Still work in progress is the spray booth hood. This was manufactured from the remains of the chassis of a dishwasher that I took apart when it leaked all over the kitchen floor thinking it was a simple matter of a perished hose. It turned out the stainless steel casing had split so the dishwasher was scrapped but the 24swg side panels and the angle chassis looked as though they might come in handy one day. These panels had to be cut and bent to form approximate squares the top joining piece of aluminium was bent on my folder and pop riveted. The angle was used to stiffen the structure on the hypotenuse. Unfortunately I have run out of large enough offcuts of 9mm ply to fill in the other end.
I have yet to work out 1) how to exhaust the fumes from the hood out of the garage and 2) how to hang it from the ceiling so that it can be raised or lowered and 3) where to hang it so that it does not mask all the lighting in the booth part of the garage.
