I'm just about to build a spray booth, but my design had the extractor fan in the middle. I, like you, am right-handed and off-setting it to the left is a stroke of genius my friend. Well done and keep up the good work ,-)
Bathroom exhaust fan, simple safe quiet and effective what a great idea. I never would never have thought of that it's perfect New subscriber and new to modeling after a 50 year hiatus.
Love your booth, man. And I love the detail about offsetting the location of the fan to the left because you're right handed. I'm going to use that idea!
Awesome build sir, I went and dropped $90.00 on one of those Amazon booths instead of going with my instinct and building it, my fear was a cheap bathroom vent would be too loud, that $17.00 fan you have is 100 times quieter then mine. I'm a new sub I look forward to seeing your work.
Nice work! I’m going to give this a try. I’ll need to figure out how to vent it, perhaps just up to the attic of the garage since the filter should catch most of the paint.
Good idea. You could wire up a in line lamp on-off switch. I would get the large version, easier to wire up. Just cut one side (power side, none rib side of 2 wire cord) of the power cord & attach to screws. I cut off the cable from non working appliances (toaster ovens, vacuums, mixers, etc...) & make short switched extension cords (used with soldering irons, airbrush compressor, anything without a switch) or make up switched power cords (like for the fan).
Wonderful video, you've likely saved a lot of people a lot of money in both terms of something pro and medical bills, this sort of thing is what TH-cam does best, thanks so much.
Add binder clips to the base to hold paper towel sheets. Binder clips have a hole in them, use binding posts to hold them. For about $2 you have a system to hold a replaceable paper surface. Wet it down with water when you paint and it will keep dust out of your paint.
Moe, you are genius. I was looking at a Tamiya spray booth that ran about $250.00. This is every bit as good, if not better. Thanks for the ideas. I plan to start constructing my own next week.
Great booth I built one like you did , used tape to seal the sides. Your method of using caulking to create the seal sounds much better thank you for the tip 👍
Nice build! Like you, I'd like to start back up on scale modeling and want to play it smart this time by building a spray booth. Great idea offsetting the fan to account for your dominant hand! Thanks for the ideas!
Looking to get back into modeling myself and need a paint booth. This is a simple design. I'm going to build one like it. Love the bathroom fan idea. Thank you.
Nice job! I'm getting back into modelling as well after 20 years....trying to decide between building a spray booth or getting one of Amazon for about $150 CAD....
I like the exhaust fan idea, but I'd probably try and make a separate box to put it in, and just run the duct to the back of the booth. This would eliminate vibration noise and maybe keep the work area quieter. This gives me some ideas though.
Man I appreciate this video I'm getting into model railroading. And I've been looking into airbrushing and booths. And I see it would be cheaper for me to build my own spray booth . Thanks man!!!!
This is actually kind of amazing dude, great job! I'm really limited in space for painting and modelling so I need something I can pop on and off my desk easily, but all the store bought booths are so chunky and we're just now getting top or side mounted exhausts. I might have a look around and see if I can do a similar job with the stores I have here in Australia.
Hey, that's badass! I was looking for guides to make one for my own minis. Whats the purpose of the painters tape? is that just to keep layers of paint and material from forming on the wood?
Good setup. You might even be able to use just a basic 120MM PC fan with a smaller filter if you want to lower cost. 50CFM seems pretty powerful for a box that small.
Great job! I was wondering if you still smell paint when spraying? Reason I ask is just because the extracted air has to make that right turn out of the fan housing. If you are wishing you could move more air, (if it is even necessary), I think I have seen in-line extraction fans. You could fit one close to your outside exit point to increase airflow. Hope this makes sense.
I've moved my booth to the right side of the vent. I also wear a respirator while I spray. I don't smell anything. I always let the fan run a little longer after a finish
Wow thats really clever, great job and thank you for sharing! I’ve watched many of these DIY vids on these and you explained it the best ( really easy for me to understand) and I really appreciate it 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻
Looks good I heard these hand are fine with small painting projects just not good for spray cans because the fumes can ignite since the electric motor is in front
Looks like a great simple build! Out of curiosity, what is the size of the box? I built a booth ages ago, and I recall it was great when I started, but I quickly realized the height was too low, especially when I added lights to the ceiling...
Good stuff there bud it is always intersting to see other modelers set up.Ive been off and on car modeling for approximately 6 years but still intimidated by the airbush.Thanks for sharing.
Nice build. Much more sturdy than my cardboard box and, vacuum cleaner bag filter, computer fan and good old method of “plug switch”. The only advantage mine have is that it’s pretty much a box that you can pack with paints and put on a shelf.
Man you have the best setup yet... High ceiling with a proper filter, and you sealed it. Everyone else just screws stuff in with leakage. Brilliant. I'm gonna have to follow this, and try to add hinges to make it portable/foldable.... I also dig that you knew how to direct your fan because of the right-hand dominant position. You're super big brain.
Thanks very useful information, especially about fan position I've never heard that mentioned before. One small improvement might be to shade or direct the lights so that it's only on the model and not shining in your eyes.
@@moesscalemodelbench9688 A strip of white card or foamboard glued beside the LED strip would reflect more light towards the model and act to block light from your eyes.
Good idea for bright LEDs. These aren't bright enough to effect my eyes at all. I'll keep that in mind for my next build or if I change out the lights. Thanks...
Nice job on the DIY spray booth. I see you got one of those fancy foldable spray booth in later videos. So does this DIY one not work for you? I'm debating whether to make one or buy one. Like to get your opinion. Keep up the good work!
Looks good. I bought me a respirator off ebay for $20. Some of those paints are strong even with it on. I need to run me a vent duct like that. Is that a 71 Plymouth your getting ready to paint? Thanks.
You made it seem like an exhaust fan is optional. I never used an air brush before, but I received a kit as a gift and my acrylic paints arrived today. I chose acrylic over enamel because it’s easier to clean, and I figured the fumes would be significantly less. Would you suggest I include a fan, regardless of acrylic or enamel?
It is optional. You can just make a Booth with no Fan. Especially if you're just spraying acrylics. Just something to catch the over spray from the paint. But if You're spraying more harmful paints, you need a ventilation system.
Do you have a problem with the filter clogging quickly? I built a booth and have a really killer fan but don't want paint on it, so I use a similar filter cloth but it gets covered quick and then the fan doesn't really suck the fumes out as good. I haven't been able to find filters like you use here in Thailand, so I'm using what I could find.
When I used this booth, I would change filters for each Build. They're cheap at about $4 per filter, or even cheaper. But it never got clogged up and I mostly Use an Airbrush. Of course if you're using Mainly spray cans it will get covered a lot quicker
@@moesscalemodelbench9688 Thanks, maybe I need to change it after each one too. I use an airbrush, but sometimes when I just need to paint something small quickly I'll grab a spray can.

I really like your booth. Straightforward, simple, but clever. You also did a great job at explaining the build from start to finish. Well-done!
I've seen like 20 videos "DIY Spray booth" on youtube and this one is the first that looks easy to accomplish. Cheers, great content!
Thank you
I was going to use cardboard and computer fans but I think the bathroom fan would move a lot more air thx
Love your booth, man. And I love the detail about offsetting the location of the fan to the left because you're right handed. I'm going to use that idea!
This is perfect! Glad I looked at this before spending $150 on one
Nice Job! Really like the lights! Offset is a nice detail most people wouldn't think of.
Thank you

Going to grade the fan here soon

COOL AS EVER WITH THE BUILDING OF SPRAY BOOTHS!

Great idea to offset your fan I didn't think of that im making a booth for my son to paint his warhammer stuff
Well done. I'm now on my way to building my own spray booth to paint my hotwheels. Thank you for the video!

EXCELLENT MOE, I'VE BUILDED MY BY USED OF PLYWOOD PANELS, AND FOUR LONG HINGES!
I’m a beginner in Gunpla and this is the type of setup I’m looking to make. Thank you for the video.
It worked great for what I used to it for. I gave it away once I got a new one and the person still uses it.
very good idea - I like the filter inside - makes it easy. Thanks so much.
Good job!!
Is it possible put a vaccum shop? Or the fan is the choise?
Great build, would nice for the dimensions of the spray booth cheers Graham.
Man I appreciate this video I'm getting into model railroading. And I've been looking into airbrushing and booths. And I see it would be cheaper for me to build my own spray booth . Thanks man!!!!

Yeah you pretty much can make it any size you want for whatever space
Hey, that's badass! I was looking for guides to make one for my own minis.
Whats the purpose of the painters tape? is that just to keep layers of paint and material from forming on the wood?
Excellent my friend, very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Hot glue is the best adhesive to use with foamcore or feather board.
Awesome DIY booth........well done!!!!!!!!

