceed what Manual J calculations would call for. The ripple effects are enormous: compressor failures, blown blower motors, cracked heat exchangers, wasted energy, and homeowners who are simply not comfortable in their own homes. Adam argues that the single most powerful fix is also the most underused one — properly sizing the equipment in the first place. The bulk of the episode dives into two distinct approaches NCI teaches for addressing these problems. The first is the Air Upgrade, a targeted set of repairs focused near the equipment to reduce static pressure and increase fan airflow. This includes reworking the filter system (a commonly undersized 16x25x1 filter can triple the allowed pressure budget on its own), improving duct fittings with lower equivalent lengths, cleaning evaporator coils and blower wheels, adjusting fan speed, and sealing duct joints. The second approach is full Duct Optimization, a more comprehensive renovation that addresses the entire duct system, incorporates Manual D calculations, installs balancing dampers, improves insulation, and uses tools like flow hoods and MeasureQuick to verify that every room in the house is receiving the correct airflow and BTUs. Adam also spends time on the practical and human side of this work — how to talk to homeowners, how to prioritize what matters to them, and how to overcome the very real obstacles that keep technicians from doing thorough airflow work. He addresses everything from fear of opening walls (his solution: build relationships with drywall contractors and offer turnkey repairs) to the simple but powerful mindset shift of treating airflow as something to be measured, not felt with your hand. His closing message is clear: the tools and methods exist, the training is available, and virtually every house in the country has a problem worth solving. The only thing standing in the way is the willingness to do it right. Topics Covered The current state of the HVAC industry based on a DOE meta-analysis of 44 studies Why equipment oversizing is the number one contributor to airflow problems and how to address it How a 50 percent oversized AC system can increase energy consumption by up to 91 percent (per the ASME Journal of Sustainable Buildings) Tools for proper load calculations, including Ample Energy and Conduit apps Why most systems are not moving enough airflow and what the consequences are (heat exchanger failures, compressor failures, comfort complaints) Duct leakage to the outside and its effects on comfort, indoor air quality, and building pressurization The four pillars of NCI's approach: safe, healthy, comfortable, and efficient systems The Air Upgrade approach: targeted repairs near the equipment to reduce static pressure and increase fan airflow The Duct Optimization approach: full duct system renovation with balanced airflow to every room Static pressure profiling: taking four measurements (before/after filter and before/after coil) to pinpoint restrictions Static pressure budgets and how to use them to identify which part of a system is the biggest problem Fan Law 2 as a planning tool to predict system performance before making changes The TrueFlow Grid and its forecasting feature for planning equipment changes Filter sizing and its massive impact on total external static pressure Duct fitting equivalent lengths and how to reduce resistance near the equipment Sealing duct joints and why it adds static pressure that must be planned for The importance of rechecking and adjusting refrigerant charge after any airflow improvement Air balancing with a flow hood to verify delivered CFM at every register Measuring delivered BTUs using tools like MeasureQuick, JobLink, and NCI's ComfortMax workflow Overcoming obstacles: technician buy-in, access to ducts in walls, attic space limitations, and homeowner hesitation Building relationships with drywall contractors to offer turnkey duct repair solutions Why airflow is invisible and why measuring it is non-negotiable   To learn more about NCI and its training offerings, visit https://www.nationalcomfortinstitute.com/.

