I have scans of this article if anyone wishes me to send them. I had my brother (who happens to own a sheet metal fab company) build some for me. I actually have one of them for sale in the Nashville

Do any members have recommendations on the prudent capacity of the exhaust fan for a booth about 24" across, 18" high, and 18" deep? I'll have a fairly long exhaust line to the outside. Thanks for

I had priced that one out. If you have to purchase all the materials the fraction is around 3/5. I also did not think I could do a good enough job, plus it was unlikely to have happened in anything

Is there a time line somewhere that shows what dates what aspects of freight car construction were mandated out (or in)? Also when improvements such as the PS-1 became available. Sounds like a history

I have been using a standard 8" kitchen 'through the wall' exhaust fan for over 30-yrs. This has a pull chain to open and close the outside cover so it is well sealed for the cold weather in northern

Just another example of California and neighbors being on the advance leaving those in the east to catch up. Or put another way, some people and organizations needed a 2x4 to the head before they

Well, having done the window trick in several low-budget student apartments during my college days here in Saint Paul, the advanatges of outside venting, even in the middle of winter vastly outweight

The synchronous motors used in bathroom and kitchen fans do not have brushes so there is no danger of sparks; they are not a hazard regardless of vapor concentration. I have safely used a high

This Actually, bathroom fans are perfectly safe, as long as you make sure that they move enough air (I use 2 in my homebuilt hood). The supposed spark danger is not borne out by the chemistry. A

These are the plans I started with for my booth but then made them quite a bit larger because in addition to doing S scale trains my boys were heavy into 1/10 scale RC cars and I wanted to be able to

This won't work for everyone, but I've installed three different booths, venting through a basement window. Remove glass, replace with plywood that has a hole in the center for a dryer vent. My

Plans and instructions for building a paint booth from galvanized sheet metal were published in Model Railroader some years ago. A search of the trains index will provide the reference. A friend here

Doug is right. I built my own using scraps of 3/4 inch plywood for ends and Masonite for the other three sides. My first fan was inadequate but I found another that worked. Somewhere, and I no
