For sanding the fan should be evacuating the booth through a filter, and for spray finishing the fan should be pressurizing the booth through a filter. When you are spraying a finish that you do not want contaminated with dust, the area must be free of dust in the air, so by pressurizing the booth with clean air it keeps dust out of the booth. It will take some trial and error to get you booth working well for both tasks. The box fan will not be powerful enough with the filter attached to do the job. Look for an old 3 speed furnace blower (from a scrap furnace), that is what I have used from time to time. Also be mindful of the type of solvents involved, your box fan's switch is not explosion proof and can spark off flammable solvents found in glues and paints that are not water soluble.
The book provides clear illustrations th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO diagrams that cover many of the essential topics. The projects at the end of the book are valuable for enhancing your skills and creating your own furniture. A digital platform linked to the book that could offer the plans for other woodworking projects with the cut sheets would have been a nice addition, but overall, the book is excellent.
Try hanging a really small winch on the ceiling so when your going to use the paint booth you bring down the cable and hook it on the end of the booth to hold up the other end that’s just hanging in the air..it will help also incase those gas shocks ever fail..once your done u unhook the winch cable and wind up the cable and bring down your paint booth👍🏻
Good job, this is amazing! I’ve been using the box fan filter method for 3 years on 3 machines, so far so good! I would recommend getting a filter with most pleats, which gives you the most surface area. This means more air flow, more time between filter changes, and more filtration. I’ve found that 3M (Filtrete 1900) usually has the most pleats (almost triple of the cheap brands on Amazon!).
Box fans and AC filters are a great way to go. I made a bank of nine for my booth. Years and no complaints. Better average CFM than a commercial unit for short runs, even if it loads up faster in longer use.
Wow, that's a really cool paint booth~! I love the portability without it having to be lugged around the shop. I'm definitely putting this on my build list. Thank for sharing this idea~!!
Nice Job. I got a Laguna dust collector, this freed up my original Dust Right collector. I built my paint booth using the Dust Right. The ideal thing about that is, like the concerns you pointed out with the box fan, the motor for the dust right doesn't come in contact with any fumes that pass through the air movement. I don't think it would work to mount it to your sanding booth but the input could be mounted to the roof and a hose over to the wall with the Dust Right mounted there. Just an idea.
Do not use typical furnace filters for your exhaust fan. Regular furnace filters will filter SOME of the sanding dust, but as far as painting fumes, not at all, and you said you wanted to be a good neighbor :) Use a 20x20x2 inch Merv-13 filter, which can be found on Amazon. If your frame can handle 1 or 2 more fans, it will move a lot more air. You're also going to want to put the filter under the fan to protect the fan from getting gummed up by everything going through it. Duct tape will be strong enough to hold the filter.
Another genius Woby Design. Seeing the evolution of this on IG was a great study on adaptation and problem solving. Seeing it all put together here was just fun. Always enjoy your attitude and humor. Bang, bang, bang, already done. Thanks for sharing!
Positive and encouraging to make your wife proud... Hi Ben's wife, Ben is so awesome and we all love his great work! He inspires us in our mission to create cool things as well. Thank you for sharing him with all of us!
Very nice job Ben. It turned out very well. Hopefully you get great use out of it my friend. Can't wait to see what you do in your next video. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend Ben. Keep making. God bless. Woo
I'm a new subscriber getting ready to finally set up my first (tbh very tiny) shop, and wanted to say that you wanting to teach people how to put stuff together instead of just selling people plans is super refreshing. I am actually considering buying the camera jig plans soon though for ease of setting stuff up. Your energy and enthusiasm for this stuff shines right through, and I'm loving every video I've seen so far. Thank you for all the work you put into this!!
Good job bro! Have you considered the use of a pulley system to open it up or keep it up. ie rope attached to the handle at the end, running through pulley wheels on the ceiling / wall etc. Then a few small weights evenly spaced out attached to the curtains to keep it down. Or if you have a super high ceiling, you can reverse it to have the pistons bring the whole frame down upon opening.
I came to the comments to suggest the same thing. If you have the unit swing down from the wall/ceiling you can still utilize the wall space and if you decide to have a bench or work surface, you don’t need to move everything out of the way to swing up the booth.
Great job you've done, but why don't you make a vacuumtable? This way you get rid of dust, before it can escape outside. In combination with the funnel you already have, you should be safe and use your dustcollector at max.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Nice job! WOOOOO! Love it. From content to your enthusiasm. I have been wanting to do something similar in my garage as I have a 6'x8' fully enclosed booth taking up some significant space in my garage. Thanks so much for greasing my gears!
Really found some ideas from your vid, but you should consider a $40ish side/ceiling return air cover grille to hold the filter above (for fan). Maybe even use some small bendy clamps to pinch the sides of each curtain together and contain the area even more.
Love the innovation. You could hook up a dust collection line to the top side of the fan body and therefore would have little to no dust and crap flying around the outside of your spray booth. Just a thought. Still love it still and the folding stairs are my favorite.
Great idea with the gas pistons. Definitely giving that a go. However, the polycarbonate is pretty expensive in Canada. Can't find anything like that under $200. May have to use some 1/8 meranti board or thin foam board. Nice build though!
Get a Festool RO90 sander. It's a dual mode; one for stripping and one for finishing. It's also dust free when hooked up to a shop Vac, Dust Deputy, or Festool Dust extractor.
okay! Bang, Bang, Bang! Nice job. No, really this is absolutely a brilliant idea. Take it from a guy who got spray paint dust on his car while spraying in the garage.
Homie, you can easily make a battery powered lightbox with a remote on/off switch the says "LIVE" or "RECORDING" to give your lady a heads when its lit outside the room, or not I'm not the pee police. Love the video, great work!
That's a really good idea to keep dust and over spray from getting everywhere. Having a separate intake and exhaust fan might help if you feel like you're not getting enough airflow in there. But too much and all your going to do is blow dust in your face. I'm sure you get enough of that without needing to make more. Awesome stuff you do.. my favorite channel lately.
You're a freakin genius. Love the new shop and how you did everything. Just awesome. As a carpenter myself I love all of this and the stairs are one of my favorite parts.
You should put 2 eye bolts on the opposite wall near the ceiling, then two eye bolts on the frame at the top either side, then a rope attached to the eye bolts on the wall with a hook on the end, then when it is opened up you can just hook on the rope and that will take some Of the cantilevering weight!!
BANG (Clicked Like), BANG (Clicked Bell to Receive All Notifications), BANG (Already been Subscribed) , annnddd IINCREDIBLE Job bro! I'm in the works of utilizing this enclave that comes out the front of my shop/store front/Recording Studio, hidden behind metal grates/Rolling Shutters). I bought a ceiling track system, the kind you would see in a hospital that closes the area around a bed. Was much cheaper then going with Rockler's ceiling track which I already have and love that is used for something else. The Track will hold multiple tarps that will cover all 4 sides. Vented filter system to circulate the air in and then out. Once I go live for the shop, I will make sure to send you the making of video! Thank you for sharing all your skills and knowledge with us and Best of luck with all your future endeavors! Stay Safe! P.S. Def ordering those gas struts!
Bang, Bang, Bang... Nice Job! (seriously, I really liked this build and it is fun seeing you struggle with something, but share it with us! (Does the "WOOOO!" drive you wife nuts?!! LOL)
Maybe it’s time for you to upgrade to the festool sanding system. It will definitely help with the dust collection and the RO150 will make sanding a breeze in geared mode.
festool....... lol, yeah right. what, do you think he is a millionaire or something??? their products are only made for the rich people. plus they are not that much better honestly. head down to lowes or home depot and get standard tools, they work just as good and sometimes better than the uber high priced tools like festool!
Hi Ben, cool booth. If I had your shop I would swivel it up not down that would keep the wall free for other things, or you could leave a bench there. Swivel it up could be done with a rope system so no gas struts needed. Cheers Mark
You should get yourself a sandblasting cabinet and try to sand the skateboards that way, it seems to work well for any type of grime i get on any metal work i do, its also got packaging stickers off of plywood sheets that I’ve found to be annoyingly stuck on after trying to rip it off in one go! Should work the same for paint and clear coats on skateboards. Less elbow grease and the debris will be contained to one area instead of all over your workshop!