Recorded live on the floor at the AHR Expo 2026, this episode of the podcast brings together host Bryan and his guest Jesse, National Training Manager at NAVAC, for a candid, high-energy conversation about professional best practices in the HVAC/R trade. The two have a long-standing friendship and professional rapport that makes the discussion feel both educational and genuinely entertaining. Jesse brings a unique background to the table — from underground coal mining in West Virginia to becoming a lineman, then pivoting to HVAC through vocational school and a contractor-sponsored apprenticeship program. His path to becoming a national trainer is a testament to the value of investing in yourself and being open to learning at every stage of a career. The core of this episode centers on refrigerant recovery and charging best practices — a topic that might sound routine but quickly reveals how many technicians, even experienced ones, are cutting corners that cost their clients and their companies money. Bryan and Jesse dig into the problems caused by unnecessarily opening sealed systems, the refrigerant lost every time a technician gauges up a system without need, and why the HVAC industry needs to shift its mindset to treat equipment more like a home refrigerator: a sealed system that should run for years without needing to be cracked open. Jesse makes a compelling case that many so-called "mysterious leaks" are actually caused by repeated unnecessary gauge hookups removing small amounts of refrigerant each time. A significant portion of the conversation focuses on the transition away from manifold gauges toward digital probes and modern recovery setups. Jesse isn't dismissive of manifolds — he acknowledges their place in the classroom and as a backup tool — but he makes a strong case that eliminating restrictions throughout the recovery and charging process is one of the single most impactful things a technician can do to improve efficiency, protect equipment, and deliver better results for customers. Topics like pulling Schrader cores, using 3/8" hoses, Rapid-Y fittings, and the importance of using a filter dryer inline with the recovery machine are all covered with practical, field-tested advice. Bryan and Jesse also tackle some timely and emerging issues facing the industry, including the equalization behavior of R-454B blends and the growing challenge of refrigerant recovery in extreme cold climates as cold-climate heat pumps become more widespread in northern markets. These aren't hypothetical — they're problems technicians are encountering right now, and Bryan's theory about refrigerant fractionation showing up on thermal imaging cameras offers a genuinely fascinating technical angle. The episode closes with Jesse's overarching message: eliminate restrictions wherever you can, take pride in your craft, and never stop learning. Topics Covered Jesse's background: coal mining, lineman work, HVAC vo-tech, contractor apprenticeship, and path to becoming a national trainer The sealed system philosophy: why unnecessarily opening refrigerant circuits causes more problems than it solves Manifold gauges — their appropriate role in training and as a backup vs. the case for moving to digital probes How repeated gauge hookups can introduce refrigerant loss and fake "mystery leaks" — the 3.5 oz. per hose problem Restrictions as the enemy of efficient recovery: pulling Schrader cores, using core removal tools, and proper hose sizing The importance of recovering liquid first and how restrictions cause flash gas that slows recovery and adds heat Hose size trade-offs: why 3/8" hoses are the recommended sweet spot between flow rate and refrigerant retention Using a filter dryer inline with the recovery machine as cheap insurance against acid contamination and machine damage Why recovered refrigerant should generally NOT be reused — dirty recovery tanks, fractionation, and the limits of a single filter pass Scales as a non-negotiable tool: weighing refrigerant in AND out, and why techs who estimate by feel are guessing Diagnosing overcharge and undercharge situations using scale data before making repairs Airflow first, charge second: the importance of confirming CFM before adding refrigerant to a struggling system The R-454B equalization issue: refrigerant fractionation in new blends and Bryan's thermal imaging theory Cold-climate heat pump recovery challenges at sub-zero temperatures and strategies for adding heat to the system Heat pump maintenance best practices: testing defrost cycles and what happens when they haven't been checked in years Word of mouth as the most powerful (and dangerous) form of advertising in the service industry Recovery cylinder safety: the dangers of overfilling tanks and the 80% rule   Learn more about NAVAC's products and resources at https://navacglobal.com/.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

