Build Your Own Spray Booth #3 - Assembly

[@winkfinkerstien1957]

Thank you! I appreciate the time you spent to share this!

[@PKWModelwerx]

Thanks for watching and the comment. Are you building a booth? Let me know how I can help you get across the finish(ing) line because a booth = productivity so well worth it!

[@johnhopkins6565]

To mount the plexiglass, try clear aquarium sealant.

[@PKWModelwerx]

Great idea! I will try that!

[@johnnemeth9266]

The plexiglass is a great idea, nice job!

[@PKWModelwerx]

I appreciate the view and the comment John. It's a great plan from ventworks. Be safe out there. Bob

Hi Bob, thank you for this video series. I'm getting into airbrushing, I have a couple of Harbor Freight specials to learn on. This series is going on my how to playlist.

[@PKWModelwerx]

Good luck! Not much to it in my view and there should be no problem with an off-brand airbrush. I use a bunch, from no-names to Iwata and see no real differences. But I've always sprayed solvent based paint so can't offer any tips if you are an acrylic guy. But thinning the paint is key. Thanks for watching!

[@steve87thpsap]

Looks really good. Surprised the top doesn’t come further forward. But real big blower for that booth, should pull lots of air. Good job.

[@BALD8BIL]

Bob It looks awesome!!!!! thank you for sharing with us like the Geico commercial says it's so easy a caveman can do it

[@PKWModelwerx]

Indeed! How's the layout coming? Not sure I've seen any postings from you in a while, although I could have missed something. Best, Bob

👍👍👍Nice booth man. How much air does that extraction fan pull ?

[@PKWModelwerx]

I believe it’s rated at 265 cubic feet per minute but, to be conservative, I used 180 in my safety calculations. There is some static pressure in the outlet hose so I wanted to take that into account. Surprisingly quiet and worth the price IMHO. Thanks for watching.

[@thomasenright5282]

The only way I would be able to do it is if I had the equipment and supplies you had to make yours, if I was to get all that stuff it would be cheaper to but the cheapest one on Amazon instead.

[@PKWModelwerx]

Absolutely cheaper ways to go. Safety is the question though. And life span of the system. Good luck with your painting, whatever way you go. I'll be adding some lights to the rig eventually and will have another video out about that.

[@sixstringslayaguitarman419]

Hi Bob, your booth turned out great! I'm building one as well with the same blower. I'm having trouble figuring out the exact kind of power cord on amazon I need to get. I see different amps, volts, etc. Do you have a specific link or kind of wire I need? Thanks for any help.

[@PKWModelwerx]

I'll paste the link to the one I used - a Stanley 31939. But I think any 15 amp cord with 14 gauge wire will be fine. Grounded (3 prong) of course. And I highly recommend an in-line switch. I think I'd use a paddle switch if I had to do it again. Good luck! Would love to see some pictures of your project! If the link doesn't work I think a search on "Stanley 31939" will get you there on Amazon just as well. smile.amazon.com/Stanley-31939-Grounded-3-Wire-Replacement/dp/B003OQVGP0/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n1_0?cv_ct_cx=stanley+31939&dchild=1&keywords=stanley+31939&pd_rd_i=B003OQVGP0&pd_rd_r=e2a7766f-8107-4c4e-b64c-8b60b369c8ad&pd_rd_w=pwPEH&pd_rd_wg=LXVXV&pf_rd_p=d8781cb2-590e-4599-9299-188f35162ede&pf_rd_r=Q52MCY4TJT9C46GGNXTX&psc=1&qid=1603718590&sr=1-1-791c2399-d602-4248-afbb-8a79de2d236f

[@sixstringslayaguitarman419]

@@PKWModelwerx Hi Bob, thanks so much! You are using the Dayton 6FHX9 correct? I notice its listed at 115 volt. The Stanley cord is listed at 125 volt? Does that matter? Thanks again!

[@PKWModelwerx]

@@sixstringslayaguitarman419 It shouldn't matter. Household current is no more than 120 volts, but can be as low as 110 based on line conditions. So the cord will handle 120. If the motor requires less than 120, there will be a resistor built into it to step down the voltage. I used the Dayton blower recommended by Ventworks, whatever model that is. I no longer recall the model number but if you need me to look back at my records, let me know.

[@sixstringslayaguitarman419]

@@PKWModelwerx Thanks! That explains it pretty well. I'll order the Stanley cord. If you used the blower that Vent works recommended then its the same Blower I'm going to be using. Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it!

[@KerleyExpress]

Looks great i like to guild one some day

[@PKWModelwerx]

Go for it! The fan is very quiet to my surprise. It's not a small project, but if you can build a layout you damn well can build this thing! Thanks for watching @Dwight Kerley! Best, Bob

[@cdgarrett1]

Where do I get a blower fan like yours?

[@PKWModelwerx]

I ordered mine mail order from Grainger and it was well-packaged. It's a heavy monster too! Good luck with your build. let me know via comments if I can help in any way. I use my booth several times a week and it's great. Highly recommend a switch. Plugging and unplugging would be a pain! Thanks for watching and the sub.

[@cdgarrett1]

PK & W RR is it called a wood stove blower fan?

How do you wire the blower?

[@PKWModelwerx]

Thanks for watching Victor. I've slept a few times since I did this project. I don't recall if there was any indicated polarity on the motor but there probably was to make sure it spins in the correct direction! If polarity was indicated (i.e. if there was a white and black wire from the motor, I attached the same color leads from the power cord. I bought a grounded power cord off Amazon, which has colored wires. I used wire nuts to connect the power cord to the motor leads. There's an enclosure on the motor which has knock-outs and you can treat it just like an outlet box. I used a strain relief coupler to get a snug connection between my power cord, where it entered the motor, and the motor housing itself. I did have to wrap the cord with electrical tape a few times to get a snug fit. All of this sounds complicated when I write it, but it's really pretty self-evident when you have the motor in front of you. The trickier part was wiring the switch because it appeared to be set up to have all three lines run through the switch. That's unnecessary, so I only ran the hot/white lead through the switch and it works fine. That switch really makes a difference, too. I paint often and plugging and unplugging the unit every time to turn it on and off would be a pain. I hope you build one! I have been using it daily over the last few days (and many times since I built it) and it has really improved my output. It's a joy to use. It is time to get new filters though. They look very dirty! Please let me know if I can help with your build! [e-mail].

[@justinharlick5688]

Do you have the measurements for the booth

[@PKWModelwerx]

See the website vent-works.com/blogs/the-ventilation-blog/15945741-diy-hobby-spray-booth%20, but it is roughly 2 feet wide, 26 inches deep and 18 inches high. Great booth and I hope you make and enjoy one! keep me posted.
