Building a bell shaped curved hood vent

Our method of building a custom decorative hood vent cover.

[@nailbndr9869]

Nice work, mine are constructed almost the same but my last veneer on the face is a 1/16" veneer, helps hide the raw edge. Works good for stained hoods too.

Rad stuff. This is a good way of building up that curve, and strengthening it. Kinda want to make a bell shaped skateboard obstacle now.

larry thomas Thanks Larry, you, lots of glue and staples 👌. A bell shaped skateboard obstacle would be awesome!!

[@Toughmanpaws]

Man I'm having to build one this morning for the first time. Thing that's worrying me is how to come up with my curves. Hopefully you give some insight lol

Nice shop! Fantastic work.

[@FrankBuilds]

sanchezfrank Thanks Frank! It’s a pain to keep up though 🤣

[@pablorosas5781]

I'm about to do that one this week!!

[@min2oly]

Nice work!

Thanks! About to post a beam making video!

how do you hide raw edges if you plan on staining it?

[@Theuniverseisstrange]

Do you still have raw 1/4” edges showing on the miter? Bondo and sanding then paint should take care of it right?

[@CanopyUnlimited]

The edges were still showing, we did add bondo and sanded it down since it was a paint top. Couldn’t tell after a couple of coats of primer and sanding in between 👌

[@Theuniverseisstrange]

I’m building one for a customer right now.

Freedom lover Nice!

[@pf5658]

Nice job but unfortunately I had to watch it muted because the music was annoying AF. Still gave you a like though.

On 5:16 what is the name of the tool you used?

[@CanopyUnlimited]

What’s up! It’s just a Makita cordless router with a flush bit. It has a bearing on the end that rides along a bottom surface. Easy to use

[@martin1b]

Looks nice! Getting ready to build one of these. Is it necessary to have 2 layers of 1/4 plywood? What type of plywood is that? Also what do you do to seal the end grain on the edges for paint? Also, how do gain access (ie: hooking up vent pipe or unplug?)

So you are concerned about your hearing but not your vision?

[@ericmendez8722]

A lot of these guys do nice hoods but I don’t think half of them will be able to fit a blower in them.. good job though

[@CanopyUnlimited]

Eric Mendez Thanks Eric, definitely happy with this approach, the install was flawless. 👌

[@Theuniverseisstrange]

The blower goes in the attic

[@ericmendez8722]

Freedom lover The ones I’ve installed the blower is connected to the grill vent along with light and blower buttons, not sure how the blower is in the attic, but alright.
