Jack and the Spray Booth
Jack, reading this & trying with no success to visualize it, I think -- PERFECT project for a pod cast... J.

It will be hinged at the front top of the booth to swing up back out of the way when not wanted. It will when vertical leave a 6 to 8 inch gap at the bottom, enough room for me to reach under it to work with my acid bath or do small spray jobs. The back will have a baffle with holes all over it (I will try pegboard) to keep the velocity high at each opening and well spread out. I hope to get by with a bathroom exhaust fan. 15 years ago I used to have a home made booth framed up like a closet and covered with drywall. Built in was a benchtop and a 24 inch through the wall fan with closeable louvers on the outside. The front was about 5 feet wide and had rigid plywood panels that could close off most of the front opening. I stood in front of the gap between panels to shoot paint. I could move to the left or right by shifting the panels and still keep the front opening small with good velocity past my head. I'd love to hear others ideas.
