Jeez no pics of the frame up and the process that we went through....Its like hey this oven miraculously materialized here in my basement...check it out.. :laugh:

[callmej75]

Shaddup woman...gotta do things as quick as I can here....got 3 screaming children that need fed! :chair:

[tacoclimber]

That's awesome, J! :clap:

[callmej75]

That's awesome, J! :clap:


Thanks Taco! Took me long enough...but with the help of Katy, and Philip, I got her done!

[cootees]

Function over form. I wonder how many screws are holding that oven together.

Too many...but its working!

[cootees]

and that is what counts. Now try it out... I will even let you use my wheel as the guinea pig... just like last time. :hillbill:

[callmej75]

Will do...I got this other powder in too so I'm gonna hafta get this dudes Porsche valve pan done and sent off...

[cootees]

Oh yeah. About time that stuff came in.

[bamachem]

my only question : if you built it in your basement, can you get it thru the door to get it out? :P

[callmej75]

Nope...gotta be disassembled...but that won't be for a long while!

[MTL_4runner]

Jeremy, first off I've seen your stuff and you do awesome work my friend. Great job on the homemade oven! Looks to be pretty efficient too if you only had 70F on the outside with 400F+ on the inside. Only issue is man I wish you were closer because I'd be sending all sorts of stuff your way, but the shipping from up here (both ways) would probably cost me more than any part I could send would be worth.

Are you sure you don't want to open a location in Canada too? :(

Thanks man! I would...but shipping this oven up there would kill me...

[MTL_4runner]

I was thinking more like a 2nd oven?! :D

Haha...need another $1,400!

[MTL_4runner]

Wow, missed that part....can't just use an old oven? :laugh:
Seriously, how much do you think you have into all the equipment so far?

[callmej75]

Guesstimating...close to $3,000

[PirateFins]

Any one else find it funny that a powder coater, makes an oven that is bare semi rusty metal?? J/K Looks nice.

You might want to paint a spot black and retake the outside temp, or use a contact probe. The temp is probably close to what you measured but the bare metal is reflective to IR pyrometer so it will give somewhat false readings. Key thing is that it is only warm on the outside while "baking hot" on the inside.
Nice Job again.

Very good point.....regardless, the important part is that the inside can still hit 400F to solidify the PC.

[Euphorickaty80]

Well the outside should stay cool...there is like 4" of high temp insulation between the walls! I was alot of fun to build...We have talked about a bigger oven for quite some time now and its just good to have it finally be done...Now ship yer parts so we can make the money back that we had to shell out on it!! :laugh:

Yeh I'm gonna sand down the walls and hopefully they don't flash rust again.

The outside of the oven feels the temp when I touch it vs what the thermometer says...I ran it all over the oven, and tested the inside metal after I turned it off and there was a significant difference...like 200* more. Its a good ballpark figure though on the thermometer.

[callmej75]

First product of the new oven....360 Dodge valve pan covers in silver metallic with a clear coat

[Euphorickaty80]

they are even prettier in person!

[kmcc78240]

Those do look very good. I like that color

[localmotion]

nothing to see here! Im not impressed until you can fit a 4runner in the oven! LOL

nice work J! I am trying to make a trip out there!

[marko3xl3]

I have no idea how I missed this thread...but very very nice oven J. Whenever I get a chance, I promise I'll send some business your way!

Keep postin those product pictures =D

[callmej75]

Hasn't been here that long dude! If you want to...send whatever you want to...as long as it fits, I will do it!

Come on out man! Always welcome here..

[waskillywabbit]

Now I know where the dead bodies go. :flipoff:

:guitar:

[mastacox]

SO I don't want to be nit-picky, but what are you going to do about it rusting? High-temp oven paint maybe? Better nip it in the bud before it's too late...

[MTL_4runner]

What dead bodies? :tapedshut:

:D

[callmej75]

Shhhhh..... :booya:

[Euphorickaty80]

SO I don't want to be nit-picky, but what are you going to do about it rusting? High-temp oven paint maybe? Better nip it in the bud before it's too late...

Its just light surface rust from the sheet metal being outside for a couple days until we could get it cut to fit. Nothing a little light sanding wont take care of. Its in a dry environment now so the rust will not come back. Might slap a lil paint on it anyway just to make it purdy :bling:

[callmej75]

I may do something with it one day...but for the meantime it causes no issues with anything in the coatings. I will lightly sand it and that may be all. Function over form!

[MTL_4runner]

Geez, just sand it and throw a little oven enamel on there and it won't rust again. :D

[callmej75]

Once I get all these backed up orders out...right now I'm maintaining 3 kids, blasting, and coating today.

