Does anyone have any easy and cheap ways to build a housing around a fan, almost like on a hand blower exept it will be run by a motor instead, all i need is a housing and a ways to make it and attatch it to the fan.
thanx DM

what kind of blower do you have?

You can always make something out of plywood, ducting, angle iron, etc. Depends on your fan.

you could use a coffee can ...but you didn't say how large the blades are?

Home Depot. HVAC section. Ducting.

Home Depot. Roof flashing or stove pipe. Tin snips, drill and pop rivets.

amen Frosty ! a blacksmith is not made by his tools he or she makes their tools

the blades are about 20cm apart

How about a photo and some measurements, then we could come up with some more definite "plans".

what size and what type of fan?

ok well ive made the blower housing and it fits perfectly and now i must just some how bolt it to the motor frame which is sheet metal of the sort