In this live episode recorded at the AHR Expo 2026 Podcast Pavilion in Las Vegas, host Bryan sits down with longtime friend and industry expert Nikki Krueger of Santa Fe and AprilAire. Nikki brings over 15 years of experience in indoor air quality and whole-home dehumidification to the conversation, having started her career with AprilAire before moving to Santa Fe (formerly Ultra Aire) — and now coming full circle as the two brands have integrated under the AprilAire umbrella as of January 1st of this year. The episode dives deep into a topic close to both hosts' hearts: how to properly manage indoor humidity, and what role a whole-home ventilating dehumidifier plays in a comprehensive HVAC system strategy. Bryan and Nikki lay out a holistic framework for tackling moisture problems, emphasizing that a dehumidifier should be the last tool added — not the first. Before reaching for dedicated dehumidification equipment, contractors need to assess the building envelope for air leaks, evaluate whether the air conditioning system is properly sized (oversizing is a major contributor to poor latent removal), confirm that the AC is set up with the right airflow and sensible heat ratio, and take into account the ventilation strategy and occupant behavior. The pair discuss real-world scenarios ranging from elderly residents in Florida who keep their thermostats at 80°F, to a project in Barbados where overcooling caused interstitial condensation in walls and ceilings. The message is clear: humidity control is a systems problem, not a single-product fix. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to proper installation practices for whole-home dehumidifiers. Nikki explains why Santa Fe recommends pulling from a dedicated return and discharging into the supply side of the AC duct — rather than tying into the return side — because the heat generated by dehumidification (roughly 1,054 BTUs per pint of water removed) can warm the AC evaporator coil and reduce its latent removal capacity. Bryan adds nuance around dew point management when routing outdoor air ducts, and both hosts agree that fan operation strategy (continuous low-speed vs. intermittent) matters more in tight, low-load homes where mixing is harder to achieve naturally. They also clarify a common misconception: a ventilating dehumidifier is not a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) and does not automatically condition incoming ventilation air before it enters the home. The conversation wraps up with an exciting look at Santa Fe's newly launched Ultra V Series, which features an upgraded 8-inch ventilation duct (up from 6 inches), a more powerful fan for handling higher static pressure in retrofit applications, a new digital control panel, and a wired remote humidity sensor that can be placed in the living space for more accurate readings. Nikki and Bryan also field audience questions on topics like short-cycling risks from oversized dehumidifiers and why Santa Fe chose a wired sensor over wireless (accuracy, reliability, and fewer callback headaches). Bryan closes by noting that rising dew points across most U.S. markets over the last 20 years make whole-home dehumidification more relevant than ever — and that any region where you can see green grass outside is a candidate for a more advanced moisture control strategy. Topics Covered Introduction to Nikki Krueger and the merger of Santa Fe and AprilAire under one brand The purpose of whole-home ventilating dehumidifiers and how they fit into an overall HVAC system strategy Latent vs. sensible heat loads explained — and why both matter for comfort and moisture control Geographic reach of humidity problems — why dehumidification isn't just a Florida or Gulf Coast issue Ken Gehring ("Teddy Bear"), inventor of the whole-house ventilating dehumidifier, and his framework for diagnosing moisture problems The four-factor checklist before deploying a dehumidifier: building envelope, AC sizing, AC setup/airflow, and ventilation strategy How occupant behavior (thermostat preferences, activity levels, large households) creates latent load variability The dangers of overcooling — how setting thermostat too low can cause interstitial condensation in walls, ceilings, and attics Sensible heat ratio (SHR) and its role in a system's ability to remove moisture — targeting ~350 CFM per ton in humid climates Why dehumidifiers should connect to a dedicated return and discharge into the supply — not tie into the AC return side How dehumidifier heat output (~1,054 BTUs per pint) can reduce AC coil efficiency when ducted incorrectly Fan-on strategy debate: when running continuous low-speed circulation helps vs. hurts humidity control Tighter homes, smaller systems, and the importance of air mixing strategies (including ceiling fans)  Ventilating dehumidifiers vs. dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) — clearing up a common misconception about how ventilation air is conditioned Dew point management for outdoor air ducts — preventing condensation inside duct runs Using dehumidifiers to address sweating ductwork in multi-story homes Rising dew points over the past 20 years and what "green grass climates" means for dehumidification demand Heat pump oversizing challenges in colder climates and the downstream impact on AC latent removal Santa Fe's new Ultra V Series: 8-inch ventilation duct, stronger fan, digital controls, and wired remote humidity sensor Why proper dehumidifier sizing matters: short-cycling risks, moisture reservoir release, and uneven RH throughout the home Why Santa Fe chose a wired humidity sensor — accuracy, reliability, and reducing contractor callbacks Audience Q&A: oversizing consequences, short-cycling mechanics, and sensor placement best practices   Learn more about Santa Fe Dehumidifiers at santafeproducts.com.  Connect with Nikki Krueger on LinkedIn or Instagram @nikkikruegerIAQ.

