This second iteration of the Ecto Containment Unit is as close to a 1:1 scale version to the original films as I could find. It was commissioned by a father and son Ghostbusting team from Canada. I hope this video not only inspires others to try to DIY their own containment units but I hope I covered enough for this to act as a tutorial on how to build one. I know (2) hours is a lot but this is no small project. So thank you all for watching. I appreciate you all.

Please check out this image to see the cuts from (1) sheet of plywood to make the box.
