I wanted to bump this thread and update it.
I’ve got my garage organized a bit, so it affords me some area to work with. I’ve started building my fume hood enclosure. I managed to build it mostly from wood I had on hand. I did buy screws and the 3/4 maple ply for the base...$28 for a 24”x48” piece! Yow! I picked up the kitchen vent hood cheap off craigslist. The hood won’t be attached, I’ll just have a foam gasket to seal it and some wood strips to center it when set in place. With the vent hood off, I can stow the cabinet out of the way. I’m still figuring out what I’m going to do for the front access. I’ve got a couple pieces of plexiglass on hand and was thinking of either a vertical sliding panel, or hinged doors. I’m going to prime it tomorrow and figure out what color to paint it. I’m thinking battleship grey...my daughter painted her room that color and I’ve got like a gallon left. I’ll update and post more pictures. It’s turning into kind of a fun project; I haven’t done any woodworking in a while.