Send us a textYour shed shouldn't feel like an oven or a gas cabinet. We dig into a practical, proven way to protect what you store by helping your building breathe—using low intake, high exhaust, and small solar-powered fans that move air exactly when heat strikes. Dan Rheaume, the mind behind Solar Blaster, breaks down the physics of convection, the myth of wind-dependent gable vents, and the simple CFM math that shows how often you can refresh the air inside a typical shed. Jamie from Your Shed Guy brings a decade of field results from Nevada's harsh desert, where dust kills turbine bearings and gable vents pull silt across valuables, but low-profile solar vents quietly keep spaces cooler, drier, and far cleaner.We get specific about real problems that cost you money: container rain caused by temperature swings, rusted tools, solidified concrete bags, and fumes from fuel or pool chemicals trapped in sealed spaces. You'll hear how to pair proper intake with ridge or turtle vents, why even radiant barrier OSB needs airflow to work, and how a 5–10 minute install can change comfort and safety without tying into electrical. We talk pricing, warranty, and the sales edge that comes from a live demo on the lot—where customers can actually feel the draw at the vent and understand how solar assists natural airflow throughout the hottest hours.Whether you build, sell, or own sheds and containers, this is a blueprint for smarter storage: design for convection, add solar assist, and keep your structure and belongings in better shape for longer. If you've ever opened a door to a wall of heat or fumes, this conversation offers a fix that's affordable, durable, and easy to standardize or retrofit.If this helped you rethink ventilation, subscribe, share it with a fellow builder or dealer, and leave a review with your biggest airflow question—we'll tackle it next.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Would you like to receive our weekly newsletter?  Sign up here.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: Shed ProCardinal ManufacturingDigital Shed BuilderNewFound Solutions

In this engaging and informative episode, Bryan sits down with Elliot to discuss his recent training experience with the National Comfort Institute (NCI), covering two intensive courses on duct system optimization and residential air balancing. The conversation offers valuable insights for HVAC professionals looking to improve their technical skills and provide better service to their customers. With a mix of technical expertise and practical field experience, this episode breaks down complex HVAC concepts into actionable strategies for contractors and technicians. Elliot shares his key takeaways from the NCI training, emphasizing how the courses filled critical knowledge gaps about the "invisible stuff" in HVAC systems—the air itself. The discussion reveals a common industry problem: most HVAC professionals focus heavily on equipment while neglecting proper duct design and air balancing. Elliot explains how he learned to move beyond guesswork in duct design, discovering that flex duct has actual CFM ratings and that proper system design requires understanding static pressure, equivalent length of fittings, and the science behind airflow. The conversation highlights the importance of oversized return air systems—a point both hosts stress repeatedly—and explains why Florida (and possibly the entire nation) suffers from chronically undersized returns. The hosts discuss various duct system approaches, from traditional trunk lines to the flex-and-fitting systems, acknowledging that different markets require different solutions based on climate, building construction, and supply chain availability. Throughout the episode, Bryan and Elliot tackle practical installation challenges that technicians face daily. They discuss the importance of proper flex duct installation, explaining how compressed or sagging ductwork dramatically reduces airflow efficiency. The conversation covers the critical role of balancing dampers in every branch run, the impact of proper duct strapping, and how simple adjustments like straightening kinked flex duct can immediately improve CFM delivery. The hosts also address the limitations of builder-grade installations, noting that most new construction lacks the dampers necessary for proper air balancing. They emphasize a practical, process-based approach to HVAC work that focuses on getting clients measurable results without requiring perfect conditions or unlimited budgets. The episode concludes with a strong endorsement of the National Comfort Institute's training programs and tools, particularly the TrueFlow Grid and measureQuick technologies that simplify complex air balancing calculations. Bryan and Elliot stress the importance of ethical, high-performance contracting that delivers real value to customers rather than just marketing sizzle. They encourage HVAC professionals to invest in training and proper tools, acknowledging that while the initial investment may seem steep, the ability to provide superior service and reduce callbacks makes it worthwhile. The conversation serves as both a technical deep-dive and a call to action for contractors to elevate their skills and focus on the whole system—equipment, ductwork, and building envelope—to truly solve customer comfort problems. Topics Covered NCI Training Experience - Elliot's overview of the duct system optimization and residential air