This is great. I would think that if you wanted to you could keep it as is with the cardboard. The cardboard looks to be heaver duty kind and should last a while. Just ducktape the seems. Of course mounting the motor could be an issue

Finally able to make some progress today. I used my next door neighbors table saw to slice and dice 1/4" MDF. I've had all the pieces traced out and cut and built today. I need to cut holes in the back for the motors.

Sorry it took me so long...been busy. Here's. Couple pics....uses a standard 10x20 furnace filter. I used both motors...works pretty good...although I might redesign it...the airflow isn't as strong as I would like.

If you want better airflow then I would say your issue lies in your ducting at the back. That tape isn't helping much IMO. I know I've seen them at home improvement stores, but you may want to look into an actual "Y" splitter instead of using that flexible hose. I could be wrong but to me it just makes sense with air friction. It looks really good though! Nicely done. I've been looking on Ebay and Craigslist for blower fans. Cheapest I've found is $60 so I need to keep looking. Don't really want to spend more than $25-30 on it since materials will run me about the same. I was looking at this booth as a possibility. But that's a much later project for me.

Again, well done!
