I started out with these items. The big white thing is a carcass from a clothes dryer bought from a scrapyard for $3.00au. The filter mat is from an air-conditioning place, Industrial in this case. They cut it to size. This was $21au. The fan was a cheapy $12 job, but I didn't end up using it as it was too flimsy and I had to change the pitch of the blades to reverse it (the motor didn't change direction when I reversed the polarity, my AC/DC theory is long passed. lol). So a standard exhaust fan was substituted. $21.00. And a light. Any light will do although I will eventually install a nice long overhead light to reduce shadows. Anyway, the pics:
The starting set:
Had to do some stripping and panel beating. All good, didn't take long:
Panel beating done:
Next drilling and riveting to get the thing squared up and solid again:
Stripped and a basic cleanup:
The fan Mk.I got rejected for fan Mk.II:
Check for fit, perfect:
Did a wind tunnel test with a stick of incense, you may be able to see the smoke on its vertical axis. lol:
The finished product setup, then at work, perfect size and height, vented straight out the window obviously:
I did score another table that sits under it now:
Still some tidying up to do, I want to square up the front with a nice frame, it looks a little ratty. And as I said install a good light setup. Other than that, she's good to go. Hope this gives you some inspiration and ideas.
Thanks for watching.
