Air Filtration Part 3

 I got it up and working and it seems to work real well . I know the platform on which I put it is crooked I must say sorry I got in a big hurry. Since it is only a tempory spot for the blower I didn't really measure that well all I did was eyeball everything . But it is up and working.

Air Filtration System Pt.2

        Other than needing a coat of paint and being hung up this is it my home made air filter. I'm not completely happy but it will work. I should have built the cabinet and then installed the fan but instead I built the cabinet around the fan. Oh well . In the last picture is a timer that plugs into the wall and then the fan plugs into it I'm thinking I can let it run for a while after I leave the shop at night.......comments welcome....................Rick

Air Filtration System

   As You probly already know I'm on a pretty limited budget as well as all of you may be. I have needed an air filtration system for quite some time.I bought these 2 cage fans at a yard sale some time back. I also got a bunch of other stuff but thats a differant blogg. I decided to build My own. As you can see in pic#1 I have gotten a pretty good start, due to my premature construction syndrom I'm suffering from. All that is left on the big one is to build an out side case I'll start on that Monday  I have included a couple of pics from today. Not much was away from the shop almost all day.....Rick

Premature Construction

     I think a suffer from premature constuction syndrome I was planning on starting a new project today and documenting each step with pictures. Early this morning I was out in the shop getting ready to start when I tried a few of the ideas I had in my head just to make sure they would work. Well here it is 8:50 pm and I'm a bout half done building my project. I did one thing then another never thinking to get the camera. Well tomorrow is another day I'll take some pics of what I have and then finish the job. I 'm wondering is there anyone out there with the same affliction I have? It would be nice to hear from some of you...........Rick

front porch

I built the front porch on my house 5 almost 6 years ago when I built it I used paneling for the inside walls. After the 1st. winter it all warped and pulled away from the studs looked  terrible. This is the new walls I built all parts are made of 2x4's resawn and planed down to 3/8 in thickness and trimmed to 3" in width.. I  sanded each peice and painted both sides with 2 coats . I caulked both top and bottom and any gaps that where visible Each peice has 5 screws holding it to the wall I really don't think this is coming down anytime soon..............................Rick

boats and water wings

Thinking about building a boat.... Its rained none stop for the last 3 days all of the rivers in our area have raised by about 3 feet (just a guess) and its going to rain for the next 3 days also........Well this is Oregon and I shouldn't be surprised but I can't help wondering what dry land feels like.  Going to start a new project on Friday 3/23/12 and will have a whole week off to do it . All the schools will be closed for spring break. I will be posting a couple of times during the week. So stay tuned.........Rick
