That pencil idea is absolutely hilariously brilliant. Im always amazed at the ingenuity of people when they have the idea like "Hey, I'll just run this whole pencil through the friggin table saw!" Awesome.
If this hood was your first, I'm super impressed. I'm just about to make a very large hood for our new kitchen and was very lucky to come across your build. Well done and amazing hood. Thank you so much.
Wow! Wonderful build, and thanks for taking us along, I have seen and built a few of my own, but it is always nice to see the process from another perspective on a intricate style. Great job!
Absolutely beautiful and well-built. Is it weird, that I got more excited when I noticed all that wood, then I do at the prospect of one day bumping into my celebrity crush?
I didn't do a video on the installation. We hung the hood on a cleat and then secured to the wall. the insert was installed and once installed the duct work was completed from the outside
Thinking of doing something similar for just a 30" range with just a curve on the front, not the sides. Definitely like the look of this though! Great job!
I have installed cabinets with dozens of different kinds of exhaust hoods. The problem I run into most is accessing the connection at the top of the motor to the duct and electrical connection. The inspector wants to ensure the duct is mechanically fastened and that the duct is sealed at each joint with metal tape. Also, for future maintenance, it is helpful to have access above the hood. For this reason I like to have a removable panel or have the entire upper enclosure slide on and off. The other issue is using corbels, which, depending on the range specifications often can't be installed until after the inspection because of clearance problems.
That's a fair point. So far, all of the hoods I've built I also installed and installed the vent and duct work so I had control over the entire process. However, that's not the case for our current project so I will be incorporating a removable panel.
@CarpentryPlus can I ask how you manage to make a sealed connection between fan and tin inside the unit after its up? Im building a wood hoodfan cover shortly and it would obviously be easier to build without an access panel but I'm not sure how it would work. Amazing work btw
I’m planning to build a similar hood. But I think I’ll build the lower portion and attach it to a 2x frame mounted on the wall then build the curved section to slide into place so it’s removable. Just have to work out the details
So peaceful to watch u build this beautiful peace of art. I have 2 question for you. Did you make some French cleats to hang it?. Also, would you know the name of the vent used on this project. I appreciate the information. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback. Yes we used French cleats to hang the hood. Unfortunately don’t remember the name brand of the insert as the client purchased the vent.
Yeah in the video it is, luckily I noticed it before it went into finishing. otherwise that would not have been a fun thing to fix during installation. 18k views and you're the first person to notice.
@@CarpentryPlus lol, that hood would of fallen so fast :) truth be told, I did the same thing on a headboard a few yrs ago my 1st time doing a french-cleat. About to tackle this hood for my wife, a 48", little nervous, its soo dang heavy. not doing a sloped hood, just a straight up Shaker/Arts/crafts look. gr8 job btw
I suppose 1/4” would have been fine but everything else was 3/4” so that was part of it. Also I felt like multiple layers would reinforce the corners better.
You did an awesome job on that hood!! I'm considering building one for my kitchen. I'm not sure how to install a system like this once the curved area is finished. Are you able to run screws into opening underneath before the mechanical portion of hood is installed?
So how do you install this? If you bring it to the kitchen and hang it on the wall then put the range hood in how do you hook up the blower vent? Do you have access?
We’ve always installed the hood and the vent ourselves. They direct vent out the wall so we’ll have our hole cut in the wall, install the hood, attach the 8” flex duct to the vent, install install the vent in the hood and then from the outside we’ll reach in and pull the flex duct out and make our exterior connections.
@@CarpentryPlus hey its gm. I was asking you about a price. Not sure if this way will work. If not I will see if I can email you some how. Thank you for the reply
The installation of the range hood 'insert' is a case by case basis. we usually install the hood and the insert so we can custom design the hood around the installation and the process. Generally, our hoods vent to the outside wall, so we'll cut the hole in the wall, install the hood, install the insert with duct attached and then reach in from the outside to pull the duct out and button up the outside. Another option would be to build the hood in two sections.
Its a great video, but you never mentioned why you need to cut against the grain of plywood "skin of the hood" to accomplish that beautiful curve on the hood, Plywood bends better against the grain, rather then trying to bend with the grain. This is very important to know when someone is building a hood
You know the word ply means layer and that plywood is made up of layers. Each layer alternating in grain direction with the thinnest of this layers being the outside skin. This particular plywood had an mdf core with thin layers of veneer on the face and back. With it being only 1/4” thick it bends pretty easy in both directions. So, I didn’t mention it because I didn’t think it was that relevant.
Came out great! Kept the top band off until install in case you had to do some scribing to the ceiling.
The hood looks absolutely amazing. It’s not pretty good. It’s absolutely amazing.
Thanks!
This gives me a little more confidence to build my own! I've built a few things, but never anything with those curves! Thanks a bunch!
Good luck with your project!
@@CarpentryPlus Thank you, and also you did a fantastic job. One of the prettiest hood vent covers I've seen!
Just absolutely perfect video and powerful explanation of details. Keep up the Great Work!!!
Thank you!
I feel extremely confident after watching this video, I can do this!!
Good luck!!
From a cabinet guy who builds a few hoods a month, I learned your way from your video and I like it! Good job!
That’s awesome. Thanks for the feedback, glad you found the video useful.
That pencil idea is absolutely hilariously brilliant. Im always amazed at the ingenuity of people when they have the idea like "Hey, I'll just run this whole pencil through the friggin table saw!" Awesome.
Thanks I’m pretty impressed with myself too! 😂😂
Just want i was looking for. Great job in thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the feedback. Good luck with your project!
Thanks man for sharing your artwork 💯👍👊
Thanks for watching!
You killed this build. I learn so much from you thanks for documenting this
I appreciate it Mark.
If this hood was your first, I'm super impressed. I'm just about to make a very large hood for our new kitchen and was very lucky to come across your build. Well done and amazing hood. Thank you so much.
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. We’ve built a couple hoods before this one but this was our first curved hood.
Great job. I enjoyed watching a master craftsman do his jod with pride
Lucky homeowners. This range hood looks killer. It would’ve taken me a week just to figure out the skeleton. Beautifully done!
There was a lot of thought and planning that took place before I began.
Wow! Beautiful!!!
Thank You!
This is a killer, just awesome video
Thanks for the feedback!
This was awesome thank you I’m building one for a client and trying to figure out the most efficient way. Super helpful
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!
You are very good at what you do. So nice to see someone do a top notch job!
I appreciate that!
Looks amazing and some great tips. That sounds for the video.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!
Wow that came out amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for following along!
I worked at a custom cabinet plant and we used 3/8 bending luan to make our curved wood hood tops.
I e never used any bending plywood but I may ask my supplier about it if I ever build another one.
Great build! God bless!
Wow beautiful job and great tips! A ton of work. Bet the customer is happy
They were happy, which makes it all worth it.
Stunning. Well done!
Great job mate.
Thanks!
awesome video ! Getting Ready to make one myself for a 48” extractor . Just subscribed
Good Luck!!
Wow! Wonderful build, and thanks for taking us along, I have seen and built a few of my own, but it is always nice to see the process from another perspective on a intricate style. Great job!
Thanks for the feedback. I think it went pretty well for my first one.
@@CarpentryPlus More than pretty well! You look like a seasoned hood builder, I can't wait to see the next one.
Really came out beautiful
Thanks I’m pleased with how it turned out.
Good job, looks top class
This is so beautiful’
THank you!
This was very informative and fun to watch 👍 thanks!
Thanks for the feedback!!
Thanks for all the shots and angles. Very informative. Sub
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the feedback
Very nicely done, this is a project I very much would like to try sometime!
It’s was a very cool build!
Great video! Why the multiple layers for the curved part? Were you aiming for a specific thickness?
Thanks. I usually use 3/4” plywood for our cabinetry. The 1/4” ply was easier to bend so we layered it to get the 3/4” thickness
Absolutely beautiful and well-built. Is it weird, that I got more excited when I noticed all that wood, then I do at the prospect of one day bumping into my celebrity crush?
Thanks, and yes that's weird! lol
Great job! God bless!
Thank you!
Could I possibly purchase your plans for that build?
I’m sorry but I don’t have plans available for this build.
How was this actually installed? How was it attached to the wall in the kitchen? Very nice video. Is there a video of the installation?
I didn't do a video on the installation. We hung the hood on a cleat and then secured to the wall. the insert was installed and once installed the duct work was completed from the outside
Thank you very much !
No problem!
Very helpful, thank you.
Thank you
Really Nice!
Man that is nice
Man how’d you hook up the vent pipe?
We hooked it up from the outside.
Absolutely loved this video. Would you happen to remember the radius for the curved sides?
Thanks for the feedback. I don’t remember exactly but I think it was in the 36” range.
Thanks!
Well done. Do you have an install video?
no, sorry I didn't get a video of the install
Thinking of doing something similar for just a 30" range with just a curve on the front, not the sides. Definitely like the look of this though! Great job!
I would have painted the top piece white! Absolutely gorgeous though
White would have looked good too. The gray matches the island though.

