Wow! I guess it takes a dork to know a dork! Thanks for the positive feedback! I still use it and it works fine!

Thank you! It was a fun, learning, project! Love your carvings!

I wish I’d videoed the build, but I have a full parts list and process and photo details in the description..

You are most welcome!

Hi there! The filters last a very long time, depending on use, of course. The filters work quite well. Cheers!

@@crustyfab I like the idea, but just thinking with the object directly in front of filter, it'll be impossible to not get filter coated. Air wont penetrate through dried paint obviously. I may try it with a larger spraying area somehow where object isn't in line with filter. Thanks for info!

@@annharsin7155 please let me know how your project goes, I’m always interested in feedback and improvements!!

@@annharsin7155 commercial airbrush booths are made this way as well, with the filter right in front.

@@CFster Do you happen to have a link?

Thanks for the kind words! Sounds like you had the setup just the way you liked! It’s frustrating when you can’t find replacements - I’m an old fart myself and I’ve saved just about every nut, bolt, etc. and find a use for a lot of it. Good luck on your re-work!!

@@crustyfab I was given a portable spray booth to test for an Australian importer. About $140 (Aus) ... my retirement is the US VA (Vietnam). If you were doing something small like fishing lures or small models.. it works, but with your idea, you could easily expand the work station size ... again, very nice idea. I moved here to Sydney teaching airbrush techniques to illustrators in 1979 after 9 years with the Army ... Free health care and $6.00 for most medical scripts. Be Safe...

@@airbrushken5339 first, thank you for your service! Do you have any photos you can share of your work?

I’m sure yours works great!!

Hi there! I’m not exactly sure what you mean. I’m using the cleaner pot “as is”.

Yes, the fan is mounted to the bottom of the second tote so the exhaust passes out the bottom.

Glad it was helpful!

So glad you have found this to be useful! Let me know if you make any improvements. Can’t wait to see your WIP!!

It actually works quite well. I’m a woodcarver so I use it when I have to stain or paint my work. In fact the filter needs to be changed and I’m amazed at how much overspray it snagged!

@@crustyfab Thanks for the reply. I forgot to ask you how you attached the filter to the lid? I'm probably going to make one of these is why I'm asking. I was also thinking about putting the filter in the bottom of the big one.

@@davesanders7893 hi Sorry for the long delay! i.imgur.com/iHjUEY8.jpg - Attach Tub to Lid. I used weather seal tape between the tub and lid and used small self tapping screws to attach tub to lid.

I’ve updated the description with a pets list and instructions/photos.

Hi Chris - here is the parts list. I have detailed instructions with photos, but can’t see a way post them on KZbin - I’m hoping to solve that. In the meantime, I used a flexible “foil” dryer exhaust hose which comes off the back and I direct out the window. Hope this helps!

All parts were purchased at either Home Depot or Lowe’s, and honestly, it took more time to find the right parts than to build it! Total Cost $92 Parts - Plastic tub #1 and lid - This will make up the air chamber and where the fan will be mounted. - Hefty 34 quart * 23.98 w x 16.18 d x 6.6 h * $9.98 - Plastic tub #2 and lid - This will make up the painting chamber itself. The bottom will be cut out and will be attached to the lid of tub #1 and will house the filter. - Hefty 66 quart - 23.98 w x 16.18 d x 13.05 h - $11.98 - Bathroom Ceiling Fan - 50 CFM - $14.97 - Furnace filter - 14x20 - $11.97 - Electric replacement cord - 14 Gauge - I did not install switch, but wish I had - $14.68 - Exhaust tubing - 3”x8’ flex foil (a bit too fragile, try to find in plastic) - Screws, bolts, insulting tape, clamps etc. - $16.30

Hi Bob - thanks for your interest! Good luck on your build, let me know how you make out, improvements, etc. I’ve been using this now for a couple of years and it’s still working out nicely. I added a strip of LED lights and I would suggest incorporating an on/off switch. Here are my notes. I have detailed instructions with photos but not sure if that can be loaded here. I built this Airbrush Spray Booth from easily found parts and about 1 - 2 hours of build time. I like that the booth self-stores along with the other related items; ie. airbrush, air hose, lazy Susan, etc. All parts were purchased at either Home Depot or Lowe’s, and honestly, it took more time to find the right parts than to build it!

@@crustyfab John, Can you tell me what size those two tubs are that you used? Thanks.

@@olezippi I listed all the parts in my previous reply to you ... did it get to you?

@@crustyfab I see it now. Thanks
