Best place to look is for a "squirrel cage" blower from an old forced air heating system. I must warn you they are pricey and they require some serious amperage to operate.

I'm currently eyeing the vent fan in my downstairs bathroom.  My wife has been wanting to replace it anyway.

I've started construction and building it around a 20"x25" filter.  The piece I was going to use for the floor turns out to have a 5-6" hole cut it in it so I've got enough for everything but the floor (unless you think the hole won't matter)

The Hole in the "floor" shouldn't matter. All you want is to keep the air pressure in the box less than the air pressure outside the box so air flows into the box and drags the fumes with it.

I was actually pretty lucky that the local Lumber Yard was going out of business, and came across these stackable Banister type Book cases and display cases.  Some were broken and this one I picked up was just the right size, yet the glass front was all busted. So I added a Magnetic motored Bathroom fan, and cut a hole out the back so the tube extends to the Window and out.  The suction on the fan isn't as good as it used to be, but it is replaceable and I may have to pick one up soon.  So now I mask myself, Spray a little, and wait for the fumes to leave.  Of course this whole work station lives in my Kitchen table, But who needs to eat?

Very true, but the parts keep falling out (!!!) so I think I'll track down a better surface.  Thanks again for the help on this one, I'll post more pictures as things progress.

Hey Tholian!  Yeah, food is for wimps.  Gald to see you're putting that kitchen table to good use.
