I’m working on a new metal sculpture that will require a great deal of welding and with that comes a lot of smoke. So I had to build an extractor that could remove all of that smoke. After a quick search online and finding that most extractors were outside of my budget, I decided to build my own.
Here’s a list of all the parts I used. These are Amazon affiliate links which provide me a percentage of a sale if you choose to click on any of the following links.

Nice Build -- during your test, was that MiG fluxcore?
I have a small garage so I would put a switch near the draw in end so I am not sucking all the out all the heat in the winter.
Cheers
You saved thousands.
a metal covered swicth can be dangerous. Good job. Thanks for video.
Would you add any filters at some point? If the door had to be closed it would be great to be able to continue working
Cool video man
I like the 4K
Yr ye kha milega,,
Cool! I've been brainstorming how to do this in my new shop. Just scored two 8" inline fans from my landlady to power the system (one for welding, one for plasma table). Just a word of caution, might want to upgrade to traditional wiring with a ground wire or use and extension cord with a ground for the switch and fan. If that fan somehow ends up becoming live, which isn't too bigger of a stretch to imagine given its all metal and vibrating constantly while on, it could get you pretty easily. Say you're leaned against your table with the welder ground clamp connected to the table and go to adjust the exhaust tube above the table... Zappo. Pretty crazy cool how well that system appears to work! Excited to get my head out of the clouds in my shop.