balancing courses, including instructor quality and course relevance to Florida's HVAC market Duct Design Fundamentals - Moving from guesswork to calculated design using CFM ratings, square footage calculations, and proper system output considerations Static Pressure Management - Understanding static pressure drop across coils, the importance of variable speed fans, and strategies to reduce total external static pressure Return Air Systems - Why bigger returns are always better, the critical importance of oversized return grills, and the impact of filter face velocity on system performance Equivalent Length of Fittings - How fittings add "phantom" duct length to runs, techniques to reduce equivalent length, and the dramatic impact of turning vanes on 90-degree turns Flex Duct vs. Trunk Lines - Comparing different duct system approaches across various markets, the pros and cons of metal, duct board, and flex systems, and the flex-and-fitting methodology Proper Flex Installation - The importance of stretching flex duct correctly, proper strapping techniques, and how sagging or compressed flex drastically reduces airflow Air Balancing Techniques - The necessity of balancing dampers in every branch run, methods for achieving proper air distribution, and using velocity comparisons for troubleshooting Throw and Mixing in Rooms - Understanding that grills, not duct size, control air throw and mixing, and the role of Manual T in selecting appropriate terminal devices Practical Installation Tips - Simple improvements technicians can make during service calls, like straightening kinked ductwork and adding straps to reduce sag High-Performance Tools - The TrueFlow Grid, measureQuick app, hot wire anemometers, and other technologies that simplify complex air balancing calculations Building Performance Perspective - Moving beyond equipment-only focus to consider the entire system: ductwork, building envelope, and how they all interact Ethical Contracting - Delivering real value to customers, avoiding the "all sizzle, no steak" approach, and providing solutions that work within real-world budgets and constraints   Learn more about NCI's training opportunities HERE.

Confira no Morning Show desta quinta-feira (08): Durante a cerimônia que marcou os três anos dos atos de 8 de Janeiro, o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva vetou integralmente o Projeto de Lei que reduz as penas do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro e de outros condenados pelos atos golpistas, inclusive os episódios de vandalismo de 8 de janeiro de 2023. A proposta ficou conhecida como PL da Dosimetria. Durante a cerimônia que marcou os três anos dos atos de 8 de Janeiro, o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva discursou em defesa da democracia e afirmou que seu governo não fica “falando mal do outro governo”. Segundo o petista, “a democracia exige que a gente fale pouco e ouça muito”. A Penitenciária 2 de Tremembé, no interior de São Paulo, conhecida nacionalmente como o “presídio dos famosos”, deixará de receber detentos de grande repercussão midiática. A decisão prevê a transferência dos atuais presos que se enquadram nesse perfil, entre eles nomes como o ex-jogador Robinho e o empresário Thiago Brennand. No passado, a unidade também abrigou condenados como Alexandre Nardoni, Roger Abdelmassih e Cristian Cravinhos. Com a mudança, o presídio passará a receber internos com outro perfil, encerrando uma era marcada pela concentração de detentos conhecidos do grande público. Cinco homens que se passavam por guardadores de carro foram presos na região da Lapa, em São Paulo, após serem flagrados extorquindo motoristas. A ação ocorreu na Praça Marechal Carlos Machado Bittencourt, nas proximidades do Museu da Imagem e do Som (MIS), e contou com a intervenção direta do subprefeito Paulo Telhada, conhecido como Coronel Telhada, ex-comandante da Rota. Ao constatar a prática criminosa, Telhada realizou a abordagem com arma empunhada e efetuou a prisão dos suspeitos, que depois foram encaminhados às autoridades policiais. O ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal, anulou a sindicância aberta pelo Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM) para apurar uma suposta falta de assistência médica ao ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro após uma queda na prisão. Segundo Moraes, houve ilegalidade, ausência de competência e desvio de finalidade por parte do CFM, já que a apuração envolvia a atuação da Polícia Federal. O ministro afirmou que não houve omissão da equipe médica da PF e destacou que os exames realizados no Hospital DF Star não apontaram qualquer problema ou sequela relacionada ao episódio. O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmou nesta quarta-feira (07) que o governo interino da Venezuela concordou em usar toda a receita obtida com a venda de petróleo para comprar exclusivamente produtos fabricados nos Estados Unidos, em meio a um acordo energético que se desenvolve durante a crise política venezuelana. Segundo Trump, a lista incluirá produtos agrícolas, medicamentos, dispositivos médicos e equipamentos para infraestrutura elétrica, e o país latino-americano estaria se comprometendo a fazer dos EUA seu principal parceiro comercial. O anúncio ocorre logo após uma ofensiva militar americana que resultou na captura do ex-líder venezuelano Nicolás Maduro e no redirecionamento de até 50 milhões de barris de petróleo para o mercado norte-americano.

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: Have been listening to your podcast for awhile now and the more I listen to more questions come to mind. Here is my current one for a walnut waterfall bench I'm working on. The dimensions are approx 58”L x 18”W x 16”D. How should I join a shelf to this bench where the grain flows continuously from the legs up through the bench top? The shelf will also be a glued up panel with the grain running the same direction as the bench top. If I attach the shelf to the inside faces of the legs using a mortise and tenon joint, do I need to account for wood movement? The legs, benchtop, and shelf are all 1.75” thick. I would assume that given they're all the same thickness and technically the wood grain is in the same direction as the legs, just perpendicular, it would expand and contract together, and I could just glue the tenon. That said I don't want to guess and hearing Guy talk about furniture exploding has me concerned. If wood movement is a concern then what's the correct way to account for this movement? Should it be treated like a breadboard end with dowels through the tenons, installed through the bottom of the legs (the shelf sits 2 inches off the ground)? Or would it be better, and stronger, to use floating tenons/Dominos for this joint instead and just not glue the outside dominos and cut them loose to account for the expansion and contraction while gluing the center domino(s)? Thanks, Chayse Bell Thanks for the great podcast, I discovered your channel about a month ago and now listen all the time traveling to and from work. I've been woodworking a little over a year now and currently working on a dining table made from ash and have picked up all sorts of pearls that have helped with the glue up, apron design, finishing, etc., so thank you for all that. This question is directed to Brian, as he has mentioned that his shop is in his basement. I currently work out of my two car garage that I share with my wife's car. We just built the house in 2024 and I'm kicking myself that I didn't insulate the garage. These cold Northern Indiana days are making working in the garage pretty uncomfortable. I know I could just insulate it, but HVAC isn't attached to the garage either so to make it truly comfortable would be a big job/cost. So, Brian, can you share a little more about the layout/design of your basement shop? E.g. was it a room that existed that you converted into the shop or you framed the room specifically for a shop? How do you take extra precautions to make sure your family isn't affected by dust, as this is my primary concern. Obviously, I know of dust collection and dust filters, but it still concerns me to think I'd be working in the basement. Do you have anything you wish you did differently? We have an unfinished basement that is very open, so the sky would be the limit for me in the future before we finish it. Thanks, Evan Guys Questions: Somewhat recently I made a gift for my wife using White oak. I had predetermined that for a finishing schedule I wanted to first apply Danish oil, then seal it with shellac, and minwax performance series varnish for a top coat. I ran into an issue when I began to finish the piece. Not knowing a thing about wood porosity, I liberally applied watco Danish oil, and as a result I had a big problem with seepage. Now, my research had cautioned me that I would need to keep checking on the piece periodically for the next several hours after application to wipe up any seepage that came up. Even so, you this went on for so long that it became an issue. Two full days after application I was still wiping up seepage. I would wipe the piece down before bed at night, and when I'd check it in the morning there would be spots on the surface that took a considerable amount of effort to buff out. I couldn't keep up with it, and after a few days the surface was covered in spots, which meant that I had to start over.  As I mentioned previously, I could not find any information online regarding how to deal with this problem. Just to see what would happen, I decided to try aiming a heat gun at the work piece after it had been drying for a couple of hours. This worked phenomenally, and I could not have been more thrilled. Of course the heat didn't dry out the wood any faster or anything, but what it did do was vastly accelerate the seepage process. The oil was rapidly drawn up to the surface of the wood, where I could wipe it away, and after treating both sides in this manner for a total of perhaps 10 minutes it seemed that all of the excess oil had been drawn out. I wiped the work piece down and had no more issues.  