How to Make a Custom Paint Booth with Filter & Lights!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Disclaimer: This paint booth is intended for hobby use. We plan to use it only for non-VOC paint (mostly acrylic paints applied with an airbrush). In hindsight, wood wasn't the best choice of material for the frame due to how flammable it is. Years of accumulated paint could make this paint booth a fire hazard. I intend to replace all of the frame parts with less flammable material soon. Build your own paint booth at your own risk.
Bill made a super handy custom Paint booth to help him paint more safely in the shop AND ventilate the laser cutter at the same time! Follow along to see how Bill makes this one-of-a-kind piece.

when dealing with paints, how often does the filter need to be changed out? i would assume faaaairly regularly if your doing a bit of kit building and other painting hobbies a few times a week? just assuming the paint would gunk it up pretty quick relative to standard 1-3 month filter life lol

Bill the fan you're talking about from a furnace is called the inducer motor assembly. When you say furnace blower the motor for those are in the blower assembly itself and could start a fire. The inducer motor assembly is what exhaust a gas furnace and you can probably call a local HVAC company to see if they have one from a scrapped furnace that works still. I work for a HVAC company and we have hundreds of old ones just laying around and even give them away for free. Just a prop enthusiast trying to clear up some confusion and keep people safe! EDIT: After watching Bob's setup i see what you meant by a furnace blower. you can find those on old oil furnaces or industrial furnaces. really not that common anymore sadly Link to a new one for refrence : www.amazon.com/702112479-Replacement-Furnace-Exhaust-Inducer/dp/B00FQR8WES

Welcome to blue collar common sense.
I like that power strip with the switches out front and plugs in the back.
two of my favorite youtube content. prop making and carpentry melded into one video. love it!
Awesome and functional cart! If you use PVC or rigid aluminum ductwork, you might get better air flow. The flexible duct used may collapse if the vacuum pressure is too high. Also, the Kreg Jig for the pocket holes has a depth guide/setting to make sure your depth collar is set correctly. Baffles are a great idea. You can use a cheap set of window blinds to make them easily.
I love it when my favorite KZreadr makers reference each other.
Great build Bill. The gap filler we all use on foam Kwik seal would work well for sealing all of those gaps for when the duck tape dies eventually.

Pro tip (from an amateur woodworker) - If you're building two sides that are going to be identical, lay the second side on top of the finished first side so you can use the first side as a jig. No measuring needed and if you made any slight measurement errors on the first side, they will match on the second.

Thanks for showing that you are still human Bill and not an instant expert with every tool you pick up. I won't mention the power strip being upside down and it killing my OCD soul. That seems petty and I know you will correct it. Great vid.

FYI, there should be a guide on the Kreg pocket screw packaging that shows you where to put the drill bit collar for different wood thickness. I did the exact same thing Bill did the first time I used pocket screws, too excited about new tools to read the instructions!!! Also, I think the double pocket screw guide is the way to go.
Great tutorial. I built one very similar to yours a few years ago for my modeling hobby using 2x4’s and plywood. Due to space limitations of my shop I had to mount my blower and filter on the bottom surface of the spray box. I covered the filter with a metal grate, which serves as the “floor” of the painting area. It creates a down-draft that works surprising well. The blower/motor was the most expensive part. I bought mine at a hydroponics store for about $65. I love your power switch bank. I’m going to make that an upgrade to my booth. Since my son took up prop making and cosplay, my booth gets a lot of use. You’ve been a big inspiration to my son. You and Andrew DFT are his favorite makers.

enjoyed the video Bill - I built a booth based on the one in a Kamui Cosplay book - she made it simple by using a cabinet from IKEA and cutting a hole for the filter and adding lights and a fan. I had an old cabinet so I gave it a go and it works great. Easier if you don' thane the room or the tools to build the cabinet.

For the lighting, you could try lighting through the white plastic panels as they would diffuse the light and give a much more even "coverage". For visualization, imagine a light box you would use to photograph a subject but with an air filter in the back of it. Awesome idea and another great video!
This is fantastic man, i love it. I was considering sectioning off a part of my garage with a stud wall for a painting area but this booth uses so much less space and works perfectly! i may have to build one of these myself. Thanks guys!

@MrDrako2012

Came to say this. You don't want the drill to come out the end of the wood.
7:08 Hey Bill, pocket holes are the correct option for that. You never want to screw, or nail into endgrain (or even glue actually). The joint is weak and will fail over time. Screwing through the endgrain to the long grain is several times stronger since you're basically screwing through a pilot hole that the smooth shank of the screw will live in, and the screw threads will grip into the cross grain. That's the real reason you need special screws with pocket holes. Just adjust your depth correctly :-). Side note, I have a box full of 20x20 4" thick filters that didn't fit my furnace that I'm going to do something similar with.
Well done!
This is pretty close to what I was looking for. Thank you!
Hey bill! The joint where the ends pointed out, you were still right to use pocket holes. While they do help with awkward places, their job is actually for strength not ease. Screws going into end grain don’t hold well because of the orientation of fibers, so with the pocket holes your never going straight into endgrain, but still slightly against it in each piece. That gives the threads better bite and leads to a stronger, longer lasting joint.
That trick using the duct tape to transfer the hole locations from the light to the wood is really clever. Hopefully I'll remember that next time I need to mount something like that.
Excellent spray box!! Nice use of tuberfers!

