You could also ask in rec.crafts.metalworking to see if anyone has done the
same already...
Not sure where else to send you.

Know a good travel agent? I need one. Really.

Before you get too deep in "tin bending",you might want to look at one of
the Borgs,in the Heating/Ac section for some of their "ducts". You might be
amazed at what you can find and with a little "snipping", modify one to fit
your needs. I made a hood for my router table and a scoop for a pick-up for
a lawn leaf vacuum from an electric leaf blower. Crude maybe, but they both
worked!

Some good reference material is available @ www.lindsaybks.com. I would
suggest _Tinplate Work_ a Lindsay reprint and _Working Sheet Metal_ by Dave
Gingery. The Gingery book has VERY basic stuff on how to fabricate your
sheet metal tools and etc.
