homemade spray booth?

I have

its like under $40. if you want sheetmetal one it costs a bit more

just nail a bunch of wood together, drill a huge hole in the bottem witha hole saw, and stuff a fan in there. for sheetmetal, cut out the pattern, then bend, and arc weld.

Hello chap
I made one of 73*73*70 cm ( W*D*H) some years ago. I installed a two speed kitchen extractor ( the one that goes over the gas stove) plus 4 100watt daylight bulbs which give light and heat, with a dimmer. The fumes are extracted outside with a plastic hose around 11 cm of diameter. I had put a motorized turning table but I discarded it some time ago because I want to install a motorized 2 axle tilting and turning table I am currently designing. It was much more designing and woodworking than money spending but you could consider that its weakness comes from its construction as it is made of wood, so in the absolute it could catch fire. I also put a twin display ( interior/exterior) digital thermometer and a little hygrometer on the rotating motor near the turning table, as near as possible to models ( what models ? I only built tools )
It was a lot of fun but wait for other advices about security.
Hope this will help you.

thanks alot torio and 1337 for the advice im glad i got a quick resonse from you guys!

any time

You're welcome, chap

I made a homemade one out of 1" X 2"'s, and some cheap Sheet metal from Home Depot.....then I put in two flourescent lights (with 2 bulbs each), and a high volume fan in the rear for suction....the type used in the bathrooms....with a filter in front of it to catch the solids...has it's own socket, light switch, and 4 opening doors......it's ugly as hell, but it works awesome. I may scale it down in the future, as I built it large enough to handle a couple 1/32 kits at a time. The most expensive part was the fan ($90.00 brand new) and the lights ($30.00 a pop new).....but you can find most of that stuff used. I'm like Torio, as I have more fun designing things, and trying to make the "ultimate" bench.....next on my plate......a "drying box"!!! Hehehehe.....I have a lot of ideas for that one!!!

Hmmm.... i can get some el-cheapo sheetmetal, then those snips... its getting late, so i gotta go sleep

I have the perfect painting booth. It is about 20'X10'X8'. Two walls are made of brick. One wall with a window, and the other wall has a door. It has perfect if not outstanding ventalization. And the best part it didn't cost me anything. it was already built onto my house when I bought it. My wife doesn't call it a painting booth (cuz she doesn't know what she is talking about), she calls it a porch.

Aaah ,wait on until she realises you have the only "Cammo" porch in the whole street nay neighbourhood ooooo your'e going to catch it [ :)]

One thing to be careful about when building a spray booth is the type of fumes you're generating. Acrylic (water-based) paint fumes are not flammable, so using a bathroom fan is generally safe, but solvent-based enamels have fumes that could be ignited by sparks from the fan motor. I've seen in other forums recommendations for marine fans, used to vent engine compartments on small boats, etc. Price of the fans started at around $30, and the capacity was much higher than the equivalently priced bathroom fans.

why not just use like a chain drive?
