I want to try the homemade kiln vent described on this site:

http://www.handspiral.com/kiln_vent.htm

I can't find a fan for anywhere near the price mentioned in then article =
=3D
and=3D20
was thinking of trying a range hood fan or a bathroom fan. I can find bot=
=3D
h for=3D20
a much better price. I think a bathroom fan would have to be reversed if =
=3D
left=3D20
in the housing to vent in the right direction and the range hood fan woul=
=3D
d=3D20
have to be put into some ducting.

Has anyone tried doing this (or another design) and been successful?

Thanks for any advice.
