Booth on a Budget
Booth on a Budget!! A spray booth is a luxury most woodworkers want - whether their shop is home-based or located in an out-building.

Whether you are a hobbyist or in the spray finishing profession you should also have spare parts and accessories on hand. For some having an extra spray gun is a necessity.
