Having moved to a new house, and having had enough of cleaning chips from every corner of my workshop (at the old workshop), I decided to build an enclosure for my BF20L Vario clone before setting it up again.
From what I could find on the webs, there was little (to none) in the way of detailed enclosure designs (with plans and/or dimensions), so I will be posting my detailed plans (with drawings) for my enclosure.
Some general specs:
- The size of the chip tray is 30" deep by 60" wide.
- The height of the enclosure is 32" tall (I hope that's tall enough)
- The enclosure walls attach to the outside frame of the chip tray.
- Not Planning to put a ceiling on it at first, unless chips start flying out. Then I'll reconsider.
I wanted to design/build a semi-modular enclosure where I could upgrade/modify the enclosure part interdependently from the tray. I should be able to remove any of the sides without taking down the entire enclosure.
Last night I bought some wood and built the chip/flood tray.
The outside frame is 1"x4" pine, and the bottom of the pan is 1/2" plywood.
I nailed and glued all the wood together (Used PL Premium as the adhesive)
Sealing the wood with an epoxy resin should happen soon.
More to come as I build it.
