@@AugmentGuitars Cool. I've been meaning to make something proper for spraying my guitars (I make them from scratch) but never got round to it. I'm in the process of moving house and I'm going to have plenty of room at my new place to build a proper spray booth like this. I look forward to your construction videos. Thanks again. 👍
@@johnniemnemonic73 Awesome! Yeah I put this off for many years lol.... Just didn't want to take the time off from builds/other work. Finally decided to do it and so far I am happy with the outcome. NP! Keep an eye out for the video. 😊
Thanks Lou! Unfortunately I was limited by the booth dimensions… I wanted to make the holder bigger but I also wanted it to be able to spin freely without hitting the filters. The only compensations I can really do is to make the 3/4” pipe that attaches to the guitar a bit shorter. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@mikeydep89 I released a video a few months back detailing the whole build process (link below). More videos to come on the booth! 😊 czcams.com/video/QbUs2tUbyeo/video.html
Hey Ian! Thanks for watching. The fan needs to be explosion proof as a lot of finishes are highly flammable. Explosion proof fans are sealed so there is no chance of spark to ignite the finish particles in the air. If you are only spraying non-flammable water based finishes, you can most likely get away with using a regular fan. Hope that helps!
Thank you! Check out this in depth video where I go through the whole build process. Parts list is in the description. 😊 czcams.com/video/QbUs2tUbyeo/video.html
Great setup. Any chance you have the instructions for the guitar holder? The link in the pinned in the group is not working (I joined the group already)
I haven’t watched all of your posts on this yet. What exhaust filtration do you use the be safe for your neighbors when spraying nitrocellulose? Thx.. Are the exhaust vapors non toxic by the time they get through both filters?
Hi Michael! I used a MERV 13 HVAC filter as the final filter before it exhausts outside of my basement. MERV 13 filters a lot of the small particles out (google MERV 13 to see the ratings) so only a small amount gets released into the air. If you are worried about exhausting out where people will be present, you can always get a stronger filter. HEPA filters up to 99%+ of particles so that could be an option for you. Also here is a link to my spray booth build series which contains more info: czcams.com/video/QbUs2tUbyeo/video.html
Big shoutout to Frederick Ellis in the Brotherhood of Guitar Finishing Facebook group for the work piece holder design! Check out his explanation of the jig here (must join group): bit.ly/3Ia18fn
Great video! I have been thinking of doing something similar, but I am wondering if I would need to do something more (like an enclosed space) to better control things like dust and other contaminants. Have you run into this problem with your setup?
Thanks Michael! An enclosed and filtered space would be ideal, but unfortunately for me I didn't have the space. 🙁 What I did is bought a small hanging workshop air filtration system that I run for a few hours before I spray. Seems to help clean the air a bit. I also make sure to mop my basement floors regularly so I'm not kicking dust up when I am spraying. So far it seems to work great but I do get some dust specs from time to time. Overall happy with it! Also I am going to be making a full spray booth build video here soon. Just need to finish the drawers and get some clips of me spraying some guitars. 😊 Here's the air filter I bought: amzn.to/3cXJW1d
Thank you! I made another video explaining the whole build, along with the fan. Here it is: czcams.com/video/QbUs2tUbyeo/video.html Here is the fan I used (same one, different sellers): - VEVOR ATEX Certified 12" Explosion Proof Exhaust Fan: bit.ly/3EOAaIE - Mophorn Explosion Proof Fan 12 Inch: amzn.to/47mkpX9
Thank you! I am still filming the full build video, just have to get some clips of me spraying some builds lol. It details how I built the booth and what I used. For the doors, I used 3/4" plywood and for the hinges I used flush door hinges from Lowes. They look almost identical to these ones: amzn.to/3Ri5sME
@@AugmentGuitars 🤜 man, thanks! I thought it was that but you did such a clean job spraying the blue on the doors they almost looked metal lol. Looking forward to the video!
@@m7bassworks613 Thanks!! I tried to do a good job finish sanding and painting lol. Wanted it to look nice in my workshop instead of just a massive plywood cabinet haha. I have to get through a few builds and then im going to pick it back up and finish the below storage section. Expect the video to be live in a few months! Also I follow you on IG and I love your work!!!
I need this … Do you know if it work with hlvp gun and oil base paint ? How many guitars you can paint before starting to see that the box container is no holding no more ?
The setup should work! It might be a bit stinky (if it’s in your basement) but you can close the doors for a bit so it dissipates. I’ve done it a few times for some high VOC poly finishes. I’ve sprayed around 5 projects so far and I need to change to paper lol… It’s pretty easy with the double stick tape. As far as the internal filter goes, I’m actually not too sure. I’ll check it periodically and if I notice that the fan is struggling/not exhausting as much, i will change it. Honestly the first filter collects most of the spray.
@@AugmentGuitars i did my paintingbooth but i made it with wood frame it was less expensive but works very good ...do you ahve an email so i can send you some pictures of my project

I can't wait to see some paint in there! Let's get it broken in ! I know a guy who could use your service 😉
lol you know it!! 😂
Yeah that is great, just what I need to make. I’ll look out for your videos on how you made it. Thanks for this. 👍
No problem! Hopefully I can upload here within a few months. 😊

@@FTWBIFY6667 Perfect, thank you!
Very nice! We’ll done
Thanks Ray! I'll have the full build video out sometime next week. Editing it as we speak!
Nice setup ! If you ever make another jig holder ,I suggest
you do it so the center of the guitar is center with the pivot , works a lot better .

@@AugmentGuitars Wel I must say that I love your setup ! Way better than mine !
I pray outside with bugs hitting the nitro ! haha ! Oh well !
Hey we’ve all been there!!! Mine was in my dusty garage with the windows open 🤣🤣
@@AugmentGuitars Hihi ! 😄
Looking good!
Cool system!
Thanks Damien! 😊
Man. Nice booth.. but really wanted to see the exhaust & filter setup inside.
Thank you! I can take some photos and send them your way if that would help. Let me know. 🙂

Love this! What kind of fan you use an an intake fan ?
Thanks! Here's the full build details here. I describe the fan I used too.

If you open the four doors and attach them with magnets put canvas roof and canvas back wall ... It will not better?
That’s a good idea!! Some more shielding is always welcome lol. I’ll look into it 🔎
