Parts:
1 Rubbermaid "Under the Bed" storage container. I only recommend using Rubbermaid products for any application that might involve drilling or cutting holes. The other brands all seem to have a tendency to split while you're drilling them.
1 section of PVC fence rail, the kind with the 2 baffles inside with 2 end caps.
It only comes in 9' sections but I think the leftover could be cut into pieces for plug storage
4" flexible dryer vent hose,
One rubber pipe cap that fits snugly inside the hose
One piece of round sheet metal duct to fit through the wall.
ignore the holes in the back of the piece of white fence, if I were to build it again they wouldn't be there.
To power the booth I used an old box fan unit out of a furnace.
6 3"x1" strips of sheet metal
HVAC Filter material
Duct tape
Pop Rivets
Silicone Caulk
Small piece of plywood
Foam board insulation
First cut the fence rail to size and attach the end caps with a thin bead of caulk. You want it to be long enough to span the full distance in which you'll be hanging plugs in the Rubbermaid.
Take your strips of sheet metal, drill a hole about 1/3 inch from the end corresponding with the size of the pop rivets. Using a vise or pliers bend the strip into a C shape. This is going to act both as a washer for the pop rivets and as a clip to hold the filter in place. (you'll have to unbend it a little when you're inserting the pop rivets)
Lay a substantial bead of caulk about 1' from the edge of the fence piece and place the Rubbermaid container on top of it. Drill and pop rivet it in place with the strips of metal as shown in the photo
You'll notice the 3 screws on the bottom in the rear, they're attaching a piece of old hockey stick that's just the right thickness to hold the container level
Using a 1 1/4" hole saw in your drill, drill a series of holes through the Rubbermaid container and the center section of the fencing.
Cut a rectangular hole as large as possible through the rubber pipe cap and the center section of the fence piece. Attach the rubber pipe cap with 4 pop rivets. You don't need to caulk this as the rubber seals itself.
Using a drywall circle cutter if you have one, or just a keyhole saw if you don't, cut a hole through the wall that snuggly fits the sheet metal tube. Cut 1" slits in the end of the tube and bend them out to form flanges. From the outside slide the tube through the wall.
I take no responsibility if cutting a hole between the garage and the inside of the house goes against any local fire codes
Slide the flex hose over the rubber pipe cap and the metal tube, it should be very snug. Seal it with duct tape.
Part 2 tomorrow |

Tagger...sudsy has the right idea,,plastic box, but you can use a bathroom ceiling fan that take's 4"flexable dryer hose and run it 20 plus feet to where you need to go without losing any power at the end of the pipe..it has the same fin's in the fan as do the dust collector's..motor is outside of the unit and so it never come's in touch with the paint particles......I use one in my office[playroom] to clear the room of gases/paint/thinner/smoke and old fart smell's...the thing suck's/clear's a room 18x12 in no time.

Excellant post Sudsy  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Here is my spraybooth I finished today. I will only be doing acrylics. Very economical, cheap, and easy to make.

The bathroom fan I used. I put a furnace filter over it.

The exhaust from the fan to the out of doors. Works Pissa. Hope this helps. Very easy to construct.

Wrap that electric wire and plug with plastic wrap (food wrap) before you start painting. Should you need to work on it you can simply remove the plastic wrap and any over spray goes with it.

Jeeze... no more multi-colored snots for you guys.... one question, why do you have to vent it outside if the filter is collecting all the paint? Why not just send it down under the bench? No noxious or harmful fumes associated with acrylics seems like a futile extra step  maybe not.... |

My theory is that you might not want to breath it, It may not be proven bad yet but I don't trust any suspended solids. Besides which if the filter looks like that what do your lungs look like? But they are your lungs... |

That agrees with Fishingfreak's posts, saying the body is made up of alot of water, and water bound stuff might not be eliminated as other chemicals are via the liver etc. Better safe than sorry.  |

Dave my personal reason is I have worked in a machine shop for nearly 30 years and have probably breathed in way too much crap into my lungs. I look at the exhaust fans at work and think holy crap imagine what my lungs look like. I don't need or want any additional pollutants, no matter how safe they say they are. Like Dave above said better safe than sorry. Paul

I'll give this a go.
I placed the spray booth on a Craftsman tool cabinet. This allows me to move it out of the way when it is not being used.
I put an 80 cfm exhaust fan in the back of a 4" plenum behind the filter. If it does not do the job I will put another fan right beside it.
All my paint and airbrush supplies can be stored in the cabinet.

Sorry!
The booth itself has a plexiglass visor across the top of the opening so I can see with no obstructions.

BTW; I did not build the booth itself. I traded plugs to a cabinet maker friend here on the boards.
While I am into this I will post a couple pics of my shop! Thanks for looking.
