iwannapowdercoat2,

I know of a gentleman that is selling a very nice one used, but just like new, here on the forum. It is a great price also.

Check out Superglide56's post in the used items for sale section.

It might be able to be dis-assembled for shipping if you are interested.

If you don't want to purchase an assembled one, then building your own is always and option, but it could become more costly in the long run considering all of the little pieces that would go into a project like that.

Keep in mind that you will need a nozzel, hoses, fittings, gloves, door w/ hinges, seals, window, etc. Plus all of the sheetmetal and tooling to form it with.

Best of luck,

You might want to check out TP tools. Not only will they have all the parts to make a cabinet, they also sell a booklet on how to build one out of 2 sheets of plywood. I plan on doing the plywood one, but I needed something sooner, so I made one from a plastic 55 gallon barrel. Just keep your eyes open, and you'll be surprised what you might find that would work.....

I saw a person build a large cabinet out of a used home heating oil tank. He cut it around the middle. Put a flat grate in. Opened like a clam shell. Put a large viewing port in the top half. Seemed to work well for him. Just an idea. I bought my fro TP Tools and have been happy with it.