Thank you for your reply. fortunately I will have to replicate this peace of art. My wife is completely in love with it
You said you used 1/4” maple with a mdf core? Where did you get it? Absolutely great video!
Thanks for the feedback. I get the 1/4” maple with mdf core from
Menards.
one of the best videos on making a range hood IMO, however, your cleat is wrong, its backwards
Yeah in the video it is, luckily I noticed it before it went into finishing. otherwise that would not have been a fun thing to fix during installation. 18k views and you're the first person to notice.

Nice job. Curious.. why did you go 3 ply of 1/4” on the curved panels vs just a single ply?
I suppose 1/4” would have been fine but everything else was 3/4” so that was part of it. Also I felt like multiple layers would reinforce the corners better.
@@CarpentryPlus makes sense! Just curious. Nice work. Enjoying your videos.
About to build something similar to this... was wondering how much you charged for this build? Was wondering what I should charge The customer
Thanks for reaching out. I messaged you.

@@CarpentryPlus ok I get it now. Thank you for the tip. Nice job.
Why 3 layers of the 1/4 inch plywood?
Might not have been necessary but I wanted 3/4” thickness but didn’t figure I’d get 3/4” plywood to flex.
Why did you want it to be ¾ inch thick? I do like the idea of using 3 pieces of ¼ in plywood. Just looking for your rationale.
Beautiful. Do you have plans to share? Thanks
Thanks, we do not have plans available, just this video.
@@CarpentryPlus Great video! Thanks.
What does something like that cost?
Hello, we don't usually publicly discuss pricing but if you'll shoot me a dm or an email I'd be happy to discuss the cost of a project like this one.
@@CarpentryPlus hey its gm. I was asking you about a price. Not sure if this way will work. If not I will see if I can email you some how. Thank you for the reply
I got my handyman to do thsi for a couple hundred lol, one day job
😃
😂😂would love to see pics of how it turned out, lol
Once installed how do you hook up the duct, and install the range hood, its more like a cover for a range hood.
The installation of the range hood 'insert' is a case by case basis. we usually install the hood and the insert so we can custom design the hood around the installation and the process. Generally, our hoods vent to the outside wall, so we'll cut the hole in the wall, install the hood, install the insert with duct attached and then reach in from the outside to pull the duct out and button up the outside.
