heres what i did.
i went to wal mart and got the smallest hepa quaility room air purifier.
the holmes unit cost about $45-60.
cut a hole in the back of the box that fits the output of the filter unit into the box and the intake outside.
I put a plexiglass lid on it, and cut two arm holes in the side.
when you turn on the hepa, with the output on high, clean uncontaminated air is shoved out of the arm holes and any other small holes in the box. with a positive pressure in the box, its nearly impossible for contaminates to be introduced. i just wash my arms and hands real well, put on a pair of big dishwashing gloves, and go for it.
granted, $50 is a bit to shell out, but i havent seen a contaminate yet.
dont have a digital cam.

When you install the heppa filter to the back do you install it toward the bottom of the box or top? The reason I think this is important is that I don't think you want a breeze across your work area and the heppa filter puts out a lot of air. If you install the heppa toward the top the air at the level you are working in would not have the air blowing over it. right??
I'm in the process of building a glove box from plywood with a plexiglass viewing panel. I plan to put several coats of paint on the inside and to caulk all the seems. Am I on the right track? I'm just not sure about the output of the heppa directly on my work area.

I know this is stupid, but why not a flowhood?
a DIY project along these lines might be a bit more expensive, but why not now?

the output on mine is about halfway up the bacl of the box. the air is contaminate free assuming you havent contaminated it somehow or your filter is too old, its the same principal as a flowhood. but with a contained enviromant.

enter- theres no writeup in tmc or ggmm (2d edition) on how to constuct a glovebox, but there are a few pics. heres one to which i was referring in the Vendors/Gloveboxes thread you posted in vendors..
 ... see, the hard part is drilling the armholes and securing the plexi
the mushroom cultivator also has (in its appendix) a writeup on diy laminar flow hoods, which i wont scan and post but has been discussed in length at other times... with the proper equations and such for the blower, etc.
if you wanted, you could always try and make the glovebox yourself out of plexi (seal the edges with silicone or aquarium sealants)... but the hard part again would be the circular cuts in plexi for armholes... cutting plexi is tough. we have a local plexi/glass etc shop here, and they wouldnt do a job like that for us for under a certain amount (he woudnt say over the phone, but intimated it would be quite expensive and would take 2+ weeks... but they re also the only place around here that could ahve done it, so maybe thats why theyre expensive...)
you could make the whole thing out of plexi by sealin it together with silicone/aquarium sealants... except the armhole side, which could be ade of plywood (easier to cut and attach armhole thingys to) but you lose a bit of the field of vision within the box. but most work with them ona table, looking down, so the loss shouldnt be that bad. the plywood side could be attached with hinges, since thats the place where youd want to load stuff in and out of.
something premade? check out ebay and car repair places (that cater to car repairmen) for sand blasting boxes... theyre very similar to the sci supply design one, but of course not all see thru (but at 10% of the cost- they usu run about 80-100, and sometimes you can get free shipping). anchor supply hardware (has an online place too) has them, and often bundles a free ship/no sales tax thing. or a vendor could find a wholesaler to drop ship from- but then again, 100 is expensive for this hobby (comparitively) so i dont know if thered be interest in the prefabs
finally heres a link to the setup hongus & i came up with ... we decided on a closed air system and has worked without fail for us right up until we stopped cultivating. http://oscill8.homestead.com

Nice! I love illustrated teks. Wish I had of seen that before I built mine I wouldnt have got the foil vent tubing. One question though isnt the wood lid succeptable to contams? It might be good to paint the wood with some kind of latex paint to aid in cleaning. But if you said it worked than it might just be overkill. A few usefull things I found out: 1) plexiglass + hole saw = melting plexi/stinky room 2) cutting holes by hand in plexi can be a bitch if you dont have an appropriate saw. 3) Vinyl gloves are the worst fucking things in the world for use in a glovebox. They tear very easily and are difficult to get on/off if your hands get a little sweaty. Latex gloves are 100% better.

I remember seeing a picture of an ICQ's friends glove box. It was a acqarium that had a plastic bag (clear) taped over the top so that you could manage the equipment in side. I never heard details as to success. Why is it that people want to add fans, etc? Box's that seem to have no air exchange work just aswell.
