Item number 2 on my feature hit list is extraction of fumes to outside, so this is going to replace my current setup which is a window fan mounted on its side like a kitchen stove hood.
I cut a hole in the corner of the top surface of my Lack table and mounted a fan on the underside. On the top side above the fan,

I have a plan to put perspex on the front, left, and right sides.