Of, like with any application involving a heat gun, I had to keep it moving, otherwise it would start to bake the spots of oil onto the surface. Anyways, I just thought this was a neat trick that might come in handy with oil finishes if seepage is ever a huge issue. I hope you guys found this interesting. Zach Owens Hello from Chico, California! I have recently started listening to y'all's podcast while researching inspiration for reconfiguring and refining my workspace. I thank Guy for highlighting the importance of drawers, I realized that I previously had none. I am a hobbyist woodworker looking for advice on air filtration for my two car garage shop. It is approximately 3960 cubic feet, 22' x 20' x 9'. While working, the garage door and access door (detached garage with no climate control) is usually open, weather permitting, and tend to have good airflow and supplement with a box fan when needed. I have a Harbor Freight 2hp Dust Collector for my machines, cabinet saw, planer, jointer, and router table and do feel that this my be slighty under powered for my system. I do notice a fair amount of fine dust suspended in the air after milling operations and breaking down sheet goods on the table saw and a noteable layer of dust across the entire shop. I think that adding an air filter could help reduce fine particulate and could potentially allow me to work with doors shut when it is too hot or too cold. Do you think that adding an air filter makes a significant addition to air quality or should I look further into optimizing dust collection? If you feel an air filter is a worthwhile addition, what would you reccomend for an approximately 4,000 cubic foot shop? I have been looking at the WEN 3410 unit due to claimed CFM and cost. I have also contemplated building one with a second hand blower from an old furnace. I am mechanically inclined and competent with electrical. I also feel that timers and variable speeds are not needed. I would also add that whatever I decide, the garage is detached from the main house and there is a studio above that is rented out to a seperate individual and would like noise and resonance to be kept to a minimum. The only real estate I have available for air filtration is the ceiling. Thank you for your time. Nick Halverson Huys Questions: Longtime listener. Truly enjoy the podcast. I am considering upgrading my table saw to a contractor or cabinet model. The choice are really overwhelming. I get a lot of advice on different brands, phase of motor and should I buy new or used. Any advice appreciated. Greg I recently bought a small bandsaw mill (Woodmizer LX30) and am becoming an amateur sawyer, exclusively to supply lumber for my own projects.  Once I have dried lumber to an acceptable moisture content, what is the best way to store a few thousand board feet?  My kiln guy says I should store packs of dead-stacked lumber horizontally, wrapped in 6-mil plastic.  That sounds like a pain.  I'd prefer to forgo the plastic and store the lumber horizontally, on edge, in a rack, in my unheated pole barn - which, I should note, sometimes gets a wet floor in heavy rains.  Then I'd bring pieces into my shop for a few days to acclimate before machining.  What do you recommend for long-term lumber storage?

In this short podcast episode, Bryan explains the science behind a common HVAC simile: static pressure is like blood pressure. He covers the similarities and differences between measuring static pressure during a service call or maintenance and a doctor measuring your blood pressure at a checkup. Total external static pressure (TESP) should be measured every time you perform service or maintenance on a unit. The exact test port location will vary between air handlers and furnaces; the coil adds extra pressure drop in furnace applications. You need to pick a coil that has the lowest static pressure drop (same consideration as filters). Typically, the lower the pressure drop, the better. Make sure you use proper ports for static pressure testing when you do make those holes. Static pressure isn't airflow itself. It can help diagnose airflow issues or give indications, but it doesn't measure the CFM. Static pressure is a balloon-type pressure exerted on the walls of the duct. Just as high blood pressure doesn't mean your heart is pumping more blood than it should, a high static pressure doesn't mean your blower is moving a lot of air; both can indicate restrictions. You also don't want an extremely low static pressure, either. It could indicate that airflow is weak, just like a very low blood pressure indicates that the heart isn't pumping as it should. If you want to know your system airflow, you should use TEC's TrueFlow grid. However, static pressure is particularly good at measuring trends so that you can see where the numbers deviate from the norm for each individual system.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
