DIY CUSTOM BUILT POWDER COAT OVEN (SAVE TONS OF MONEY!)

Hey guys, this video is showing our DIY custom built powder coat oven. Just like us, I'm sure you have gotten a quote from a powder coating business and your jaw dropped for how expensive it was. Well... build this and you will save a lot of money! We go over the materials needed and how we built the oven. If you have any more questions about the build we will help you out with your build. Let us know in the comments on what you would change on the design. Hope you enjoy the video, and make sure to subscribe to the channel for more amazing content. Thanks!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, this is a list that we came up with for the control box. Let me know if there is anything else you need, like other parts or just questions about the build and we will be happy to help you on your build!
Now these are all name-branded parts that our buddy, who is an electrical engineer recommended to us when we built our oven years ago. But, I'm sure you can find other brands that are cheaper. Just because we built this forever ago, some of these parts you can buy are either certified refurbished or you have to contact the company to order them. I did go on eBay and found some used ones.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parts for the Powder Coat oven control box:
Yaskawa HI-35E magnetic contactor
Allen Bradley 1487-B-BASX-0-N transformer
Fenwal 923 Temperature Controller
Bussmann 2 Pole Power Distribution Block
Type K Thermocouple
Also it is a 240v single phase.
If you have anymore questions about the build you can email us at [e-mail].

Maybe an idea would to make dividing walls between the 3 burning that can be slid in and out..That way when you only have a small part, you are only using a third of the space to heat up..Just need to come up with a way to shut off 2 of the burners when you only need one..

[@RegulerShowTV]

just acquire a large microwave oven to use with smaller parts

[@Smashleytulsa]

@regulershowtv and put metal parts in a microwave?😅

[@williamcastleberry7338]

You need to add some radiant shields over your elements, just some sheet metal with 3/4 -1' holes, hanging in front of the elements. You may not have had any problems yet but it will if you get some parts to close to the elements. It will actually burn the coating or discolor it . Don't ask me how I know. LOL I have two ovens in my shop 7' X 7' X 7' inside measurements and a 4'6" T x 3' W x 32" D inside. I heat mine with LP, I built my own burners and controls myself. The big oven, I can bring from 32* up to 400* in about 9-10 minutes and the little oven about 15 minutes (different type of burner. I don't need to dump 500,000 btu of heat in it.)

[@GeeCeeAte]

Nice! Any more info/tips on your setup? My garage is off grid and I’ve been wanting to do LP. Because my system wouldn’t be able to run 15kw of elements

[@leonardocasadei]

Brilliant! Thanks very much from Argentina!

[@midgetwitha50cal13]

I need an oven like this to powder coat my own atv frames. Cool build.

[@bennetaiken9849]

Awesome video! Using two house type ovens now due to cost of store bought PC Oven... I'll build one of these now, use parts from the other two, toss them when done and have a permanent oven in their space! Thanks for the video!

[@insearchoftone9602]

It looks like you could use those same hinges all the way around to connect all the wall pieces so you wouldnt have to unscrew anything. Other than that i love the idea

[@annepeterson1450]

Ingenious!!! Thanks for sharing this!!!

[@a.c.fretworks]

Best DIY cure oven video I've seen yet. I need something bigger than what I already have for powder coating and would like it to double for prepreg carbon fiber curing. With just a few tweaks I can accomplish exactly what I need for a fraction of the price of all the turn-key ovens I've found that just aren't big enough. Thank you! Your design is large enough for me to cure 4 or 5 carbon fiber guitars at a time and cost-effective enough to be worth the build time.

[@livingyourbestlife711]

great idea! thanks for sharing! been PC since 2006 in the Austin-Houston TX area. take care!

[@scbaby1991]

Thanks for sharing guys awesome video.

[@stupidplumbing2343]

Necessity is the mother of invention. Good job.

[@RCWeldingsgarage]

Amazing project. I have a welding shop and have been considering building my own oven to powdercoat in shop.

[@davidedgerly]

In a word.... Genius!

[@mrfuriuzstylez]

this video makes me feel confident in replicating this oven. Thank you, extremely detailed

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

Thanks for checking out the video! If you need any more guidance or help, don't hesitate to ask. We will love to help on your build!

[@LuthandoMandula]

Me 2, very detailed

[@gregcaruso2641]

Great build. I like the modularity of it, so you can store it.

[@cramersclassics]

Best DIY oven video... and I have watched many. Looking forward to your powder coating tips!

[@JDMshitbox]

Excellent video, very detailed and professionally presented! I will be making one just like this, thank you!

[@boxer71c55]

Excellent vid! Very nice budget setup and shows you can get great results without forking out tons of money.

