Hi,
I wish to solder in a room that hs no windows going externally...their are windows but only to internal.
But it also has a ~12cm diam metal pipe sticking out of the roof by some 15cm.....so if somehow i can strap a tube to this, and put a fan in the tube so that i can extract solder smoke, then it will be OK.
Do you know of any means of doing this?
The bottom of the metal tube is some 6 foot above floor level.
The idea would be to have the soldering work table below the metal tube thing, and the fan to duct the smoke away up it.

(The room is approx 2 metres by 5 metres by 3 metres high)
 
You can get small desktop extractors which have filters in them. Not expensive. Worth considering maybe?
 
If money is no object, something along these lines:


I did some work at a Toshiba factory many years ago, they had a centrally 'plumbed' extraction system that all the soldering irons were connected to. They had to employ someone to go round swapping out and cleaning all the extraction pipes on the irons as the fumes would condense inside them, reducing airflow over time.

I agree, tip extraction is the best solution. Depends how much soldering is being done i suppose.
