I've been wanting a cabinet for about a year now. Finally got off my butt and started putting some scrap materials together. The metal tabletop is off an old kitchen table which SWMBO gave me 'cause "you've already ruined it anyway". This is all upstairs in the barn - the vent goes outside and pollutes the Earth. The whole cabinet is suspended over the stairwell.
Tried to take a couple of shots of the fans, but they didn't turn out well. The fans move a lot of air - should exhaust fluxing fumes well. The main clear plastic window has a lower edge which fits between my chin and shoulders, leaving lots of room inside the hood for the stomach and arms. The "upper" window was suggested by mdi - really simple once I found the old sheet of plastic. Don't know where to put the new PID box - maybe on top. Overall width is 38.5", and I wish there was more room. Still, I can only work with one pot at a time.
The "feeder" pot was going to be mounted on the back wall (like Patrick L), but it seemed to be somewhat inflexible that way. I dunno - not very happy with the cobbled up mess I've got inside the cabinet. Hoping to spend some time building mold racks on both sides of the cabinet - and I'm thinking of a tall stool for when I get tired of standing. Wish some more pictures of other cabinets would be posted - I need ideas!
