first and formost, the design of this filter came from an old OG thread done by Son is Shining, and i'm building it from memory, so all thanks go out to him.
that said, here we go. i'm building this one to fit a 6" vortex, but it can be made bigger or smaller, depending on your needs. we'll need to gather up the parts:
1 - 6" to 7" reducer
1 - 6" duct cap
1 - 7" duct cap
1 - 5' roll of 1/4" hardware cloth
2 - 7" hose clamps
1 - 6" piece of 6" (duct) pipe
1 - pair panty hose
carbon (from pet store)
poly "quilt filler" (from craft store)
sheet metal screws