[@robertwestbrook9344]

Great video, I actually have everything to make it, thanks for the 💡

[@AR3n3gad3]

Awesome! Thanks!!!

[@HalfAssHomestead]

Love it. Just bought the Eastwood system and was wondering about what I was going to do for the oven. As a maker kind of guy, this definitely fits the bill. A standard oven is good for small parts, but I don't plan on coating little things for the big $$.

[@Tavnott]

Creative! I likes.. Would love to see any upgrades made.

[@rsnell5031]

Great video, thank you!

[@FranksShitBoxCollection]

Thank you so much for this informative video. Been wanting to start doing powder coating as a weekend side job but the oven prices have scared me off until I saw this video.

[@No1cares85]

this is a really cool video. Im a DIY'er myself. Ive wanted to get into powder/cerakoting for a while now. You gave me a lot of good ideas, Thanks!

[@chrishua6444]

I am just finding this. Absolute phenomenal job on this build. Very inspiring. I will try this oven build. I have been gathering stuff over time to build one. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

Let us know if you need any help with your build. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@onenewworldmonkey]

Such a rare bird to be so down to earth and I thank you for it. Refreshing to see. Thanks also for not being afraid of your shadow as everyone else is. Nothing about "don't do this at home" or I'm not a professional or bs like words being afraid of liability or generally chick talk by grown ass men.

[@downdirty8543]

I built one very similar a year ago and bailed on it because I thought it too big. Yours is ideal size. Great video, very informative and easy to follow. Perfect YT DIY instructional. Thanks!

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@69JJV]

I can relate same arm. drilled through the bone add a button through the bone. Told me it's stronger then before. Was nevus going back to lifting all is good.

[@jamespolucha8790]

Very nice, I did kinda the same but used an old oven open the door and just built a box like you did but mine just sits on the oven door when it’s open put some straps on the side so I made it little more than double the size but that’s all I need, thanks for the video

[@lucass4809]

Great Video!!!!! Thank you so much, from Argentina

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@davidpavey7233]

I had watched a couple of videos of custom builds that were about the size of a dorm refrigerator. I need bigger than that and thought about using metal studs and galvanized metal. I thought I was the smartest guy around and then clicked on your video and found out that I was the second smartest because you beat me to it. Thanks for the video and the info. Subscribe and thumbs up from me.

Great video, you explained everything very well. Excellent job on your build and explaining how it work in detail.

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

Thanks Ed for the kind words. Hopefully this video helps everyone out! It sucks paying a fortune for powder coating for the average joe. This will definitely save people some money!

[@wasifnaseem9645]

Thanks a lot for sharing this video. I really needed something like that to watch and learn!

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@GregPock]

Cool setup guys!!

[@tedbastwock3810]

This was fantastic to watch. Want to start powder coating, not going to drop several k for oven. Would like to do something like this on my own, but not sure I can pull off the electrical. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing your experience.

[@JohnChuprun]

The electrical looks more complicated than it is. It's not that bad!

[@mattreno998]

Excellent video! Subbed immediately, wanting to make this myself. Keep it up!👍🏼

[@anthonyreddy2834]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Great video Guys! I'm going to build one for my mini bike/ go kart and Dirtbike frames/ parts. What do you guys do for frames that size for Sand Blasting? I want to do that also!

[@18wheelin71]

Hey guys video is very helpful. I was trying to tell how many metal studs it took. Thanks

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

Thanks Derek! Thanks for checking out the video.

[@mikemckinney1602]

Great video! Defiantly building one. Did you consider a circulating fan or are you happy without?

[@charleslara4074]

How do you like the Eastwood powder coat gun? Do you ever do translucent colors or multiple stage colors? I am having a hard time doing multi stage colors

[@BOOMSTICK-PRODUCTIONS]

Nice

[@rogerdixon6135]

Awesome build i want to build one my self, i really like the simple design and the low cost to build it. Great video. Roger Dixon

"It's only temporary, unless it works"... ;)

[@jerryscustomdetailing7157]

Will this work with enfrared lamps?

[@600miles]

NIC Prismatic is only about 10 miles from me in White City OR. It's great to go there in person and they let you go upstairs where 8500 color chips are hanging. They always let me take a few samples for my projects and they have a color matching team onsite. I place my orders and pick up in person or they can ship to you for a small fee.

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

That sounds amazing! Thanks for checking out the video.

[@ryankenaley7401]

Great content!

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@2dogsf-ing]

A good idea to do if you haven't redone the oven. Is put the fiberglass rap on the window door the same way as the bottom of the doors. Because there is no seal in the middle gap.

[@COMMON_KING]

Great video

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@ze_german2921]

How big is your Breaker to run this Oven? 50Amps?

