Powder Coat Oven Build Part 6 How To Wire Your Control Panel

Finally! The last installment of the Powder Coat Oven build series! In this video we wire the control panel, and then I walk you through all the circuits and how they work. It's a very long video for me, but I didn't want to break it into two parts since the entire video is about nothing but the wiring. There are timestamps and links to the parts and tools below, most of it can be found at this fantastic guide https://www.powdercoatguide.com/2014/... although I'm not sure how they managed that build at $1000. My build which is very similar to theirs tipped the scales at a little over $2000 and that's after getting a great deal on the sheet metal. I ran out of characters so some links are not here. The sheet metal I bought on Craigslist for $600 (10 sheets of 17 gauge galvanized). The studs and light fixtures were from Home Depot.

I know it's long so the time stamps should help you get to the relevant part quickly. As always thanks for coming along for the ride and if you have any questions or comments drop them below!
