W-- always wanted to design a
spray booth that we could use in
our own workshops. Spraying paints, stains,
and finishes is one of the best ways to improve
the look of a project. But there was always a
big challenge to address — most paints and
finishes were flammable, combustible prod-
ucts that really weren't all that healthy.
Well, dealing with all that in a home shop
is pretty impractical. A great alternative is to
use water-based paints, stains, and finishes.
These types of products have a number of
benefits. They're fast drying, easy to use, and
a great “green” alternative. However, you still
have to deal with overspray and odors. That's
where the roll-around finishing center shown
on the opposite page comes in. An exhaust
system takes care of the overspray by pulling
it through fiberglass filters. And a metal duct
attached to the system vents the odors outside
through a door or window. To leam more
about the finishing center, tur to page 14.
But therearealsosmallerscale projects in this
issue that provide big benefits in the shop, Be
sure to check out the bench vise stand, handy
sanding tote, and our classic sawhorses.
The stand on page 36 is a compact metal-
working station. But it’s built heavy and solid
to stand up to the typical sawing and pound-
ing tasks asked of a bench vise,
Finally, the sanding tote and sawhorses are
basic projects every shop needs. Once you
build them, you'll find yourself using them
every time you step into the shop.