[MTL_4runner]

J, just giving you a hard time. :P

[callmej75]

I know buddy...these last few weeks have been hell! Wound up doing some things for free because the guys were complaining about my turnaround time due to my oven taking so long.

[jrallan26]

What are the biggest dimenisions of parts can you manage?

[callmej75]

About 5'H x 3'w x 3'd

[jrallan26]

motorcycle frames should fit okay? Do you have anything for them to hang from?

[callmej75]

They should..I got 2 bars mounted to the inside...I mounted them after I took the previous pics posted on here. I spoke to you before about powder coating...don't know if ya remember or not!

[jrallan26]

I remember.

[callmej75]

I remember.


Good deal man...so have you got any projects in lately?

[jrallan26]

I have a lot of little motorcycle projects. No full restos. Which is good.

Heres an intake done in chaecoal metallic and clear coat

J, the stuff looks great!
How long do the parts have to sit in the over for?

[callmej75]

Well the silver covers....the magnesium which is an extremely lightweight metal, took about 10 minutes first coat, then clear coat took about 15 minutes after that to bake. The intake...well the charcoal coat took about 20 minutes to get it up to 400* and bake for 5 minutes of the cure schedule...which is half the time, and the clear coat took about 25 minutes to cook at full 10 minute cure at 400*. It has to get the metal up to 400* all the way through before it starts to fully cure...so if it takes the metal 15 minutes to get up to 400*, then add that to the 10 minute cure cycle thats instructed on the data sheet.

[MTL_4runner]

Just like bakin' cookies! :laugh:

Good...I can do a pile of stuff in this oven! I may be starting back on the ceramic coating as well..

[surf4runner]

ceramic?!?

header coating :D

[callmej75]

ceramic?!?

header coating :D


If I can perfect it....

[amgraham]

Dude, you can do ceramic? Like, the stuff you do on headers? I have a header for my truck that is chrome and I really wish it was ceramic. I am probably going through the Noke at the end of the week and could drop it off ;)

Not quite yet...I got the coating and the oven for it now...but I need to perfect the polishing of it. Messed around with it before but I polished it with a buffer wheel which was a PITA. Gimme a week or so and I'll see what I can come up with. Might pick up some glass media tonight while I am at Northern Tool picking up my blast tips.

[amgraham]

Do you need something to practice on? I could drop it off and pick it up towards the end of the month when I come back down that way. I'm not too worried about looks but rather that it doesn't rust up like chrome tends to do. So, if you want one to practice on that it doesn't really matter if it doesn't look great let me know.

Drop it off if you want...I'll see what I can do on this piece of tubing I got first...then if I can perfect it then I will do your header.

[slosurfer]

Are you going to start a pc pic thread, or is this the one to put pics in? My wife just built a light box to take pics of the cabinet hardware, so I should have some good pics soon of the ones that you did for me.

I think I should start a pic thread so it will show up in search better.

[Cebby]

Start one in the vendor section slacker! :D

I am I am...gotta bunch of stuff on my plate right now and not a gut big enough to handle it all!

[localmotion]

Man up sucka! :rofl: :tongueout: :flipoff:

[drguitarum2005]

that looks awesome! this may have been answered but are those heat elements just from a real oven or what?

[callmej75]

Yeh they are replacement elements for a stove.

[callmej75]

Sorry guys...but due to life circumstances and with it being beyong my control, I cannot accept anymore parts at this time. I have my kids full time and not really alot of time to devote to this. Not as much as I wanted to...but maybe in a few months I will be back. Gotta get things straight first and I don't have any money to do it with. My hats off to all you guys that have helped me out...god bless.

[amgraham]

I'm sorry to hear that man. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you get back going when you are ready again.

[callmej75]

Had a customer come over yesterday that didn't get my message for taking a break in coating...but I did them anyways.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a128/callmej75/Powder%20Coating/IMG_3456.jpg

[callmej75]

Oven appears to be in good working order now...now accepting limited parts! Also have some used 15x10 wagon wheels with 4" backspacing and will blast and coat to buyers color.

[callmej75]

While Philip was over last night, got his spare rim blasted and coated in his infamous satin black..

WOW! Those look AWESOME!

[callmej75]

Thanks Cebby..your stuff is up for shipping next week after I get this clear coat in to do the rest of it! I'll post up some pics after I'm done..just got the lower intake, 6 outer hub rings, 1 small bracket that I missed when I blasted, and that long fuel line. Oh...not to mention the nuts and bolts...

[MTL_4runner]

Your powder coating Cebby's nuts? :spit:
