Some interesting metal working tools

That is pretty amazing. They even make a desktop version.

they were at SEMA last year, got a price for them to make quarter panel for my 1964 Buick wagon. $1000... frankly, just waiting to get the car back out to work on and I'll have them build a pair. It really is a game changer. Also in talks to buy the equipment to create a west coast company (they're in Florida).

Of course, all this got put on hold (again) because we're moving to Sandpoint Idaho and where we bought we're going to build a house and shop....
 
Well, I don’t envy any one moving. Good luck with the move.


On another note, I bought a small powder coat oven and started to look into some videos.

Spraying the powder is messy and makes me wonder about the health hazards. I think I’d want a shed or place outdoors to spray the powder.

 
I've seen powder coating done. That is a LOT of overspray! The floor is green after this.

Yeah, there are other videos showing how to modify the two available entry level guns.

I liked his final results on the beadlocks, so linked that.

Seriously though, it does look like a health hazard unless you make a booth or shed.

On one video, a guy preheats the parts to get powder to stick in tight spaces.
 
“Powder coating is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to paint a surface. There's no solvent, negligible VOCs, no heavy metals, no hazardous waste.”
 
That was posted on Reddit. Looks like most of the health issues are breathing the dust.
