Spray Booth, Dimple Table, Tool Cart
- Four more trips to home depot – aka airplane depot.
- Our big tool order from Cleaveland arrived on Tuesday. This pretty much filled up the rest of our tool chests. It will be nice to have the tools on hand when we need them. The final items shipped Thursday and should arrive this coming Tuesday.
- Added work bench tops. Scott added 5/8” mdf to the top of the work benches. This way, Tanya can put drill holes, knife marks, etc. in it, and Scott can just replace it when it gets too ugly.
- Scott built a table for the c-frame dimple tool that rests on top of the work bench. The goal is to have a flat surface for the material to be resting on while we are dimpling it instead of having the sides hanging down onto the work bench. The table has two holes cut for the dimpler. The first is on the edge so that the dimple tool sits completely on the work bench. The second is in the middle and an extension was built for the work bench so the back of the dimple tool would rest on it.
- We built the spray booth. There is nothing canned about this booth. The frame is comprised of 1×2 boards hinged in the middle to allow for storage. The 4 panels are connected with hinges for easy breakdown – just remove the pins. We covered it with 6 mil plastic – look out, Tanya is a fiend with the staple gun. For ventilation, we have an a/c filter over the intake and a bathroom vent fan for exhaust (again, covered with an a/c filter). It takes less then 5 minutes to set up or tear down. Detailed plans are available here: primer spray booth plans.
- Another project for the week was to build a tool cart. The design idea came from the Craftsman tool catalogue. However, Scott knew he could improve on the original. He has gotten smart in his old age; notice the holes bored into the 2×4? It makes the cart much lighter. tool cart plans
- Plumbing for the air compressor. Scott is still anxiously waiting on his air compressor. To ensure the garage is ready for its arrival, we started to assemble the plumbing. Just one recommendation – Measure twice, cut once.
