How To Make A Paint Spray Station,The Cheap way.

[Jamie S]

Hi, Spent an hour or so making this earlier.
It started off as just a bracket to hold my air regulator/water trap , but then I thought ,why not make a spray gun holder and a place to wrap the hose round , So here is what I came up with.
First of all I started off with a sheet of ally and cut a square out of it, like this:

I then bent a right angle on one end , using a large hammer.

Then used a hole cutter to cut the hole for the regulator/ water trap.

Then checked that the regulator was going to fit in the hole properly.

I then cut a hole for the gun to rest in and also cut 2 flaps out for the hose to rest against.

And the finally cleaned up the metal and assembled it on the wall. just like this:

Cheers Jenks.
A proper holder just for the regulator is about £20 so saved a fair bit.
The ally was free and I found the regulator upstairs in the garage.

Well done! Good to see people using a bit of initiative!

What else have you got in the pipeline?

[Fawbish]

Nice one, I like it when you can find a quick fix for something that would cost you.


Made meself a little stool on wheels, with a tool tray underneath - made it out of an old shelf unit, and nicked a few small wheels off a settee that was being thrown out, and some plywood -worked a bloody treat it did

I think I might make a tool tray tomorrow, and maybe a one piece seat/side panel thing for my trials bike.....

[ram_doom]

Thats actually quite cool. Maybe you should pursue a career as a fabricator, with a bit of training

I was gonna suggest the same as what virus said,

Something like thin sheet metal covering the internals of the box, and make it double the thickness of whatever wood youre using, maybe 10mm of mdf? (It may be heavier, but a damn site more durable)


Cool idea though mate. I take it youve already got a shot blaster?

The shot blaster could really come in handy if you needed to get information outta someone...

Right, my improvised base and one side , thanks dad for the loan of your stall (he doesn't know yet )
Still need to get some thin sheet steel and some play wood.
Going to have to wait for my gloves to arrive , oh and my shot blasting "unit" and a 25kg bag of shot blasting grit.

Looks good, but why do you need a regulator though ?

[Jamie S]

Hi , I made the shot blaster. I have been using it all day today with good results as well.
Here are some pictures.
