Welder Evac System

Has anyone ever fabricated a home-made fume evacuation system for use when welding? I checked out Lincoln units but there is no way I can afford to spend over $1000. I was thinking of a squirrel cage and tubing to run outside of the garage but I need this to be effective since I will be closed in for awhile (North Dakota winters-Brrrrrrrr). If someone has and they don't mind, can you post how you did it, parts used, and maybe some pictures. Thanks in advance.

Dave
