Fumes hoods are a must for amateur and professional refiners.
Now that we register -38°C (-34°F) outside, I can't refine anything... So I think it would be a good moment to build a larger fume hood with a few improvements.
First, here's what we need:
-Melamine Boards (4'x8' and 4'x4') 50$
-Fasco 220V Electric Blower 50$
-Acrylic Sheet 60''x30'' (could be plexiglass) 50$
-Wood Screws
-Electric Drill 0$
-Jig Saw 0$
-2'x4' Wood
-Plastic Drier tubing
-Windows Sealant
-
I'm making my fume hood with melamine since it's quite cheap and if you spill anything on it, you can easy recover your values (it's non porous).

I had to make the back panel in two parts because the melamine boards would not have entered my mother's car.
Here is the almost finished fume hood. I know there are a few steps missing but I had broke my camera meanwhile

220V Blower

At full speed, this blower really sounds like a jet engine !
What is sure is that it sucks in a LOT of air.
Close up view. I have an on/off switch and a speed controller.

I still need to install two neons and a front panel...
