Default shop finishing area

I am not sure that this is the best place to post this but I couldn't find a better forum.

These pictures represent the finishing area of my rather messy shop (garage). It is on my workbench which is next to the garage door to the right. I leave the door open whenever I am finishing and put a small rotary fan on the floor to blow any escaping spray out the door and onto my wife's car in the driveway. Only kidding, I move the car. The gluing-finishing tray is built into my bench and has a piece of 3/8 mesh attached to spacers on the bottom. The spray booth is an old carton and I wear disposable gloves to make cleanup easier. The drying area is attached to the front edge of my wood storage shelves. I use bent paper clips to hold the pieces and hang them from the strings. If I have very large things to dry, I use some old band saw blades, loosely tied in the middle, on top of the bench. The small teeth do not leave any marks on the pieces.

Thanks for the ideas George. Someone gave me a box of large paperclips and I didn't know what to use them for. Now I know.

You have the same model and size spray booth that I do. I have used the paper clips but on a wire strung across the shop up near the ceiling.

G'day George,
A nice and simple set up you have there.
I like the idea of the mesh and a special drawer for gluing.
I also have filed away that idea of the band saw blades.

Looks a lot like the spray booth I just got rid of. Had to break in a new one ya know, mine was like a clogged artery already. I have a piece of wire hanging from an overhead rack to keep all the nice little ornaments as they dry. The only real problem with it is the way I have it now, it gets in my way some when it is not in use.

I searched high and wide until I found myself a high-tech spray booth like yours that said "made in the USA". Just bought a new Skil table sander that I didn't notice til I got it home (and mounted to my table) that came with a HT spray booth stamped 'made in China".
