  1. I posted this awhile back: I couldn't manage to find any metal fab shops that would take on such a small job as cutting sheet metal for making my Super-Sucker side draft hood. Then one day at work at our office I saw an ancient, dinged up 2-drawer filing cabinet that was being tossed out....and the lights came on! The back/top was ideal and just needed liberated with an angle grinder & cut-off wheel! I I drew out lines for the height and angled sides, made the cuts...and presto! All it needed was the frame around the front and round hole cut in the top. This solved a lot of worry over cutting, bending, & welding the main box. Frosty gave great advice. See plans for Super-Sucker. The description above works tremendously good...and is *one* way to address your needs.

Hope this helps someone that's stuck on this issue like I was.
