Hi all
Ever since Sean so kindly sent me the airbrush at the end of last year, I've been wondering what to do about a spray booth, whilst I saved up my pennies for an air source.
The thought of having to save even more pennies for a spray booth was depressing. 
Then, two weeks ago, it proved necessary to have the fan in our bathroom shower replaced - not because it was faulty but because it wasn't quite string enough for our size of bathroom......at which point the little cogs in my head started to turn.....could I use it make my own spray booth?
A quick search of the internet suggested defintiely!!
However, I really don't do electrics - I can change a fuse, bulb or plug and strip some cable but that's my limit...which is yet again where Sean came to the rescue. A few private messages later I now feel confident in being able to build my own spray booth!!
As things currenly stand I was planning to make it out of wood, as it's reasonably cheap and is something my limited DIY skills can cope with - that said I have seen people hack clear plascic boxes around, although they don't look particularly robust.
My one issue as always is space - not having a permanent work room - so I was thinking of a design that would allow me to take it apart for easier storage, accepting I need to make sure I have good seals around any joins.
As always any ideas or thoughts from the experts out there are more than welcome - I will need them!!!
Fnally, below is a pic of the fan around which the booth will be based.
All the best.
