Spent the day finishing up the final details of the workbench. I installed the air regulators for the air brush and for a compressed air nozzle, this also includes a water trap. The compressor is in the basement under the shop. The spray booth has also been installed and is vented directly outside via the basement. I gave it a fresh coat of white paint to cover over the last few years of spray painting. I had the light on inside it for the pictures so it looks brighter than the sun in the shots.

An additional light was hung from a shelf, this will help illuminate the work area with fluorescent light, which seems to cast the best light for working under, very little shadows and fills in the area with light well.

With the major work on the bench complete all that is left is to unpack all my tools and supplies, which is a shame as the workbench will never look like this again. I am, after all, a slob.

  2. Smart idea adding the Masonite panel on the floor to protect the planks. Wonderful shop.

  3. Hi Michael,

    Thanks for the feedback! I didn’t have the heart to mess up the plank flooring with bits of scraps ground in under the wheels of my chair. Not to mention the obligatory spilled paint…
