just finished mounting, hanging, and running the hvac for a 42in, 1200cfm vent hood in my kitchen. aside from my shoddy duct tape work (first time, don't hate), shits lookin nice I think. I lit some incense halfway across the room, and smoke didn't even rise vertically - it just made a straight line for the hood.

:clint:

I'm not sure if my man card was ever revoked or some poo poo, but I'm pretty certain that it if it ever was, it just got loving reinstated.

Looks great. A powerful hood was something I didn't think I would need but now don't think I could imagine living without. What did you end up with? I remember you asking for recommendations a few times over the last year or so.

well, I don't know about looks *great* - the whole house (1920's) is off kilter - the floor around the fridge is like almost an inch lower than by the stove, whoever previously renovated the kitchen hung the cabinets off level and a bunch of other stuff. but yeah I guess for babbys first remodeling project I'm happy with it.

My local appliance company suggested Broan's Best line, so I went with a WP28M42SB, and their 1200cfm remote blower. In the end, my research seemed to indicate that the hood itself didn't really matter - so long as it had metal baffles - it was more just the power of the blower. Having gotten intimate with the workings of the hood, I see why now. It really isn't anything but a metal shell you hook up to a duct - no special technology or hidden magic or anything. which is annoying, because the internet is full of people waxing poetic about certain brands or whatever. I guess that's the internet for you, nerds spergin' about poo poo.

I had a sheet metal company fabricate a custom length stainless soffit to hide the duct work. I would have that up already, but because of my house's aforementioned off-kilterness, it doesn't fit, BECAUSE APPARENTLY MY CEILING IS ALSO AT SOME STRANGE hosed UP ANGLE. thanks, entropy. it's like half an inch too high at some points.

I'll probably just get a dremel tool and grind down the metal to make it fit, or some giant metalcutting shears - unless anyone here has any bright ideas (subG, you know how to do everything)

Sup old house buddy? Mine's only 1947, but there's nothing square left in the joint even though it's solid as a brick shithouse. Whoever last remodeled the kitchen got nothing level and hung many doors upside down or backwards somehow. The kitchen layout is also severely compromised by some syndromic prior owner. I'm in the early planning stages for renovation.

Careful with using the shears, as you have a good chance of tweaking the sheet metal. You're better off making a cardboard mockup version of your piece at exactly the shape you need, then bring that along with the piece back to the metal shop and have them file/grind it in a way that won't crease the metal.

I've been reamed on Gear Talk for being messy. I swap pedals out pretty frequently for different gigs depending on what tones I need and I'd rather learn the tunes for the gig than route cables and make it look pretty. Gets the job done, all that matters IMO.

Yeah I mean the mussels were sweet and delicious so I seriously doubted that. Could be totally unrelated too because I didn't feel bad.

I also feel like mussels aren't given enough credit amongst my circle of friends. Its relatively cheap and really great drinking food. Clearly, I need to find better friends.

Agreed. Moules frites are my favourite bar food, but they're also classy enough to be served in gussied up ways. Mussels rule we should all eat more of them.

It's great. It's a clone of a Mad Professor Deep Blue. I use it mostly as low level ambient droning and for the few times I've needed a delay that can oscillate. The Timeline oscillates but it doesn't really get that analog clipping when you really slam the repeats, and it's usually set to something else.

I love mussels. They're cheap as gently caress here, they're available year round, and they're just protein. Wonderful. Hardshell clams, too. I'd never had any of that stuff before I moved north. Now imagining living without fresh seafood, I'm just -- ugh, why bother?

Yup, do this, shears will be nothing but trouble and a dremel is a good tool it can be really tough to cut that edge and have it look finish-grade with one.

So i take it the blower is mounted outside mindphlux? I have an under-draw system on my jenn-air and it does ok (it kinda pulls the flame away actually) but a real hood would perform better and actually look good.

Asking the shop is a good default approach. Depending on what it looks like it might or might not be a lot of additional work for them so it might or might not be something they'll throw in as lagniappe. If they're a CNC-heavy shop they might be less willing/able to tweak sheet metal that's already been bent. But it's worth a shot. Worst case you could probably talk them into a deal on a new piece and them taking the fuckup as scrap. Depends on the shop.

A cardboard mockup is good, but better would be to find out what formats the shop takes (e.g. a CAD file or SVG or whatever) and giving them that. If you've already handed them plans before you might have a better feel for how they do things and it might not matter.

That all aside, if it was me and I had to make the changes myself I'd use, in declining order of preference: a nibbler; a pair of electric shears; a throatless shear; hand tools. You probably don't have any of the first three, but depending on where you are you might be able to rent them (either checking them out from a home improvement place or taking the piece to a DIY coop or whatever the gently caress).

If you're stuck using hand tools, tin snips would be at the bottom of the list for work on a completed piece because you're pretty much guaranteed to distort the metal along the edge. If you have a Dremel or a Rotozip or the moral equivalent I'd use it with a heavy duty cutoff wheel. Or rather a box of them, because you'll probably go through them pretty quick doing real work with them. You can save yourself some touchup work by clamping some scrap lumber along the line of the cut---this will keep you from getting crazy and cutting outside the line, and help prevent some bending along the edge. If it's really thin gauge (you said it's just to conceal the ductwork, so it's not a structural member) you can put some friction tape along the line of the cut, both sides, so you're basically cutting down the centre line of the tape when you're doing the work. The tape will help minimise spalling if it's very light gauge.

In any case, if you're doing the work yourself for gently caress's sake get a bunch of scrap metal of the same gauge as you'll be working on and do a shitload of practice cuts until you're consistently happy with the quality of the result you'll be getting. For gently caress's sake don't practice on the work piece.
