Hi all im new here(lurker for awhile) and have only been powder coating for a short time and only small parts in a regular household oven and love it and would now like to build a much bigger oven for the big stuff and figured id go big enough the first time so i wont be saying if i only had another inch or foot what ever it will be,even though at some time im sure i would have something to coat that even this size oven wont do,but you got to stop somewhere.
Here is my plan I want to build a oven that is 8x4x4 (what would be the better way to have it open and stand,8 up or 8 on the floor)and im going to make a divider so if the parts are smaller i can use half the oven so I want a dual system of some sorte and im not sure how to do it,but im sure that some of you guys do and have it done already ,with that been said what do I need for materials,like framing(angle)sides (sheet metal)but how thick?,insulation (house)or what to use?,elements (how many for each side or what ever)and all other parts needed to start this project.I have done some searching and have some ideas but would like to be sure of everthing i need so I dont leave anything out so guys please be percise on everthing i will need especially when it come to the heating and wiring parts as its not hard to build a box but if its not heating up and holding it, its no good right.As soon as i get my parts list i will go and find all thats needed and get to it .I will post pics of my progress for all to see and so on.
Thanks inadvance for all your help ,this site is great and i have been a lurker for to long.
