Ok so I took DLtoker's design for a Carbon filter
I did some thing a bit different, Rather than use hose clamps I decided to solder the chicken wire (I used 1/2" had it lying around) to the reducers and end caps. I was not able to find the 6" coupler so I took a 6"to 4" and cut the 4" flange off then cut the tin down till I had what would be like the 6" coupler.
Instead of using panty hose (just couldn't bring myself to buy them at the store
) I used Cheese cloth to wrap the cylinders. It worked out to one cheese cloth per cylinder.
The fit was so tight that I had to use the left over from cutting the 4" flange off of the 6" to 4" reducer to make a handle to remove the 8" cap.
To hold the 8" end cap to the filter I drilled a hole in the 6" end cap. I used about a 2" piece of all thread and two nuts to lock that to the 6" end cap. Then used a wing nut just under the handle I made to secure the 8" cap to the filter. I still have not filled it with charcoal but I think it will work to remove the smell from my 100CF room.
Well I was going to post the pictures but apparently the server is to busy for that.
