nice hood! i like the idea of using the bolts to hold the sash at different heights very much! how powerful is it? what is the fan you are using?

Sigh.. Beautifull!  Indeed, it's a cleevr idea the bolts.
I was thinking of using a screw-in bolt in the inner guide, so that the sash can be blocked at any hight with the srews "pushing" it against the other
side on the inner guide... Although I'm scared it might damage after a while, or loose it's grip (don't want to get my head choppe doff by my sash
one day ).
I take it the hood is entirely home-made? you also did one hell of a job... I envy you guys.

You should never have your head in the hood to begin with... kind of defeats the purpose.

Indeed But on some occasions you do (filling the solvent trap with LN, moving
that clamp near the bottom, getting that bloody little stopcock that bouced to the corner of the hood, ..) , and I'm sure that's the moment the sash
would coose to fall down

I find myself sticking my head into my hood when setting up equipment, removing equipment, and cleaning.

magpie what kind of suction do you have in your fumehood as I noticed that my fumehood won't make a tissue being sucked in at the bottom like you
mentioned.

DNA: My fan pulls about 450 cubic feet/min at about 0.750"H2O pressure drop. My ducting is 8" (20cm) diameter. I have 2 baffles that are mounted
5cm in from the back of the hood. The upper baffle is bent to deflect the air up to the duct inlet. This is based on designs I noted on the websites
of commercial hood manufacturers.

Finally I got to make some pictures of my lab.
Here below the fumehood.
It is 100cm width and 50cm deep and 100cm high.
There is still going to be a metal tray in the bottom which covers like the whole bottom for spilages.
The sash is 50cmx100cm and is movable up and down (ofcourse) and will stay at its place by the counter weight which can be seen at the back threw the
polycarbonate glass.
Another 50x100cm piece of polycarbonate is mounted to the front which is not movable.
Improvment would be to buy a slideable window which can be mounted to the front.
At the moment the fan is unsufficient as it takes 88m3/h but it is sparkless!
More pictures of the rotary evaporator etc will follow.
Here my glassware as far is it fitted on the picture:

Thank you,
And yeah these bags are filled with sand and are indeed the counter-weights.

He he my time to show off my my latest aquisitions:
40 year old Buchi Rotavap, in perfect condition! 50 euros!
And a 1967 single pan mechanical beam mettler scale! Also in perfect condition, and also for 50euros!
Unfortuanly, these two precious items won't be used right now... but it was such a good occasion that I just couldn't not buy them... I've been
dreaming of a rotavap for years, and only expected to get one after several years of savings...
For any frenchies living in the south, there is a second Buchi Rotavap for sale routhly at the same price, but withotu the water bath. A bit dusty,
but in excellent conditions and no cracks whatsoever. PM me if you are interested! (No shipment though, that would be risky and very expensive)

Can you tell me what Ozonolabs is? Is it a company? Or are you just an individual calling yourself Ozonelabs so you can buy at the big companies ?

Your lab is very impressive, very professional! I hope one day I will have a similar place

Indeed, very impressive.
I'm very jealous you have a lab partner. Is the lab at your home, or your partner's?

The lab developed from a friendship that was born through an imprompt discussion about chemistry. Both of us post on here, but the lab is at my
partners home.

I can really recommend this topic:

There are pictures here from a lot of labs, and there are some really nice ones.

Hello everyone!
Ozonelabs has new pictures of the lab as well as a few pictures of some of our reagents.
Not included-
Toxic Cabinet
Oxidising Agents
Organic Chlorinating Agents (PCl3 etc...)
Some Organic Chemicals (due to lack of bench space)
Precious Metals compounds
Gas Cylinders
Glassware.
What has been uploaded can be found here:
http://www.freewebs.com/ozonelabsinc/apps/photos/
We would very much like your collective opinions on our Laboratory as well as the new videos we have uploaded to Youtube.
Regards,
Ozonelabs
P.S.

Very nice!
How have you acquired all those chemicals? 
Is the large plastic bottle on the left in the picture 'caustics' hydrofluoric acid?

Jor-
The 3 large plastic bottles contain:
48% HF in a bottle, in a bottle in the large bottle
99% White Fuming Nitric Acid same stored as HF
35% Oleum in the large plastic container.
Everything is stored with the 2nd container packed with Na2CO3

Arrggghh. If I had a setup as nice as yours I don't think I could want anything else out of life! Maybe I'm just desperate after living so long with
basically *nothing* for a lab space.. Someday I will build one as nice as that. But I'm starting to get very afraid that by the time I get a chance
to, none of is will be available/possibe, if current trends continue..

although currently building my lab is in progress, i am glad to show my apparatus to everybody.
all apparatus or glasswares i bought are domestic products. because it's good enough for use and more significantly it is not expensive.
my rotary evaporator bought one month ago，easy to use, convenient for shipment as well as high quality.

water circulated vacuum pump,corrosion-proof , easy to maintain. it is useful for evaporate low boiling point solvents.