I made a similar version some time ago using a plastic garage cabinet I had. It was already together, so all I had to do was cut a large square out in the back and make a spacer for the filter and put the cut-out section back with a 4" adapter for connecting my dust collection hose. It's light and can be moved easily when not needed. I do need better lighting, so I will use your idea for that. Great video Sir.

My booth is like 12 years old now and built out of 2x2 frame (really just 2x4s ripped down the middle) , cardboard sides (old boxes), and duct tape to seal it up. Made it where it all unbolts into flat panels to store when I'm not using it.
Awesome build, but the filter is in backwards the cross hatching is there to prevent the filter from being pulled in when the filter starts to get clogged and pull out the Kreg instructions out of file 13 and your screws won't peek through anymore.
I dont know about you, but the banana is the perfect cutting tool. You give the piece of wood its daily dose of potassium and BOOM! Its now cut into the sizes you need. Its a flawless method.

Paint booths are definitely handy.
Two things. 1, I'm 90% sure that filter is in backwards. There will be a marking on the edge saying which way the air will flow. 2, you could put construction adhesive or caulk on the wood before you attach it to the frame to make the edges airtight and just tape the butt joints.
I love those rack-mounted power strips. You can buy them off of Amazon too, they are pretty cheap
If you end up closing the bottom compartment, i suggest that you put a flow indicator somewhere on the water tube, to check that the water pump is working properly.
That is amazing, not ugly but functional.

I had the next size up kreg jig that you have a long time ago that had little sliding arms to determine how far back the holes were set. I believe the thickness of the board you are drilling into determined how far back the jig is set from the end so the hole is roughly center, and how far up your collar is is determined by the thickness of the board you're screwing to so that the screw doesnt poke out the back side.
Thats a nice booth . A tad high , I do prefer to sit and spray . But the tape idea for light securing , brilliant . I do love the the door block with the pipe fixing to keep it wind , particle and weather free . Outstanding tool kit as well .

Hi Bill , nice spray booth . Can i give you some humble tips ? You can experiment with the lights , it maybe would be more practical if you mount the lighting in the top front inner corner , that way you get less chance to get" over spray " on to the lights and you could easy look from both sides to the parts you painted to see if you missed some spots or have some thin coated spots without blinding yourself from staring right in the light source by accident . Also you can consider to use hooks or eye hook bolts with a washer and self locking nut so they can turn free in that upper beam to easely spin the part for spraying all sides . That way you can always aim straight forward to the direction of the filter. One more little thing : pocket holes will always be better and stronger than screwing in the end grain of wood. Thanks for for showing all those beautiful props you made , there are always some golden tips in your videos so again thanks for sharing.

Based on other comments, I expect he will go with the alternative solution of putting cling wrap or clear cellophane tape over the lights, which can be easily and quickly replaced when overspray becomes an issue in blocking light. he tends to use wire when hanging parts, which can be bent to expose the other side without worrying about it twisting back around, but some king of spinning hook is a good idea. Also, I think he's aware that screwing into endgrain is not effective connection, given he demonstrated this at 4:06.

With all of the spray booths I've checked out, one thing I haven't seen is swivel hooks on the ceiling. To be able to reach up, turn the hook, and turn your project would be a wonder.
When you measure things and make lines, draw an arrow on the side where you will attach things (or to mark what part to save etc etc). It save you having to wonder what side of the line you should be on. I use arrows but I guess you can just write HERE or something to :)

Real smooth way of telling me Bob's my uncle, dad! 😭😭😭😭
A few tips, on the side of the boxes for your air filter, there are arrows that point to the direction of airflow. Maybe a tongue and groove design would be more efficient at an airtight seal for the back boards. As for the type of fan motor, your probably talking about a brushless fan. As brushed fans creates sparks through the carbon brushes to turn the armatures. That make the motor turn.

Small halogen work lights in the top corners would give more light. Additions to consider would be a heavy blanket on the front with a small heater to speed drying time.
Love the paint booth, guys! I may need one of my own soon so it's cool to have another design to look at. Perfect time to ask a paint question, I have a 3D printed model that I'm painting that doesn't have any kinds of gaps or holes to hang it from as well as only one flat face and I'm trying to keep from drilling holes in it. Would painting triangles be my best bet at even coverage?
