Title: SPRAY BOOTH BUILD-A-LONG
Post by: Teagus on May 17, 2010, 10:39:00 PM
Scored this spray booth on CR list. Had to modify it to fit my bow holding fixture. Stepson showed up Sunday and big progress was made. Got the light in and welded up the cradle to hold the fan and motor.

This turbine purrs. I thought it would sound like a jet taking off.

The bow is held by 2 sliding clamps on a square aluminum tube. The clamps have living hinges (soft plastic) that flex. They work with ongbows or recurves. The base fixture rotates and has a 30 degree spring-loaded index on the right side. the left side holder for the square tube is spring-loaded so the square tube and the bow can be removed and set into a vertical drying fixture on the outside of the booth. My machinist is making up 5 more sets of clamps for a total of 6 bows at a time. This could be a long one boys. It is heading to Fuller-plast and jam gun insanity. Hi Marty!