Where did you get the curtain? These seem to fold up nice.

Your new shop is shaping up into something really cool! Can't wait to see what you will be making in it.
probably everything but made from recycled skateboards

Just found my solution for making a in-garage spray booth. Thanks for making this awesome video, can't wait to build it.
Dude….just….dude….you inspire me to keep improving my craft, thank you sir!!!

Nice job
Heyyy We had the same idea, but with a different execution! I love your new space. Keep building and inspiring!
i know nothing about woodwork but your videos are very enjoyable...woooooo
Dude this is exactly what I need in my new shop!!!!!. Finally a folding spray booth that is easy to setup and take down.
Good job, this is amazing!

I love it ... "Bang, Bang, Bang, and Nice Job"!!! Sounds like a T-Shirt idea :).
Great job on a space saving design for a paint booth. (positive and encouraging comment made).
hell yeah, going to use this as inspiration for a surf board shaping room.
Nice Job! :) A friend and I were talking about your idea the other day and now we know how you did it. thanks for sharing.
Certified Banger
Truly an inspiring project for someone working towards a shop and likely not having tons of space to use.
Build a box/bench with perforated table top and tapering bottom, then hook up the vacuum on the bottom. Basically a downdraft sanding table.
Box fans and AC filters are a great way to go. I made a bank of nine for my booth. Years and no complaints. Better average CFM than a commercial unit for short runs, even if it loads up faster in longer use.
I tip my hat to content creators. They're are so nice and respectful to the haters and know-it-alls in the comment section.
Bang up job on the booth, my good sir. And a very, very slick shop you've manufactured. Thanks for the free ideas
Nice project. The polycarbonate is a great idea for the top.
Dude, that fact that you add your ads to the video itself will get sponsored lined up... Congrats. GENIUS!!!
You're a lovely energetic Craftsman. Thank you for your always positive content. It's much appreciated❤️🤗🙏🏽
Nice idea!! Woooooooo!!
You have cool chanel too! #Subscribed
Officially my favorite woodworking Channell! Love this guy! Wooooo!
Sending good vibes! Also, we’ll played with positive punishment 👏 1:15
That is a great idea and goes well with your folding stairwell. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next build.

It looking good the shop! It is great that you can start again to do stuff with skateboard!!!
Great vid. Well done. Positive AND encouraging.
GREAT JOB WOBY - love it. Nice work.
I like the new shop better than the container!
always use the air extractor in the bottom... use gravity for particles!!!
Nice shoutout on Dekay! His creations are pretty rad. Great setup, my dude. Glad to see your new shop is treating you well!
Great looking spray booth, another item to add to my shop build. Building a one garage shop so space is important.

Muchas gracias por el vídeo. Una gran idea! Un saludo desde Asturias (España)
This is so sick! Definitely some Dekay vibes.

awesome, exactly the amount of design I might need, nice that it's not over engineered
😂 great job Ben! Your wife can be proud
King of making a small space work
I would buy some bright LED light strip and run them around the inside of the box (along inner edge of the track?) and across the two stringers.
