How To - Carbon Filter

[vtguitar88]

Hey this looks awesome, I will try to build this. My question is about where and how to get the supplies. I'm good as far as the chicken wire, carbon, and panty hose (hehe) but I have no idea about the end caps, reducers, and screw clamps. Is this something where I could walk into my hardware store and say, hey I need a reducer, and they'd point me to the right product? It seems like you'd have to have more specifics but I have no idea what these things actually are. Thanks for any help, sorry if this sounds retarded...

You should be able to get all you need at a hardware store or lowes and home depot. And yes and they should point you in the right direction. Just ask for the parts as they are described.

ok thanks, yea i was able to google the end caps and reducers and find those online, but I couldn't find anything online similar to the screw clamp by googling 'screw clamp' or 'screw fastener.' Is there some other name these might be called by, just so I know better what to ask for? In my experience the people who work at my hardware store in town are usually pretty clueless about anything I might think to ask for, even with the right name! So something I don't know about seems pretty doubtful... Thanks again!

Your welcome. The clamps would be for ductwork. Like a vent hose. It can also be called a hose clamp. But that is for smaller sizes mostly. For these it should be called a duct clamp.Here's one, and they are a good place to buy from. Quick shipping too.
