Maybe an idea would to make dividing walls between the 3 burning that can be slid in and out..That way when you only have a small part, you are only using a third of the space to heat up..Just need to come up with a way to shut off 2 of the burners when you only need one..
Such a rare bird to be so down to earth and I thank you for it. Refreshing to see. Thanks also for not being afraid of your shadow as everyone else is. Nothing about "don't do this at home" or I'm not a professional or bs like words being afraid of liability or generally chick talk by grown ass men.
Best DIY cure oven video I've seen yet. I need something bigger than what I already have for powder coating and would like it to double for prepreg carbon fiber curing. With just a few tweaks I can accomplish exactly what I need for a fraction of the price of all the turn-key ovens I've found that just aren't big enough. Thank you! Your design is large enough for me to cure 4 or 5 carbon fiber guitars at a time and cost-effective enough to be worth the build time.
You need to add some radiant shields over your elements, just some sheet metal with 3/4 -1' holes, hanging in front of the elements. You may not have had any problems yet but it will if you get some parts to close to the elements. It will actually burn the coating or discolor it . Don't ask me how I know. LOL I have two ovens in my shop 7' X 7' X 7' inside measurements and a 4'6" T x 3' W x 32" D inside. I heat mine with LP, I built my own burners and controls myself. The big oven, I can bring from 32* up to 400* in about 9-10 minutes and the little oven about 15 minutes (different type of burner. I don't need to dump 500,000 btu of heat in it.)
Nice! Any more info/tips on your setup? My garage is off grid and I’ve been wanting to do LP. Because my system wouldn’t be able to run 15kw of elements
I had watched a couple of videos of custom builds that were about the size of a dorm refrigerator. I need bigger than that and thought about using metal studs and galvanized metal. I thought I was the smartest guy around and then clicked on your video and found out that I was the second smartest because you beat me to it. Thanks for the video and the info. Subscribe and thumbs up from me.
Awesome video! Using two house type ovens now due to cost of store bought PC Oven... I'll build one of these now, use parts from the other two, toss them when done and have a permanent oven in their space! Thanks for the video!
It looks like you could use those same hinges all the way around to connect all the wall pieces so you wouldnt have to unscrew anything. Other than that i love the idea
This was fantastic to watch. Want to start powder coating, not going to drop several k for oven. Would like to do something like this on my own, but not sure I can pull off the electrical. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing your experience.
I built one very similar a year ago and bailed on it because I thought it too big. Yours is ideal size. Great video, very informative and easy to follow. Perfect YT DIY instructional. Thanks!
I am just finding this. Absolute phenomenal job on this build. Very inspiring. I will try this oven build. I have been gathering stuff over time to build one. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.
I can relate same arm. drilled through the bone add a button through the bone. Told me it's stronger then before. Was nevus going back to lifting all is good.
Thanks Ed for the kind words. Hopefully this video helps everyone out! It sucks paying a fortune for powder coating for the average joe. This will definitely save people some money!
Very nice, I did kinda the same but used an old oven open the door and just built a box like you did but mine just sits on the oven door when it’s open put some straps on the side so I made it little more than double the size but that’s all I need, thanks for the video
beautiful job, gets the job done. Galvanized..?..I personally think its ok, the interior doesn't vent out and the exterior is insulated from reaching above 480. Having said that I woould have used regular sheet metal and used a high heat paint to insulate and protect, but respects for getting it done. the little guy usually doesnt go any where because Abraham Lincoln says we cant:) Wondering if 240v might have been better to drop the emparage..
The coating on galvanized sheet metal starts to brake down and give off toxic zinc fumes at temperatures above 395F, even if the entire oven isn't set to this temperature the areas near the heating elements will certainly be at least that hot.
@cameronpresley5771 ive seen some powder coating ovens using just cold rold metal plate think the thickness of the ones on the site where i was working was between 1-1.5mm didn't measure it but thats around what they used to build it
Cool rig you got there. It's given me something to think about. I can have wheels PC's locally for $100/wheel, and their color selection isn't very large. For $400 I can build my own little oven just for one wheel, and buy ALL the equipment to do my own rims in whatever color I want.
Love the innovation I had a small shop in 89 built and installed security doors Wet sprayed first then fast dry acrylic Then high solids bake Finally got into powder Lots of work but well worth it Had two lines one automated recycled the powder great savings paid for the equipment over time one binks 10 x10 sprayed to waste Adding a Fremont phosphate wash was great for pretreatment sadly lost it all during the 2008 2011 Economic meltdown Think I’m going to build my own this time Thanks for your post
A good idea to do if you haven't redone the oven. Is put the fiberglass rap on the window door the same way as the bottom of the doors. Because there is no seal in the middle gap.
The fact y’all took the time to go so in depth with how y’all built that and share your knowledge and tricks with others! Respect! Thank you. Only one question, how hot does the outside of it get? I assume not to hot but figured I would ask! Maybe make it thicker if it does get to hot?
NIC Prismatic is only about 10 miles from me in White City OR. It's great to go there in person and they let you go upstairs where 8500 color chips are hanging. They always let me take a few samples for my projects and they have a color matching team onsite. I place my orders and pick up in person or they can ship to you for a small fee.
Very interesting. I just finished installing an older stove in my garage and even though it’s ‘small’ comparatively, I’m pretty stoked to get to it! I’ll keep your video in mind as I move forward. One question….. you said it runs on 220/240…. So it’s plugged into a 50amp welding plug? (Like a 6-50R?). Is that all you need in terms of circuit to run the oven.
Very nice build and well thought out and executed!.......as far as the burner elements, it looks like just 3 household oven elements? Can you just purchase like 3 of the same model replacement elements for a household oven and also what wattage specification elements do you recommend for a box similar in size to what you all have built?? I'm looking to mainly powder automotive parts with probably wheels and subframes/chassis parts being the largest items I will need to put in an oven so that being said a household oven was what I was originally starting to look into putting in my garage and just adding an extra 240V box on its own breaker in my panel and wiring the identical pronged plug that my plasma and welder takes that way I don't have to run it on the compressor outlet and the oven will only need plugged in when in use and all other times will be free for my plasma and welder for fabrication and all of that equipment is in the area I'm going to free up under one of my larger fab benches and build the oven to fit snug under that bench that way if I'm doing something heavy such as an engine block or similar weight I can powder it on a wheeled cart and then roll it right into the oven on the cart and when done wheel it right out instead of lifting heavy items up a few feet into the oven. I want to thank you guys for such a great informative video on your build and also thank you in advance for the information on my questions in the beginning of my comment here! I look forward to chatting with you all soon and until then take care and powder on!!
I bought a replacement element on amazon and bent it around a cylinder to make my automated bullet casting machine. Compare the size of a household oven to the volume of your oven. It would be easy to add another element later or to unhook one if you are wrong. A few years back it was $17 for the element I bought. You should do a 50 amp circuit and #6 copper wire depending on the length of run for the 6-50 receptacle. Since an oven runs for long periods of time, you want to have good size wire. Plasma cutters and welders can run on smaller wire for shorter periods, but I finally upgraded when I remodeled my garage.
Hey brother! Just wanted to take a minute to thank ya'll for posting this vid. As a product developer, I'm often amazed by the AMERICAN ingenuity showcased on UA-cam. Excited to build one with a couple of additions for carbon monocoque prototyping. Ill be sure to show you support by liking the vid and subscribing. Thanks again!
very cool,put a bushing over the exterior inside nipple ,probably already got a short though and cleared that obstacle but if not every nipple gets a bushing ..im gonna go build one these this weekend..
Nice job. Total wattage, volume, and time to temperature? External skin temperature @ 400deg F internal? BTW, you can use regular (3M blue) masking tape. It does not burn but it does become difficult to remove when the glue gets heated. Powder much cheaper on eBay. I've purchased 50# boxes for around $2-3 per pound though not necessarily a huge color selection. Several have said powder expires but not in my experience. Main thing is to keep it dry.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Great video Guys! I'm going to build one for my mini bike/ go kart and Dirtbike frames/ parts. What do you guys do for frames that size for Sand Blasting? I want to do that also!
How do you like the Eastwood powder coat gun? Do you ever do translucent colors or multiple stage colors? I am having a hard time doing multi stage colors
U can use a 24v contactor with protection and use a 24 volt transformer also to operate it and the other control functions as long as the main supply’s are isolated from it . Might b cheaper if u needed to purchase controller parts
Welders use nema 6-50 which does not have the neutral. Old codes let the 120v devices use the ground but that is dangerous but it works...........so I'm told :) I thought many PIDs ran between something like 100v and 277v for the input, but maybe theirs is 120v. I used one that works on 240v and a single oven element wrapped around a steel cylinder for an automated bullet casting machine that I built. My tig welder has a smaller 110v transformer like theirs, since it was made to run on 208-480v single phase.....I think it was built around 1965.
Very informative and detailed video! About time for me to make a bigger oven and I plan on building it next month. By chance, do you mind telling me the external dimensions of yours? Thanks in advance!

just acquire a large microwave oven to use with smaller parts
@regulershowtv and put metal parts in a microwave?😅

I need an oven like this to powder coat my own atv frames. Cool build.
Excellent vid! Very nice budget setup and shows you can get great results without forking out tons of money.
This is the best oven design I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for checking out the video!
great idea! thanks for sharing! been PC since 2006 in the Austin-Houston TX area. take care!
Great build. I like the modularity of it, so you can store it.
I am just finding this. Absolute phenomenal job on this build. Very inspiring. I will try this oven build. I have been gathering stuff over time to build one. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.
Let us know if you need any help with your build. Thanks for checking out the video!
Thank you for all the info and ideas
this is a really cool video. Im a DIY'er myself. Ive wanted to get into powder/cerakoting for a while now. You gave me a lot of good ideas, Thanks!
Super Helpful, Thanks for being easy on the brain 👍🏽
Thanks for checking out the video!
I can relate same arm. drilled through the bone add a button through the bone. Told me it's stronger then before. Was nevus going back to lifting all is good.
Excellent video, very detailed and professionally presented! I will be making one just like this, thank you!
Great video, you explained everything very well. Excellent job on your build and explaining how it work in detail.
Thanks Ed for the kind words. Hopefully this video helps everyone out! It sucks paying a fortune for powder coating for the average joe. This will definitely save people some money!
Necessity is the mother of invention. Good job.
Very nicely done. Good to have electrically inclined friends
Thank you for taking the time to show us this very cool oven! Great video.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Nice build. A inexpensive PLC with thermocoupler makes great furnace control option.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Ingenuity at its best! Thanks for sharing it.

Love the innovation
I had a small shop in 89 built and installed security doors
Wet sprayed first then fast dry acrylic
Then high solids bake
Finally got into powder
Lots of work but well worth it
Had two lines one automated recycled the powder great savings paid for the equipment over time
one binks 10 x10 sprayed to waste Adding a Fremont phosphate wash was great for pretreatment
sadly lost it all during the 2008 2011
Economic meltdown
Think I’m going to build my own this time
Thanks for your post
Thanks for the video I do cnc plasma cutting and this is going to help me .
Absolutely! Thanks for checking out the video and if you need help with your build don't hesitate to ask.
Looks like the oven works great!
Thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks a lot for sharing this video. I really needed something like that to watch and learn!
Hopefully it helped you out! We love to share our ideas with everyone. Thanks for checking out the video.

Thanks in a million. Great content. Awesome imagination. Grade: A++💥
Thanks for checking out the video!
love your door seals - great idea!
Hahaha! Cheap option and it does the job pretty well! Thanks for checking out the video.
Awesome build i want to build one my self, i really like the simple design and the low cost to build it. Great video. Roger Dixon
Thanks for checking out the video Roger. Let us know when you start to build one and we will help you out if you have any questions!
I hope your arm healing process works pretty good like that oven man 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome video
Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌❤❤
Thanks for checking out the video!
great video with very simple explanation of how
Thanks for checking out the video!
Wow, that is an awesome build. Can't wait to get started on my build
Nice inexpensive working build. Thanks.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Creative! I likes.. Would love to see any upgrades made.
"It's only temporary, unless it works"... ;)
If you would make a shopping list for this that would be awesome
Nice trx250r!!! Noticed it in the back. What’s done to it??
Awesome very helpful. Thinking about building my own Maybe just a bit bigger. Thanks again
Thanks for checking out the video!
very informative, looking forward to doing this myself, thaks a lot.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Amazing project. I have a welding shop and have been considering building my own oven to powdercoat in shop.
Very informative with no bullshit.

Wow awesome vid! Looks easy enough, thank ya!
Will this work with enfrared lamps?
I was gonna weld up a cabinet not now thank you for this video
Could use old fireplace glass for window. Easily found under $50 around me.
Good stuff fellas
Great video. Gave me some ideas.
Cool setup guys!!
Hey guys video is very helpful. I was trying to tell how many metal studs it took. Thanks
How big is your Breaker to run this Oven? 50Amps?

Awesome! Thanks!!!
very cool,put a bushing over the exterior inside nipple ,probably already got a short though and cleared that obstacle but if not every nipple gets a bushing ..im gonna go build one these this weekend..
But he's proud...doesn't have a clue. Doesn't look like high temp wire, either.
Great video! Defiantly building one. Did you consider a circulating fan or are you happy without?
I would suggest having the temperature probe a little lower - so it isn't measuring the highest temperature, but more of an average temp
Nice job.
Total wattage, volume, and time to temperature? External skin temperature @ 400deg F internal?
BTW, you can use regular (3M blue) masking tape. It does not burn but it does become difficult to remove when the glue gets heated.
Powder much cheaper on eBay. I've purchased 50# boxes for around $2-3 per pound though not necessarily a huge color selection. Several have said powder expires but not in my experience. Main thing is to keep it dry.
Great video!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Great video Guys! I'm going to build one for my mini bike/ go kart and Dirtbike frames/ parts.

U can use a 24v contactor with protection and use a 24 volt transformer also to operate it and the other control functions as long as the main supply’s are isolated from it . Might b cheaper if u needed to purchase controller parts
Just wondering what the transformer is needed for. Use a 4 wire plug like for an electric cook stove and you have a neutral to get your 110v
Welders use nema 6-50 which does not have the neutral. Old codes let the 120v devices use the ground but that is dangerous but it works...........so I'm told :) I thought many PIDs ran between something like 100v and 277v for the input, but maybe theirs is 120v. I used one that works on 240v and a single oven element wrapped around a steel cylinder for an automated bullet casting machine that I built. My tig welder has a smaller 110v transformer like theirs, since it was made to run on 208-480v single phase.....I think it was built around 1965.
Brilliant
Thanks for checking out the video!
Very informative and detailed video! About time for me to make a bigger oven and I plan on building it next month. By chance, do you mind telling me the external dimensions of yours? Thanks in advance!
3’ x 6’ x 3’ tall. Thanks for checking out the video.
Nice !
Great video
Thanks for checking out the video!
Why have a transformer to take it down from 240 to 120.. why not just run it off 120 outlet?
Prob just to run controller at whatever voltage it takes
Thank you for sharing, very informative!
Go to a glass shop, he may have a pice of high temp glass. Cheep.
Nice job buddy what power does it run on to power all 3 burner elements 16 amps or more
He would need a 50a
4:35 is the picture of the framing, in case anyone missed it
Great video you just need to remember to look at the camera lens when you speak
Total cost to build on your own?
