Welding Fume Extractor

[jamesemery728]

Does anyone have a homemade welding fume extractor in their shop? Pictures would be great. Or do you just do your welding outdoors?

I have seen some elaborate setups that are comprised of dual 24" box fans in a wooden frame, sealed with plastic sheeting. This is used to extract welding fumes AND paint dust from HVLP projects.

Shoot me your email and I will pass along some snapshots.

i just have a big house exhaust fan on a switch i turn on when i need it, my garage is only 10x20 so the fan moves a ton of air pretty quickly.
