Mounting a Fan for Solder Fumes Exhaust.
Intro: Mounting a Fan for Solder Fumes Exhaust.
Taking a nice fan with a wierd base and mounting it to drywall above the Rock The Bike soldering station.
STEP 1: Create a Wooden Plate Offset From Wall for Fan's Triangle Base to Slip Through.
STEP 2: Cut Pieces With Jig Saw.
duh.
STEP 3: Mounting Bracket to Wall.
Wooden standoff allows fans base to slide down. Fan can still swivel at any angle.

As an experiment, when I was having some general-health blood tests done (cholesterol, etc...), I had them run a lead level test. Now, I've been soldering for perhaps 10 years, and a good portion of that was indoors, with less than ideal ventilation, and my lead level was so low the test didn't even register anything.

But I always got a bigger headache from the fan than I get from the fumes.
Agreed, the sound is less harmful than the chemical; but my God did it drive me nuts!
(A Computer fan will possibly be my first project shall I start again)
