I've tried to explain & email this photo enough times that I figured I'd just go ahead and post it.
The box was simply built on to the back of my wrapping bench, around a Pac Bay four rod dryer. It's 11' long allowing me to dry 10' 1pc rods. The original purpose was simply to keep dust and insects off of my wet finish. I took this a step further by adding heat and air flow. The heat comes from several heat lamps near the air intake. Three small "desktop" type fans behind the dryer motors draw air through the box from a replaceable furnace filter at the other end. It's sealed with caulk at all of the joints and the door is sealed with foam weather stripping tape. Temperatures inside the box can be controlled by the amount of air flow through the box. Max air flow is only used on evaporative type finishes, CP's, paint's, etc...
Added bonus of the heat lamps is that I can put my finish in front of them for a couple of minutes prior to mixing to knock the cold off of them.
Cost (including dryer) was about $200-$225.
