Ladies and Gentlemen,
Feast your eyes on this beauty. I name it the OSHA safe 2000! :-) I finally finish building this baby. It's my second project to improve my work environment. So so long paint thinner... I'll miss you but I know I'd be a healthier man
Total cost me about $30 USD. Goodtimes!

Looks useful Benjamin. But you´re gonna be sitting in front of its only light source. You may want to drill a small hole in the roof and add a small lighting system .. preferably with a removable cover that can be washed clean!

Great size and I am jealous.
I had two thoughts: 1) Consider placing some sort of air filter over your fan so it won't get clogged over time from the overspray it sucks up. Filters would be cheaper to replace. 2) Make sure the motor is safe with flammable vapors. Some type of sealed motors are used that I have read about on other threads about spray booths. That is assuming you will be spraying with something other than water based paint.

Thank you all who share my joy!
Frank:
I'm planning to install a flourecent tube kit on top of the box. I will use seran wrap to wrap the cover of the light tube. So if the paint get to it, I just toss the wrap out and replace another one!
Brian:
LOL... I dont think im going to embarrass myself further. You see, it's just a box with a bathroom fan screw up. The fan is connected to a silver flexible duct and the duct leads outside of the window behind the box... Very ghetto. LOL
Joe:
oops... I'm not sure if the motor is flame proof or not. This is a bathroom fan with some level of water resisitance. I built it for the purpose of spraying laquer and automotive clear coat. Hmmm...
