Default Ventilation

I am just setting up my lampworking studio and would like to get some info on setting up a ventilation system. Does anyone know where I would buy this at?

Thanks, Paula

Unfortunately there is not any readily available ready made system that are designed specifically for lampwork applications...

Best bet is to go to "safety forum" and read up on what others have done to get an idea whats required....

Default My ventilation system

I got a used restaurant ventilation hood from a guy who installs restaurant hoods. He had one hanging around in his backlot. I bought a "squirrel fan" from Granger. They helped me pick one out. It is loud, and you have to have a Tax id/ business to buy from them but my husbands friend had one.
I tried to put the picture of it when it was being installed but it is too big. This is the pic on Facebook

You can mount the fan outside in a plenum box under the eves of the gable end of the building. That will reduce the noise considerably.
