Ok, you guys were definitely right with the need for ventilation. A hugh oversight on my part.

Just bought a 4" in-line fan that moves 90 cubic feet of air a minute ($30). This fan is supposed to by very quiet. I also bought some 4" elbows ducts with the idea of using them for a light trap (<$10).

I was thinking about somehow hanging/installing the ducting inside the cabinet toward the top. My problem with this ventilation system at this point - other than how to hang it in a study way - is how to get a 4" hole in the top of my cabinet. I don't have a scroll saw.

On the odor control side, I noticed some odor control/air fresheners at Home Depot while I was there buying the above items. They were about $80 for an inexpensive -loud- unit. Most of these systems use a HEPA filter with an activated carbon filter overlaid on top. My thought - why not DIY it with a small vacuum cleaner HEPA with some activated carbon filter material on top attached to the opening of my duct in-line fan ventilation system? Or just layered activated carbon material?

Anyone try this? Any suggestions out there?
