"Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it."

Wilfred Peterson says:

"A man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints."

Steve Martin says:

"When your hobbies get in the way of your work - that's OK; but when your hobbies get in the way of themselves... well..."

Dale Carnegie says:

"Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto."

T. Chris Lim says:

"If you think you're playing too much, PLAY MORE! Remember, there is no game over."

HobbyOwYeah - Custom Spraybooth

I’ve finally created my very own custom spray booth. Using a couple of cheap materials, I was able to design a very simple spray booth – and finally I can start/continue learning painting using my airbrush.

Materials used:

1. iBox (or any similar plastic container


2. Exhaust Fan (Be sure to check the specs of the fan as sometimes it may ignite the flammable fumes coming from the paint)


3. Switch

4. Electrical wire and plug

5. Washing machine hose

6. PET bottle

The assembly is pretty straightforward. First, I setup the wiring system by connecting the plug and cord and placing them on top of the container.

Cut a square hole at the back of the plastic container just big enough to fit the exhaust fan assembly.

Setup the proper exhaust position. I chose to keep the exhaust vent in upward position.

Connect the power cables to the exhaust fan.

Place the top of the PET bottle as a coupler on the exhaust vent.





Seal it with masking tape.





And there you have it. A simple custom spray booth!



Simple and cost efficient. Total amount was less than Php 2,000.00.

Thanks for dropping by. Have a nice day.
