I made a booth out of an old tote. Ran a piece of all thread through the top to hang things on, hooked the ground to that. I could spray my project then sweep the powder up to use again.

I needed a small oven to heat the parts so I found an old mail box cut a hole in the back and mounted an old hot plate in the hole, added a couple bolts for legs.

Flipped it over added some old insulation and covered it with aluminum tape, Drilled a few holes and put welding rod through it to hand parts on. Hung a thermometer in it and it was ready. I used that till I needed a bigger one.

I was driving down the road and someone had thrown an old cook stove away. It had no burners but still had the bottom heating element so I hauled it home and used it to heat bigger projects.
