Hello everyone!

I just finished my paint booth. I thought I might post a few pics while I take a break. I don't even think it was dry yet before I put it together. I think if came out pretty good though, and it matches the desk I built. I'll be starting the modeling room in about a week and a half just after I finish a few more projects. I'll keep everyone posted.





Thanks,
-Jay-

Here are a few pics of the desk I built again.







Thanks,

Very nice job on the paint booth. These babies are definitely useful, especially if you air brush alot indoors. Ive resorted to backing my car onto the driveway while i create a quick make shift spray corner. The garage door remains open throughout the whole air brush process. Thats the only way i know how to keep the air around at a healthy level without having a paint booth.

Hi Jay

I have to admit I'm rather jealous of both your spray booth and desk! I've got a desk of sorts - but your organiser at the back is great!

Of course, I could make better use of the space I've got if I could only learn to put things away when I've finished with them...

All the best

Rowan

Thanks for all the compliments everybody. It was alot of work. I think all together I spent 5 weeks working on everything. I also built some nice glass shelves with nice wood shelf brackets. I can't wait to start on the room itself. All the wood molding is stained and ready to be cut. I just have to start painting. Too bad I have to paint the basement before I start

Thanks
-Jay-

Hy Jay,
really a nice work.

Does your paint booth have an exhaust?
In the back is a kind of window with a filter, but cannot see the exhaust fitting.
Here, we adapt computer ventilators to remove the paint dusk.

Your desk is wonderful too, but the last time I drunk beer while assembling a 737.... :-) :-) :-)

IIRC his uses a 20" box fan and it's ONLY meant for Acrylics, As it's not a brushless motor like Muffin (computer) fans. the one I built for myself has a pair of 6" Brushless muffin type fans in it......
