Chris.. I can't wait until you build your own Plek Machine out of duct tape, a rasberry pi, and a Dremel tool.
Lol
Your knack for overcoming issues is inspiring. I've been limited to spraying outdoors (solvent-based) during the 5-6 months a year that temps, pollen, wind, and humidity permit.
I don't do well in conceiving solutions, but I sure know one when I see one!
Simple but effective 👌 great work man. Appreciate the videos.
That's a wonderful idea. I've been using one of those pop-up small spray tents with a box fan, but just too many overspray issues. This looks way better!
Simple, inexpensive and effective spray booth venting!
You inspired me to go down the Solarez I can’t believe it’s not Lacquer path and I am using wipe on processes. No spray or overspray. That fits the footprint of my basement shop under my residence. Venting a spray booth in my basement a bridge too far. I also adapted your downdraft table design for sanding and it works great! I get many excellent tips from your videos. Many thanks!
I have been building my own little spray booth and I may have “borrowed” a couple ideas and expanded on some others you presented. Thanks for the great content and your guitars look awesome.
Was waiting for this one.Now if my Armor bench will just make its way through the supply chain meltdown, I can do the same thing. Agree with the need to do the guitars with neck attached. Please do a video on what you come up with. Thanks!
Please make a compact spinning guitar body stand to fit in that booth. I know you will have some great ideas
Been fiddling with something similar! Using an ikea portable vinyl closet thing for $12 that got a square cut out of the back. Zips shut to keep dust to a minimum and flash off before moving. It’s tight tho, but can hang a set neck.
Thanks for all these DIY vids they’re great inspiration!
I thought about using a portable camping shower tent, but they're kind of pricey.
Sweet
Great run through of your booth jig, Chris. This reminds me of the spray mount booths the ad agencies I used to work for had for mounting presentations. I know I could figure out how to build one of these from your video, but if you added a plan for it, it would make it simpler...and I could continue to support your RUclips efforts.
I used to be a graphic artist. That where I got the idea.
Hi, I just watched your spray paint booth video (I am a subscriber and try to catch your videos as often as I can). I know you do new guitar builds but I am just getting started with building guitar bodies. I plan to learn more as I go and hopefully do entire new guitar builds.. I will be retiring in the next few years and thought I’d give this a try as a hobby. I don’t know if you have any suggestions for a project I am starting. I bought a 1980’s Korean Bullet Stratocaster that is in good working condition, with a poor finish, and it was cheap. I want to strip the old poly finish and refinish with a new flamed maple stained drop top. I am having trouble getting the old finish, very hard poly finish, off. Any suggestions how I can strip the body finish? Thanks Bryan
Hmmm...wooden lazy susan with some quick release cam work piece holder?
You can buy an old furnace blower at any HVAC contractor for a song.
👍👍👍
Another great video.Thank you. I notice that the CNC router in the background is not your home made one. I should be interested to know why you changed it?
Sorry, I missed the video of your new X-carve pro.
This will tell you why: ruclips.net/video/Tpd4MUomrGY/видео.html
Great! the air that comes out from the hose has some paint that could die your floor in the garage entrance or not?
So far it hasn't. The filter seems to catch it.
Have you thought of some LED lighting for inside the booth to help with the spray process?
I have a clamp on LED light that works pretty good.
Maybe make it 6ft tall x 5ft wide x 4ft deep and build a rotating jig on a stand using pvc?
Already made a jig.
@@HighlineGuitars nice. Love to see what ya came up with
@@r.llynch4124 This version is for bodies that have a set-in neck. I have a different arm for bolt-in neck bodies: ruclips.net/video/wJg0152UvKM/видео.html
Are your finishes water based or water Borne? Water Borne still has solvent in it and water based doesn’t
Water-based.
@@HighlineGuitars 👌
Would it be ok to use dust collector to vent the air outside?
Yes, as long as it pumps out at least 800 cfm.
@@HighlineGuitars Thanks Chris! I was hoping not to have to buy more machinery but the bigger issue is running out of space! Any chance you might show us how/when/where etc that you clean your spray gun(s) of different materials such as catalyzed/poly/water-based vs lacquer?
@@fat-hand I only use water-based and clean in a utility sink. Not something I would ever want to video.
@@HighlineGuitars Thanks Chris! I will do my best to disassemble gun according to manual and clean after each use. I am using Crystalac products per your suggestions and I am sure will go well. Thanks again for all the great videos.
A local Luther friend insists that the exhaust will draw dust from the shop into the open front of the booth. Does that happen?
No. It would need to be a million times more powerful than it is for that to happen.
One question I have is not really related to the spray booth, which I love. I am building another guitar and my last one is just a cut out blank. I am still confused of this centerline thing. everything I see or read says to use the glue line but what if I can't or don't want to? I just wish I could get a more detailed reason on this or a link to a good tutorial.
Every guitar has a centerline, however it doesn't necessarily need to be at the glue line, granted you're using a 2 piece body. I think from an aesthetic and ease of reference standpoint, the centre glue seam makes the most sense and is the cleanest looking (if your finish is transparent or translucent). But if you think of a 1 or 3 piece body, the centerlines are definitely not at a glue joint and there's no issues there.
@@gbish6906 OK, I cant use the glue line due to knots in the body blank and it will be painted so where do I start? All the videos and lessons I looked at say to start at the neck pocket, well, I don't have one because I have to have the centerline. It's like going in circles chasing my tail. Thank you for that bit of info!
@@Viktory2k1 I assume you are using a template that you will rout against. Your template should have a center line. Place your template on your body blank to find which parts of the wood you actually want on your guitar. From there, you reference the centre line on your template, and mark that on the body blank at the top and bottom. You probably want to pencil the entire perimeter at this stage too. Use a straight edge to connect the 2 marks you made. And theres your centerline
@@gbish6906 Thank you and I get that part but I have no stencil to go by unless I make one by eye, it is a dimebag darrel clone and I got it on ebay as junk and my other one is a draco look alike that I cut out as best I can with no plans. Thats the issue I am having, making the centerline with out any real plans or stencils.
@@Viktory2k1 you first need to start with a proper template. If you can find one online for what you want to build, great, you can print it out to full scale, glue it to some MDF and do your best to get as close to the line as possible. If you need to modify it to exactly what you want, you can do that too
