Homemade Carbon Filter

[POTential]

I've had this done for a little while now but I'm getting close to the installation so I wanted to put these up first. I'm also going to deconstruct only the fans because upon buying new ones for the intake, I discovered that the two new fans were 85cfm. The fans on the filter now are only 65cfm so I'm going to change the 65's to the intake and use the 85's for the filter.

It's 1' 1.5" long and I used a 4"-5" adapter to create the shape.

ok this is for *****

things needed:
2footx3foot of chicken wire
2x cooker hood crbon filter pads from any good hardware store
grease filter paper usually comes in a kit with the filter pads
duct tape
large needle and thread

ok first off you are going to decide on the size you want!!?

then you are going to gut the chicken wire into a square that masures 2 x 2 feet
now roll the cicken wire into a cylinder the size of your fan eg 100mm=4inch
then tie or bend over the ends of the wire locking it in place,if you like you can thread the edge
now roll the carbon filter pads around the wire tubeand use the needle and thread to sew it up

ok now u have a wire mesh tube with the carbon pads wraped around it

take the other pad and cut a circle out of it
this will be used as the end of the tube sew it up as before
ok now use the tape to wrap around the end of the tube that will be connected to your fan which will give a nice seel

ok now take the grease filter paper and do the same thing the paper will act as the dust filter and the carbon will remove odors
after u have applied the paper u will want to use duct tape to seel the edges of all joins.!!!!

easy ay and will only cost around £10-15 hope this helps ya all!!!!!!!!

Any pics of this tutorial, it would help immensely! Would love to build it!
