Mines pretty big- I call it “outdoors”. Seriousely though, you can make a cheap one out of a cardboard box,a cheap floresant light, a 4"-6" computer type fan and some flexable dryer duct hose and the most important thing-DUCT TAPE.

There was a long thread on this same subject within the past few weeks, with many ideas, suggestions, and photos. Rather than rehashing over the same subject, please check it out here:

thanks for the help!!! :slight_smile:

Brian,

here’s a few pics of mine. I got the local hardware store to cut the wood for me. That way it was square. They did it for free. I have less then $65.00 in it and it is big. If you need the exact ,easurements just let me know?




From most of the info that I’ve seen on this forums or via google, most booths are vented toward the top and not the back of the booth. Is there any reason why you wouldn’t want to vent from the back or side? I am thinking of having the van mounted beind the furnace filter at the back of the booth. I know this will restrict air flow to some extent but I would think that you want air to move through the booth from back to front not from front to top.

BTW, 8500HPGASTURBINE your booth looks to somewhere between 2-3 feet wide. How big is that sucker?
