Loading ...I finish my pens and most other small turnings with spray lacquer. I built this spray booth to try and control the over spray, make it easier to handle the items while spraying and give them a dust free environment to dry in.
You can click on any of the images to see a larger version.
I turned a number of these holders to hold the pen while I am spraying it. I turned them from some pen blanks. The tenon at the end is 1/4″.
The floor of the spray booth has a number of 1/4″ holes drilled in it. The tenon of the holder fits in the hole and once the sliding door of the spray booth is closed, the pens can dry in a dust free environment.
The upper part of the spray booth has a circular piece of scrap plywood mounted on a Lazy Susan mechanism. The plywood has a 1/4″ hole drilled in the center of it. I also placed a small mark at the edge of the plywood so I would have a visual reference that I had fully rotated the piece while spraying.
This is a shot of the spray booth with the sliding door in the up position. The spray booth also gave me a space to store all my spray cans and glue bottles.
