Nice setup bud….i made my own oven and spray booth similar to your setup. Im about to upgrade the shop air to larger piping, how have you liked the rapid air system so far? Couple things id share with ya from my own experiences, and is why im choosing to go with more rigid pipe for my air main lines, is any of those little bellys you have in the air lines will tend to hold moisture. Also every time you have a riser or a drop you in your main line you should do a Tee and go to the side with you air hookup and continue a section of straight pipe down with just a manual valve so you can just crack them open and close quick to let any water out. Same reason i was saying avoid the bellys in the pipe like I seen by one of your conduit boxes and try and slope the air line I’d say 4” for every 50 foot to a drop down with a drain on a long straight main line run. With your piping you can also use tees and with your drops go up towards the ceiling and bend and loop down to the drop as long as you have a regular drop with drain after that or the piping is sloped the other way. Setup looks great just sharing some things i learned along the way. I ran 6/2 aluminum clad mc cable which is awesome and aint got to deal with conduit down to my welding machines and plasma cutter. Only thing i wish now is that i would of ran 6/3 instead because of course thats where i wanted to put my oven and could of utilized that but with no neutral i was shit out of luck 😢 But yea if you go to an electrical supplier turns out the mc cable was or is actually cheaper then romex or thnn wire and comes in a nice aluminum jacket already, makes no sense but supply and demand is what i was told. I think once you use it for any more electric runs youll never use conduit innthe shop again haha
@@bobbyd7962 I really like it so far. It’s been good to us. Appreciate the advice man. Yeah I’m definitely no professional so I take all the help I can get. Luckily since the airline runs up and over to the other side of our building the moisture hasn’t made its way over. We get some on the other side near the compressor but everywhere else seems to be good.
Wow that’s going to be a great addition to your shop!! I’m excited for you man! Let us know about pricing!! Would be happy to help support your channel more!
thats awesome dude !!! also this IS quad related 🤣🤣. im starting my own powder coating business also . its one of the best ways for me to do something within the industry .
@@867diesel good deal! Yeah we wanted to do something within the industry but also be able to expand outside of it as well and this was the best way to do it!
@@TylerMcNabb137 a buddy told me the plant he works at pays over 100k for powder coating once a year . he said a local small time guy now is living good .
Good evening; I've watched & and subscribed for a while. I have 3 Yam raptors etc etc. I might have missed it, but can you send a link for the oven? Or the internal sizes (I'm looking at doing quad frames, bike frames, etc, nothing massive? 😮( no competition live in spain 😂😂) thanks
@ thanks for the reply!! One more question. Do you like having the floor or do you wish you had a floor less so you can roll a cart in an out? I’m wanting a setup eventually an just trying to figure stuff out
@@dillard715 it’s going pretty good so far. We’ve had steady business for the last 3-4 months I’d say. Figuring a lot of stuff out and learning more and more everyday

This is going to be awesome! Can’t wait to see some of the projects this endeavor brings
@@JacksonOffroad25 oh yeah!
Congratulations on the new business venture man!
@@OdysseyOffroad thanks man!
Awesome I’ve wanted to do this but do not have the room yet good luck and might have to have you do some work once you’re up and running
Wow that’s going to be a great addition to your shop!! I’m excited for you man! Let us know about pricing!! Would be happy to help support your channel more!
@@jacobreaves62 thanks man! Once we get everything fully functional and start doing parts, I’ll definitely get a price list out!
@@TylerMcNabb137 Alright sounds good and keep up the great content posting!

@@867diesel yeah that’s where the money is at. If you can find contracts or continuous part flow, you can make out pretty good
Awesome

@@RobertFarley-hq5eb here is the link to the oven we purchased lightarmor.us/collections/ovens/products/la10k6-powdercoatoven
Sound Many Thanks
What size oven is that? Also did you have a floor put in it?
@@dillard715 oven is 4x4x6 and it came with a floor in it.
@ thanks for the reply!! One more question. Do you like having the floor or do you wish you had a floor less so you can roll a cart in an out? I’m wanting a setup eventually an just trying to figure stuff out
@ how’s the business going so far?
@@dillard715 it has a “floor” but the floor is just a thin piece of galvanized so we’re still able to roll a cart in and out pretty easily.
@@dillard715 it’s going pretty good so far. We’ve had steady business for the last 3-4 months I’d say. Figuring a lot of stuff out and learning more and more everyday
How much all that cost ?
@@turbogears900 I think we invested about $20K into the initial build
🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍👍
