I built an oven out of a metal trash can and a 110 single burner element. It has a bbq temp gauge in the lid, one big rack to put stuff on and hooks in the underside of the lid to hang stuff from. It works really well. $35 total investment in the oven and I use a $75 dollar harbor freight powder coat gun.
That’s awesome! I started powder coating just hobby stuff and parts to a CJ5 I built. I needed a bigger oven, so I built one out of old highway signs (throw always, I didn’t take signs down) and an old oven a friend gave me. Then I needed a longer one so I used an old school locker and ended up with three ovens with less than $200 in them. I powder coated parts to the friend who gave me the signs and oven for his 69’ Cameo he shows. Word got around and now I make a few hundred bucks a month powder coating odds and ends for people. It’s my play money, but what the hell. I like your build, great video!
Did you just use the normal convection fan in the regular spot in the middle off the oven? I'm using a doner convection oven but im worried about the convection fan blowing powder off but high temp blowers are more than I want to spend
Suggestion: Add a SLIDE to your center mount where you hang your parts in the oven. That way you can attach your powdered part to the hook faster and more easily. You wont be losing as much heat from the oven since you will be shutting the door faster. Just my $.02
Congratulations on another successful project. It's really rewarding constructing something yourself that works just as well as a commercial unit, but costs a fraction of the price.
looks better than the oven i built. I went cheap with two free ovens, just cut the top of one, bottom of the other stacked and welded. i can bake on the lower unit and broil on the top heats up in 5 min
Dave, I built my own powder coating oven many years ago. sheet metal welded frame, angle iron frame for the door to seal against. household oven element and controls. Rockwool insulation from McMaster Carr. Mine is 3'X3'X2' love it! wheels, suspension parts, crossmembers, but not FC
Man, that is amazing ! You've given me hope to build my own oven now cos I've got a tonne of stuff I can powder coat rather than pay the expensive rates they charge these days and avoid the rubbish rattle can finish. Powder coating is THE best and most durable finish you can have on automotive stuff as well as other industrial bits. I also have a BMX frame I'd love to do myself too !
Made a oven using an office cabinet measuring 1100mm x 1000 and used 50mm steel stud wall framing and rockwool insulation. Picked up a free home oven for 1 element, 2 lights. I build a control panel using a PID and SSD relays, amp meters for 2 elements and purchased 1 more element. Works a treat. You did a great job of yours but use a PID to control the temp as home oven temp controls are not accurate.
Awesome build! Looks like the perfect size. If you want to bring it to the next level on the cheap, replace the oven controller with a Temperature PID, solid state relay(SSR) and temperature probe. Also pick up a convection fan from an old oven to circulate the air and your temps will be more consistent throughout. The PID setup will keep your temps wayyyy more accurate than the oven controller, and you can pick up the packages that include the PID, SSR, and temp probe for a lot less than you think. 8-) Keep up the good work man!
i saw my soninlaw build one out of an old freezer using electric oven controls after removing the freezer compressor and other non essential stuff. seemed to work well for him.
You should put a cage/mesh around the elements. Also the oven control will very the temp it won’t hold them at the highest temp. You need to ditch the fancy electric control and just have a simple switch set up for heat. Most parts will be baked at the same temp so really on need low and high (this can be done by wiring the elements in series or parallel)
came out great dave. if i could suggest one thing it would be to put a fan inside. That way all the oven is the same temp plus parts will come out more uniformed.
Thanks for the inspiration to get off MY butt and finish my powder coating oven! I've been procrastinating because mostly I am unsure of the electrical works. I'm good with my hands, welding, mechanics building but wiring just baffles me and the older I get the harder it is to see 🤪. However, on the temperature side of your build, if you haven't done so already, my research has a solution. Use a ceiling fan. Get smaller blades, mounted in the bottom, motor on the outside, fan on the inside. Ceiling fans run slowly forever, circulating the air giving you perfect even temperature. Simple, one tiny hole through the box with a small fan! Thanks again, Tim
You really need a PID controller to help you maintain a constant controlled temperature. I built a similar powder coating oven last year the PID co roller is a game changer.
Nice build, one suggestion Instead of that cheap Insulation you put on that oven I would go out and get HVAC 2" ductboard and some aluminum tape to increase the efficiency.
Also to make it stick to the side of the Oven use 3M spray glue. Spray both the oven and the duct board Let it stand for about 20 to 30 seconds to tack up and then place the duck board onto the sheet metal
Your oven definitely looks better then mine haha I used steel stud and mines a 3' cube. I started with my elements just like you had on the top and bottom but ended up changing them and mounted one on each side at the buttom. As well as I put a convection fan in. The regulation from the top to buttom was like 70° is some spots. With the elements on the sides and a fan in there the relation is about 10°
Excellent job! But you need to ditch the oven control and use something like an AGPtEK Dual Display Digital Programmable Temperature Control TA4-SSR, Amazon has it for about $28, it has over temp alarms and built in sold state relays. Chuck full of features
Very nice setup man!! I've been using a standard oven for a few years. The limits on what I can fit really sucks. I've always thought about building one using the old ovens parts. This just sealed the deal for me. Awesome job man!
Great build. Only thing I dont like about it is the top element.. Id keep the thermo coupler towards the top maybe 3 or 4 inches from the top like that but move the top element to a dual bottom element. Could help with the inconsistent tempratures youd get off it that top element so close to the thermo coupler I would think it would kick it out too easily. Other than that good build thank you.
I’ve watched this three times now. I built one using metal studs and it just wasn’t solid enough. I’ll be going to pickup tubing today and get my frame welded up. Maybe if you get bored you could drop a video explaining the actual wiring of this oven. That would be awesome.
Cool oven, building one day..I'll probably mount a small fan outside the oven with the blades on inside to distribut the heat some. (Making sure I don't blow the powder paint off the part of course.).
Nice job man! I live in the netherlands and have a tiny shed where I basically plan on doing the same stuff! I already got a nice compressor, a powdercoating set-up and a used small kitchen oven. I still have to buy a sandblasting cabinet and then I can start powdercoating valvecovers and control arms for my friends! I also tried messing with derusting by submerging metal objects in vinegar but the moment I take it out it instanly rusts again. Have to figure something out for that too. I wish I had as much space as you, I’d definitely build my own oven too!
just a tip put a clear coat on it last a lot longer and shines better too also check out pid temp controllers there pretty cheap and work great i also made 2 racks that slide on angle iron right at the top so you can load all the parts to the racks and swap as you shoot the powder
Oh this kind of comment drives professionals nuts . I have a beautiful wood shop "im a cabinet maker" and when people Say shit like " oh the things Incould build" I think "the things you could fuck up"
Sweet video.... I modified a regular oven to hold a 24” part ..... currently looking for another free curbside oven so I can stack em and weld em together! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
lol i started with an oven that i made a box that sits on the open oven door and would give you 2x the space! but look into pid temp controllers when you go to upgrade your oven. there cheap and work good at holding the temp
Good idea Terry, I was going to the same with an old one my parents have. Make sure you have the refrigerant captured; there is bound to be places around you that will do it for free (that already recycle fridges) or for a low price. I think I'm going to turn the one I have into a worm farm (ha ha!) and build a larger homemade oven to be able to do much larger pieces for an experimental airplane I've just started.
@@michaelz6870 the ex-wife was going to give me one but I didn't have room for it so it went to scrap. after I get my garage built whenever they give me the permit that'll be one of the projects that I will do
Thanks for showing that. I always wanted to build one, but they take up so much room, and I do not need to use them often enough to justify the space loss. But, you are correct in that they take so long to get done as powder coaters are always booked out, and it is never convenient to wait as time is precious and scarice too. Now, if i build a new shop, then maybe... (grin) "Honey, I need to build a new shop for my powder coating machine" -Because, why would i build a small building when I may as well build a bigger building I can use for other things too!
The recommended maximum temperature for long-term exposure of galvanized steel is 392°F (200°C). At higher temperatures, the zinc coating on the steel can melt and vaporize, releasing toxic zinc oxide fumes. Zinc oxide fumes can be invisible and can have harmful health effects if inhaled in large quantities or over a long period of time. Symptoms of zinc poisoning can include: Yellowish fumes, Zinc oxide particulates, and Lead oxide
You should just replace the oven controls with a cheap PID controller. You could get way more consistent temps, and not have to worry about temperature readout.
It looks like you need a draft control area when applying the coating... So use a fan behind some filters and spray in front of the filters. Other than that it looks great to me.
Do a big plate of cookies, no joke, see how even that oven heats, you would be surprised how most ovens don't heat evenly everywhere, you might find you don't have enough elements.
Love the video, wish you would provide a parts list so we can do this at home. Also, maybe instead of speeding up the video when making it, explain measurements and what you are doing.
Most folks measurements are going to be different than his are so there’s no sense in explaining his measurements. Figure out where your gonna put it and use it and how big are the objects your going to coat. That’s the size your oven will be. No sense in making a 4’x8’x6’h oven to coat big items and burn tons of electric when your only gonna powder coat pocket watches. Everything you need to completely build this at home is already given in the video. I do mean literally everything
Actually the wire should all be High Temp rated- to at least the highest temp you need plus maybe 10%. It's for your fire protection; I've had two friends go through their garages burning up; the lost tools. projects, bits and pieces amount to a massive set beck- also your home owner's insurance may not be any help if you can't demonstrate the oven was "code safe". Great project- and one that could do enough damage to get some if not all powder coaters to be more reasonable.
I recommend you to pre heat your parts after you de greace them and just coat them directly out of the oven while still hot. then just toss them back in.
When it is running and at temperature, how hot is the outside? Can you lay your hand on it and not get burnt or too hot to keep your hand there? If you don't have any outside issues, then you did good...
so cool. question -> can you hypothetically make a giant powder coating oven by using the "guts" of several ovens (and wiring them to one single control panel)?

I like how you just come up and say: "I'm gonna build this", and frickin get it done! ...You're a real inspiration Dave!
have a look at the workshop set up and equipment. the every day do it yourselfer dosnt have that set up.
torkan2 thats the case with most of these DIYer channels.
I built one similar and i used a convection oven fan to get even heating. It made a big difference. FYI
Excellent idea Paul I wanted to build one about the same with that he built but twice as high

Are there specific heating elements you need to run the PID controller?
@@cskiles It makes no difference. The PID controller just turns the heating elements on and off to keep a consistent temp.
Nice bud, I’ve been wanting to build one for all the powder coating I need done. Think I’m going to move forward on it now
Nice job Dave. I've been watching videos on this subject all morning so imagine my surprise finding out you had a how to video on the subject.
Hopping on this diy powder coating bandwagon and giving my thanks Dave. Much appreciated.
No large oven is the reason I do not power coat yet. great idea - add this to the project list. thanks.
straight to the point on making a decent oven... best video yet.!
i saw my soninlaw build one out of an old freezer using electric oven controls after removing the freezer compressor and other non essential stuff. seemed to work well for him.
If you weld some standoffs and then mount the oven racks to it, you have infinite mounting points for hanging stuff!
You should put a cage/mesh around the elements.
Also the oven control will very the temp it won’t hold them at the highest temp.

Take two house ovens, cut opposing sides and hook together. Im still working on the door
I also seen one guy using the large burners mounted on the side to jump heat, once it reached temp he was able to turn them off. Thanks great video.

Very cool.. I'm just curious what type of metal the red sheet is? Painted or pre painted from your local yard? Or maybe recycled from something else?
Would’ve been better to mount the heating element to bottom as opposed to top? Because heat rises and it’ll be easier to mount projects for baking?

Would be good if you could do a sand blast cabinet that's bigger than normal too
You can use silicone pipe for a door seal
Yup, you got me at 12:53 with the messenger notification. Made me look.
Might pick up a stove first but need to find out how to sit everything in without messing up the coat?
And what do you stop the old paint off.
im also building a oven for powder coating soon , thanks for the video!! but can you supply the fab shop?????? hahaha nice setup bud
try your local metal shop some are cool
This is a AWESOME build!
What a great oven nice job Dave 👍🏻
You should just replace the oven controls with a cheap PID controller. You could get way more consistent temps, and not have to worry about temperature readout.
It looks like you need a draft control area when applying the coating... So use a fan behind some filters and spray in front of the filters. Other than that it looks great to me.
I'm probably going to do the foam board trick and a burner, not sure ye but thanks for this.
I just used a 3/4-1" flat metal seal. nothing else. should use some grill seal, but it has worked fine.
Put fiberglass tubular wound fiber ( at O'Reilly and Autozone ) around the wiring! B4 the oven...lol!
Respectfully, Seth
That's pretty cool. Exciting to think about the possibilities.
10 dollar 250 watt heat lamps go up to 500 deg .....Set the height above your part, check temp with gun , Dun
you thought about putting an internal fan in it? move the air around?
should have put elements in the sides so had more floor space.
awesome video! can you mount the heat elements on the sides instead of topand bottom so you can put bigger parts in it, like a 55 gallon drum?
I ended up doing that
Why didn't you put the heating elements in the side walls so you can put bigger stuff in there without worrying about the bottom element?
great job dave ,,,you can fetch some ready meals to work now and warm them up aswel
Потрясающе 👍
Думал что у меня одного такая мысль, оказывается что это уже есть 😁
Do a big plate of cookies, no joke, see how even that oven heats, you would be surprised how most ovens don't heat evenly everywhere, you might find you don't have enough elements.

I saw a UA-cam video that used a smoker oven to bake powder coat. But you definitely need something much bigger than that.
wow that was a great built you got there, that was awesome
Dave, did you ever put out a materials list for this build?
I don't think there is really a need for a list just source an oven or two and make a frame from some tubing and add the walls and insulation
Damn, Boi! This is one hell of a good DIY video!
where's the list?
now u can start charging ur friends to powdercoat their stuffs!! 😆😆
btw putting the wires inside a thermoinsulating sleeve might be a good idea.
Actually the wire should all be High Temp rated- to at least the highest temp you need plus maybe 10%.

Yes, absolutely
Im considering building an oven, but I wanna do burglerbar doors and windows. I live close to the sea and.everything here rusts like crazy.
Kaowool is no joke, respirator recommended when working with the stuff... Or fibrefrax, I don't know what brand you're using
Thank you that is what I am going to build
What are the dimensions? I want to make one to at least fit a 20in rim