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

Just came across your channel. Been wanting to get/try powered coating Thinking I could find old stoves and cut sides and re-weld to make cabnits. Something to def look into. Will be following your channel

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@AceStephens]

What are the internal dimensions? Also do you think two burners would suffice or do you need three for that amount of cubic inches. I am designing one to coat motorcycle frames in my shop right now

[@fireguy53024]

Could use old fireplace glass for window. Easily found under $50 around me.

[@TicklerNick]

Very informative and detailed video! About time for me to make a bigger oven and I plan on building it next month. By chance, do you mind telling me the external dimensions of yours? Thanks in advance!

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

3’ x 6’ x 3’ tall. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@shortattentionspangarage1312]

Cool rig you got there. It's given me something to think about. I can have wheels PC's locally for $100/wheel, and their color selection isn't very large. For $400 I can build my own little oven just for one wheel, and buy ALL the equipment to do my own rims in whatever color I want.

[@alwayssomethinggarage794]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@Rob-yo2yd]

Love the innovation I had a small shop in 89 built and installed security doors Wet sprayed first then fast dry acrylic Then high solids bake Finally got into powder Lots of work but well worth it Had two lines one automated recycled the powder great savings paid for the equipment over time one binks 10 x10 sprayed to waste Adding a Fremont phosphate wash was great for pretreatment sadly lost it all during the 2008 2011 Economic meltdown Think I’m going to build my own this time Thanks for your post

[@jamesbanks8963]

Where did you source your galvanized sheet metal from?

[@Sup_Evox]

Oh yea ima try this 👹🤝

[@aaronrepsher7628]

Very nice build and well thought out and executed!.......as far as the burner elements, it looks like just 3 household oven elements? Can you just purchase like 3 of the same model replacement elements for a household oven and also what wattage specification elements do you recommend for a box similar in size to what you all have built?? I'm looking to mainly powder automotive parts with probably wheels and subframes/chassis parts being the largest items I will need to put in an oven so that being said a household oven was what I was originally starting to look into putting in my garage and just adding an extra 240V box on its own breaker in my panel and wiring the identical pronged plug that my plasma and welder takes that way I don't have to run it on the compressor outlet and the oven will only need plugged in when in use and all other times will be free for my plasma and welder for fabrication and all of that equipment is in the area I'm going to free up under one of my larger fab benches and build the oven to fit snug under that bench that way if I'm doing something heavy such as an engine block or similar weight I can powder it on a wheeled cart and then roll it right into the oven on the cart and when done wheel it right out instead of lifting heavy items up a few feet into the oven. I want to thank you guys for such a great informative video on your build and also thank you in advance for the information on my questions in the beginning of my comment here! I look forward to chatting with you all soon and until then take care and powder on!!

[@CGT80]

I bought a replacement element on amazon and bent it around a cylinder to make my automated bullet casting machine. Compare the size of a household oven to the volume of your oven. It would be easy to add another element later or to unhook one if you are wrong. A few years back it was $17 for the element I bought. You should do a 50 amp circuit and #6 copper wire depending on the length of run for the 6-50 receptacle. Since an oven runs for long periods of time, you want to have good size wire. Plasma cutters and welders can run on smaller wire for shorter periods, but I finally upgraded when I remodeled my garage.

[@anthonyreddy2834]

So Show Your Sand blasting Setup Next Please!!!

[@3dviewlogic]

beautiful job, gets the job done. Galvanized..?..I personally think its ok, the interior doesn't vent out and the exterior is insulated from reaching above 480. Having said that I woould have used regular sheet metal and used a high heat paint to insulate and protect, but respects for getting it done. the little guy usually doesnt go any where because Abraham Lincoln says we cant:) Wondering if 240v might have been better to drop the emparage..

[@popsshops]

Nice job. Total wattage, volume, and time to temperature? External skin temperature @ 400deg F internal? BTW, you can use regular (3M blue) masking tape. It does not burn but it does become difficult to remove when the glue gets heated. Powder much cheaper on eBay. I've purchased 50# boxes for around $2-3 per pound though not necessarily a huge color selection. Several have said powder expires but not in my experience. Main thing is to keep it dry.

[@BWILLIAMS8228]

Awesome oven!!!!!!.....I need help constructing mine.........I'd love to chat with you!!!!

[@teddybearscustoms]

Could you use the oven to cure cerakote with it or would it get to hot?

[@DK-lm2pk]

very cool,put a bushing over the exterior inside nipple ,probably already got a short though and cleared that obstacle but if not every nipple gets a bushing ..im gonna go build one these this weekend..

[@larrymaloney877]

But he's proud...doesn't have a clue. Doesn't look like high temp wire, either.
