ClareWentzel Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 It is a nice looking area, well laid out. It looks like you could have two or three projects going at the same time. Please explain your paint booth. I can't seem to find one in the third photo. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 That's a masterful looking man cave! I could see spending many relaxing, satisfying hours in there......right up til the time you open a box and start building something! :P Congrats on the new(er) digs!

wedfactory Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I have a brick house. That means that the exterior walls are thicker than most homes without brick. This leaves the windows set quite a way back from the wall. I placed the work area in front of the window and had 4" of space between the bench edge and window. So I built a vent box out of foam core that would fit in that space. In the section below you can see what I did. The vent box is build from foamcore taped with blue painters tape. The two small fans are taped to the face of the vent that faces the window and blows the air out through the window (when I remember to open it ) The total coat was about $40. I have also attached a surge protector to the underside of the bench and plugged in the fans, light and compressor to it. So when I want to paint I just hit the on/off switch on the surge protector and the whole bench powers up. Here are some close up photos of the vent box.. I purposely built the open about 2 inches higher than the bench top to prevent anything rolling into the vent. the tassels are there from when I first built it to test the suction power. It gets rid of most of the fumes when I am working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClareWentzel Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Ah-Ha!!! Well done. I like the looks of the paint booth. One thing that you might want to add, if you don't have it, is to tape a small filter in front of the fan. You will be amazed how much paint it will collect. Good luck with your new set-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
