Make a Simple Low-Budget Ventilation System

Family Handyman

Grab a fan, plywood and a furnace filter

In his finishing room, professional woodworker Dave Munkittrick uses a ventilation system that’s economical, simple and effective.

How to make this ventilation system:

Dave stuck a plywood insert with a hole for a fan in one window, and in the other window, he taped low-budget ventilation a piece of furnace filter material.

How it works:

When he turns on the fan, air is pulled through the fabric, filtered of dust and exhausted through the fan. But even with the good ventilation, he still wears a respirator for extra protection.
