Spray Finishing Booths for Wood Working
So if you have been woodworking as a business or you are seriously involved in the hobby, you might want to think about purchasing a spray booth somewhere down the line. A spray booth is a huge step up in a woodworking system and can improve your build times and increase your margin. They do however require some knowledge before using them. You will need to pre plan your ventilation before installing the unit.
When we operated our small furniture business we found that we always in some part of the finishing process. Each part had to be primed, painted, artwork and then sealed. Spraying is just about the only way that you can increase this timely process. When you have a spray booth you will find a way to automate more of your finishing processes since you will have taken the steps to improve your assembly. Not only will spraying your product finishes save you time, but the look is a nice improvement over traditional brush finishes. About the only drawback is if you are marketing the hand painted look.
Spraying takes some practice, so you will need to work on your skills and purchase a decent sprayer as well. Having a stockpile of primer and various color paints as well as stains and finishes will make your job go much faster.

You can effectively paint wood finished products that include:
• toys
• bedroom furniture
• conference tables
• Pianos
• dining room tables
• office furniture
• Children’s furniture

Spray finishing booths are not costly and should be seen as a investment. They give the right finish to your wood working products. If you want high quality finishes to your wood working products then it's a must.
You might want to weigh the cost of purchasing your own equipment verses outsourcing as well. Outsourcing will take some management since you will have to oversee the movement of parts back and forth from the vendor. A lot of time this may take a person that is hired to specifically do this job for you.
