im ready to build, is this a good design?

im thinking the wood around the work area will keep me within the laminar flow.
the only problem i see is that once i build it i won't be able to get it out of the room
im not totally set on a work room yet so i was hoping to make it moveable somehow.
Im considering making the flowhood part detach from the back blower part but thats all gotta be airtight right?
I dunno.....throw some idea's at me?

ok i found out how to make that design more portal for my needs.
that square box/work space infront of the filter, im going to put a hindge on all the sides so it folds up and will fit through doors.
however i been going through this in my head and I can't determine if this will cause me contams or not.
will having a gap where the wood touches, and where it touches near the filter....cause contams to get sucked into the airstream?

well i don't wanna make a new thread so anyways here's an update.
i do not like wood now.
I got glued aspin pine, as i was making my cuts they would slide to the ground but apparently they are very fragile and some broke.
anyways ive worked on it all for about 3 days and im very tired and fatigued, its really crappy trying to build things on the floor.
some how i goofed up and my hepa filter did not end up flush with the wood so i had some big gaps that i had to fill with silicone. Same thing happened with my wood box, i even used a circular saw to cut it.
so im hoping it doesn't look to crappy in the end, this was alot more work than i thought it would be.
and when your on a budget i can't tell you what it feels like when you put a screw into a freshly cut piece of wood and it breaks off a chunk even after you predrilled the whole
