I am so pleased you posted this as at the moment our ventilation is through the wall - but we are thinking of changing our studio and your set up is so much neater and no hole in the wall - so thank you 🙏
Hi Jo! I'm glad it was helpful! It's been the most common question that people have asked so far. It was way easier for me to cut the plywood and shingles than to cut a ton of cinder block. Let me know if you need any advice.
I use a 3000 cfm 30" whole house fan ,talk about loud ,lol. I am tired of the noise last 10 years.I have plenty of grow fans just laying around ,should have changed my setup by now . A hood is definitely a good idea , I wonder what would happen to bubble trash with this setup . 🍻😎
@@FusingShop ,it works great ! Just loud for neighbors when I work all night . Just installed 2 8" fans and I am dissapointed . One has 460cfm and the other 875cfm on high I assume and I like the sound on medium but high seems loud also so might have wasted my time .
@@jacobreynolds4547 Lol I hear. Those fans can really cause a racket. Better to deal with the loud noise then to have toxins going into your lungs. All the best! Sim
Thanks for the post. I'm about to put a vent for my shop and probably going this route. Easy and simple to put through the outside of a wall. May I ask what lavaliere mic you use?
I have noticed your ventilation because I am looking at setting it up myself. I have a Nortel Minor, so I feel like 6" is about all I need in diameter. My main issue is I'm in a rental house currently, and I am not in a position to move right now. If all goes right, I will hopefully be moving around June 24. In the meantime, I can't exactly stick a vent through the roof obviously. Would there be any issue with running a flexible vent hose past the fan and having it go out through the garage door, or the door that goes to my backyard? I have dogs so my only concern would be glass blowing out onto the ground, but I didn't know if that was a problem with small amounts. Sorry so long.
Hey Ryan! Thanks for reaching out. You need to make sure the vapors are being removed from your workspace. How close is the garage door to your torch? The purpose of the ventilation system is to pull the fume and toxic vapors away from your face so you don't have to worry about glass getting sucked into the fan. Once the vapors are outdoors, they dissipate into the outside air so you don't have to worry about your animals breathing in any vapors. Same thing if bubble trash is sucked into the fan, it's safe once it's out of a closed-in space. Hope this helps! Sim
@@FusingShop Thank you! I've been at the back but was told to move closer to the door. Didn't know if he meant that because I didn't have anything yet, or just in general even after. Thank you for your response!
@@ryano2883 Of course! Yes moving closer to the door would be better. You don't want the vapors hanging around in the air. You need to vent those vapors outside. Also your ventilation system will work much better with less tubing. The shorter the tubing, the better it will work. All the best! Sim
Cutting the hole in the wall would have been preferable. Less of a chance for leaks, and no chance of it causing structural issues unless they were there to begin with.
Hi Kendrick! Thanks for your input. I hear the comment about the possibility of getting water in through the roof. So far, thank God, that has not been an issue. Regarding the wall, I was worried about cutting a 16-inch hole in the cinder blocks. Either way, my exhaust fan is functional and does what I need it to do =).
I would not recommend using this fan, hence the use of duct tape in this set up, you should buy an inlime fan instead that allows you to sleeve it into the straight duct itself.

This was very informative for someone that wants to have a setup like this at home. Thank you!
Yep. I'm very into doing things on a budget which I why I wind up doing things myself lol.
Love the snow! Glad I moved to California 😅😃
The snow is so pretty. But as an adult the driving and shoveling don't make it worth it lol.
Thank you for posting this video, and for the fan link!
You're welcome! That fan kicks butt. Mine has a wired control but the new one is wireless so it's even move convenient.
Thank you for the video and information ! I’m just setting up, so it’s very helpful !
Glad it was helpful! Feel free to reach out with any questions. All the best! Sim
Thanks for the fan link!!
You got it!
#notrelated -That lawn mower is a beast! I love mine! Greenworks makes A+ products ....
Hi Karlcain! Yes the Greenworks mower is really nice. My kids love using it because it's so light and nimble. All the best! Sim

3,000 CFM is more than enough. What is the size of your space? With 3,000 CFM, that should eat bubble trash for dinner, or maybe a light snack.

Good ol' duct tape! 7:10
Yay duct tape! So many uses.

Hi! I use a wireless system. It's the Sennheiser EW100 G3. All the best@! Sim

Thanks Bryan! Let me know if you have any questions.

What do you recommend?
