A little update on the shop. Got power to the shop a few weeks ago and inspections went without a hitch. I'd say the shop is about 90% operational, just need to find a location for my drill press and a PM mortiser that's coming in soon.
I also got my paint booth put together (or slapped together), I didn't spend much time planning out the spray booth. I figured I'd just slap something together to get me by for now until I can drywall the basement in and seal off the room properly. All the plastic I hug does a good job but I do have to be careful when moving around in there not to poke a hole in it. The zip wall is works like a charm as well and I'm very happy with it. I had a shop fan laying around I had plan to use but felt it was too small for a 200 sq. ft. spray booth so I ended up ordering the one shown in the picture. Specs claim 4000 cfm (yeah right) and it does move a lot of air. I used it over the weekend as soon as I finished it to spray a clear coat on that cabinet shown in the picture and not once did it get misty in the booth so I guess it's working as it should.
The filter for the exhaust fan is taped to a frame I put together and the frame rides on a hinge. This allows me to flip open the filter to get to the fan to push it right to the edge of the window to reduce bounce back.
I also plan to come back in and maybe add 2 more filters for incoming air. I feel the 1 filter I have now isn't letting enough air in because the plastic walls would cave in on me. It created enough negative pressure to pull the 2x4 right off that I had double side taped to the ground. I ended up having to come back and driving a few nails in it using my ramset.
For those that have made successful spray booth and have advise on how to improve my set-up, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks,
Hoang
