This is a bit long winded but stay with it 
. Ok this was made on a budget tighter than a fishes ear Materials you need : plywood (in my case i use the packing case from my P/T) ,Batten (off cuts from workshop build) ,3 pin plug (taken off new P/T as 16amp plugs on machinery), flex (roll i had in the shed), hoover bag (blagged from cupboard), mesh (old barby grill), fan (old domestic air heater fan was couple of quid from a job), foam coarse filter (from the shed old fish keeping stuff), medium filter (blagged from a workmate DWAH filter) .
First of all i cut plywood 150mm larger than fan all the way around,marked out exhaust hole and cut out .This is a good time to wire the fan with the flex. Then cut short battens to space the filters off the fan housing and fix them to the sides, then assembled the box .
I used battens to create crude frames to fix the filter material and mesh, don't cut foam filters too close to the frame as this will seal the rear of the box when they have been installed. Ok put the fine filter in the back first , then medium and then course i made a small frame to keep then in . Then sand and in my case a paint job done .It will become a bit clearer when you see the pictures here http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/[email protected]/slideshow?.dir=/cc10&.src=ph .
Ok the good things about using a fan from a warm air heater are they run very quiet, circulate a lot of air but dont create a dust storm and low power consumption.
The reason this post is called childs play is because HID said i am like a kid get a big expensive toy then i just play with the box :lol:
