Ideas for ventilation for soldering & glass?
I am in the middle of setting up my studio in our new house....I would love to see pictures of your soldering station & lampwork station if you are using one ventilation system....I haven't quite figured out how to share the system (using one at a time)?
Most of the posts I have searched - showed ventilation for the lampwork station but not for the soldering station....in our last house I put a box over my lampwork torch with my soldering station on top but I want a separate station that I don't have to take apart each time....
Thanks,
Shauna

Since soldering does not produce the volume of gases that a burning torch does, and mostly all you want to do is pull out any smoke and noxious fumes, the kitchen vent hood everybody wants to use for TORCH ventilation would probably be more than sufficient to ventilate soldering area...

Dale? I thought lots of lampworkers use kitchen vent hoods?

A lot do... A lot may not be aware that their ventilation may not be functioning as well as they thought..... If you work out accepted design specifications many hoods have under powered fans for size of hood opening.....

Two vented work stations
We have a wall vent system. It has two ducts. One is for soldering and one for lampwork. When only one is being used I block off one duct with a cover made form thick paper.. At my lampwork station I have a box over my torch and the vent plugs into the back. The torch flame is directed toward the duct opening.
I use an additional clip on fan behind me to send the air into the box. I will take a photo tomorrow when it is daylight here. Hope this helps. My husband does Stained Glass and I do metals in addition to glass.
Also my studio is built on the back on our garage so I have a exterior wall for the vent.
Best of luck,
Adelle

I remember reading about a year ago, some of you had pictures and I believe a tutorial of how to set up a good working ventilation system with a hood. I just got my studio framed and am at the place of doing the electrical and ventilation install. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Do any of you have pictures and info, etc to share?
Thanks!
