| Subject: | Building a Home-made Spray Booth... Your Opinion |  |
| Date: | Mar 9, 2008 |
| From: | Michael Powers | |
I am thinking about putting together a portable spray booth using supplies easily purchased at my local Home Building Supply Store. I thought about all the things that I wanted in such a booth...
1. A reasonable spray area
2. Portability
3. Over spray control
4. Safety and environmental friendliness
5. Economy
6. It needed to look cool.
I am primarily an acrylic painter so I think the materials I have chosen will do the trick. I thought I could publish the drawings and make them available via email as .pdf. I will produce a materials list and some construction photos and Illustrations along the way. With the cost of Spray booths being quite high I thought some of you do-it-your selfers might be interested. Most all the drawings are done and I am going to start building it for myself anyway so I thought I might share the experience. I did take into account various "services" provided by most DIY centers (like cutting plywood.) You will need some shop tools. I will try to demonstrate alternative construction techniques If I think my preferred methods requires speciallized or expensive shop tools.
So would this be enough of a value, based on the attached drawing, to be expend the effort? |