Since it's movable straighten duct as much as practical, you don't need to worry about restrictive airflow.
Excellent! Inventive!
Smart and well explained…👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Wow thats really clever, great job and thank you for sharing! I’ve watched many of these DIY vids on these and you explained it the best ( really easy for me to understand) and I really appreciate it 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻
Nice detail in offsetting the fan. 👊🏻
Looks good I heard these hand are fine with small painting projects just not good for spray cans because the fumes can ignite since the electric motor is in front
Correct
I use Mostly Acrylic/ water Based paints. No spray cans
Looks like a great simple build! Out of curiosity, what is the size of the box? I built a booth ages ago, and I recall it was great when I started, but I quickly realized the height was too low, especially when I added lights to the ceiling...
great job i'm going to try it thank you for taking the time out to show ever one
Cool.... Time to get busy making one 😀..... Thanks 😎

Appreciate it. It held Up Great. Never had any issues. I've purchased another a couple months ago. But this is a great set up on a Budget
I would love to see how you build it. Especially wiring the fan.
Very nice. I got most of this stuff around the house!
Thanks very useful information, especially about fan position I've never heard that mentioned before. One small improvement might be to shade or direct the lights so that it's only on the model and not shining in your eyes.
These are basic LEDs. They just shine straight down and into the box. Can't change the direction
@@moesscalemodelbench9688 A strip of white card or foamboard glued beside the LED strip would reflect more light towards the model and act to block light from your eyes.

I want to build myself one of these. Nice setup! If and when I build one and when I show it on the channel I will link this video.
Love it!! Sure beats paying $180 on Amazon for one!

Yes sir. Had to upgrade
you can spray the inside with plasti dip. That will prolong and strengthen the booth.
Lot of basics good job
Lol
Next project sorted! Thanks
I love this idea! Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Great job! Way cheaper than some that you find online!
Niiiiice spray booth. My 3d printer lead me here. Thanks for the vid
Very clever, I like it!
Awesome video! Going to lowes first thing in the morning to get mine made! Thanks
This was a great idea. I just finished something similar, inspired by this video. Nice job, sir.
Great job I just might steal your Spray Booth. Dave, NJ
Great video! Great design especially how you offset the fan. I've been looking for a way to spray seal my projects without going outside. Thank you!!
Simple and efficient -- thank you for this!
This is a really great build! Does the size of the filter matter?
Not really just as long as it's small enough to fit into the back of the booth, depending on what your dimensions are
awesome stuff! This is definitely what I needed to see to get myself started ASAP
Lots of thoughtful details, thanks!
Great work. Does it leave any color where the exhaust exits?
I checked and just a little dust on the inside of the vent that goes outside of the Garge. Non actually outside.
Looks good. I bought me a respirator off ebay for $20. Some of those paints are strong even with it on. I need to run me a vent duct like that. Is that a 71 Plymouth your getting ready to paint? Thanks.
Ordered my respirator off Amazon. Couldn't find any in stores
Mine would need to be around 5ft wide and def have filter and good air vacuum
Gotta say for an early effort not bad at all...........

i would use a Fan Regardless. Especially if you're using thinners. Which you will end up doing based on the different paints you use.
@@moesscalemodelbench9688 -Thanks for the quick response. Yup, I’ll do the fan. 👍
@@nja3224 NP happy building
Great video!! I built my own a few years ago and used an inline fan like they do for HVAC. But your fan and set up are great
Really nice! Thanks for sharing!
That is awesome!! Nicely done!
Thank you! Love your attention to detail.
Pretty cool man! Thanks for sharing with us! 👍

Some 1 inch square blocks behind your filter will make it utilize all of its surface area instead of directly in front of the fan
Airbrush enclosure looks great were did you the filler from
Filler? Are you referring to the filter?
@@moesscalemodelbench9688 yes please
Just a regular filter you can get from lowes, walmart.
Great job. I like it. Thanks
subbed just for the build good stuff m8
How does the fan hold up with acrylic paints, metallic acrylics and the Lacker paints
Love it! Thanks for sharing
Thank again for you time. I like this idea 👍
great job!
Clever - I like it.
Great idea👍😊
Cardboard, tape, a filter (or 2), and a decent enough fan to move a ton of air.
Its that simple
Great idea man! Love it..
Thanks! This gave me ideas for my own plans.
Great video. Gave me some great ideas for building one.
great piece of info, thanks a lot
The LED lights FTW!!
Very very helpful, thank you!!!
A vacuum chamber would help making a larger sucktion area.
soon as i heard your black voice i subbed lol. thanks bro
This looks really good.
Nice job it gives me ideas for the 2 I need to build
Does solvent based paint eat away at the foam? Is that what the painters tape is for?
No Sir. The Painters tape even gave it an extra layer of protection. The guy I gave it to still uses it and it's still sturdy
