Homemade fumehood version 2

A [[en:Fume_hood fume hood]] is a safety cabinet for making chemical experiments preventing exposure of the user to dangerous gases and other dangers. Usually it is a ventilated closed box to drag off the gases. It is provided with a transparent front door so that the user can view the experiments safely. All chemical [[en:Laboratory laboratories]] use fume hoods for performing their experiments.

As I sometimes work with acids for cleaning jewelry or do other things which expel noxious gases I decided to make my own fume hood. Of course not as professional as in labs, but it works. From an old small table with drawers from the trash I made it. I got some extra stuff from the local [[www.praxis.nl hardware store chain]].

In 2009 I made the first trial version a small one.
In June 2010 I moved to a new home and there I installed a completely new room for my metalsmithing (silver and gold) and a larger fumehood for melting metals, soldering and chemical experiments as well. Its size is 90cm wide, 66cm deep and 80cm high with a [[en:Lexan Lexan]] front door which can shifted up as usual in 'real' lab fumehoods
