How to make a sandblasting box in less than 5 minutes 

They're called a "closet flange"...as in "wash closet" aka toilet flange. It's used to mount the foot of a toilet bowl to the floor to make your waste water connection.

A little Monday morning quarterbacking for you a year later… If you if you have a heat gun, gently heat the area you’re going to drill or cut on the plastic tote & your knife will slice through it like butter.

Stupid simple and very effective. That's exactly what I was looking for. It's great because your box is only limited by the plastic container size you can find.

Yeah !!! Why not. As a proof of concept it does the job and if we need it more than we think or if it need more features or changes we can make anther one with confidence. Great video. Also nice to see the incidents when choosing the wrong tool for the jobs ... so we don't need to find out the hard way as well !!! Thanks!

Love it! Not only information, but entertaining! Thanks!

Easy way to cut through thin plastic like that if you don't have a soldering iron: Mark your cut and then heat up a razor blade with a torch/lighter until it's red hot, you'll be able to cut through it like butter.

Ingenious and you gave me an idea on how to safely handle materials like lead.

Not many people get a thumbs up from me. You are one of them

Another banger! Nice work sir. As you learned there's only one way to learn why you don't use drills or saws on that stuff. Ask me how I know. Also a couple things that will stick to that plastic are Gaffers Tape (like duct tape but it actually works) and that silver foil tape. The adhesive is crazy sticky, my dad calls it '100 Mile an Hour Tape'. Not ashamed to say we installed a windshield with it once. And since this is your channel and not mine I would like to say that I highly recommend this product for installing windshields.

Great improvisor, we're not worthy oh great one.

tip to prevent hard plastic from breaking when drilling a large hole... Start with a small pilot hole using a very small drill bit.

Thanks for your easy inexpensive idea.

I subscribed very recently after discovering your channel; with a pending blasting job i will tale inspiration from you!

Well done , I would like to see how this would be done with an air compressor, ty for sharing

I hard feel ya on the cracks. Tried to do something similar and cracked every hole I tried to drill. And that was in the summer!

I'm so glad that you made this video because I was curious if this was possible.

Awesome idea. Works great. 😊👍

I love this kind of thing. If you had put those pvc flange things so that they were sticking OUT of the box, you could have used hose clamps to just clamp them to the flange. That way, they are replaceable. Also, one of those silly Step-bit drill bits would have kept your box from cracking when you drilled it.

1:10 - I bet this wouldn't have happened in the summer. I learned that lesson a couple of winters ago when I ordered six cases of clear totes. Every sealed box had at least one shattered tote inside by the time UPS got them here. Thoroughly enjoying your channel, BTW.

That's the best idea, thanks bro.

I just bought a sandblaster and medium at harbour freight to do my stairs. Going to try this with a hole cut out in the bottom!

You say it's not pretty but hey it works so wot the heck I think it's cool well done and many thanks for sharing this with us 👍👍👍👍✌✌

Love it! I would’ve built a heater first though. No way I can work if I can see my breath 😆

I love your channel!

I suffer everytime the plastic cracked on ya, I've destroyed so many things that way. But all that heartache was not wasted. Tip: Run the drill backwards, heat and friction makes super nice holes 👍

5:03 Great idea, man. I'm getting a sandblasting gun today or tomorrow and this is awesome, quick, easy and possible. Thanks for the idea.

Super cool.....just what idea I needed! Thanks

Simple and effective thanks

Love it ❤

I'm thinking stretching glove over the flange inside the box, also maybe a heppa filter behind your main pre-filter, and gasket on lid, bolting flange for extra support? Don't you just love the "know-it-all" types critiqing your work -just think of it as being possibly constructive -take what you think is good and dam the torpedos. What is important is every red-blooded male needs a descent sandblaster and now you got one -nice!

good idea and cheap i love it 👏👏👍

Thank you.gonna make one. Gonna use 2to make one.😅

Good idea!

Nice! There are many other toilet closet flanges and rings one could use for making this. Rings inside could be used to bolt to the outside flange or vice versa. This video is giving me a great place to start on mine. Thank you #Lundgrenbronzestudios !

Awesome! Thanks! 👋🇨🇦

This is great!

Good guy

Commenting to help the algorithm

Brilliant!

Imagine getting stuck while the door bell rings

for a few time useage it would work for me, nice going .

Awesome!

Put your drill in reverse when drilling through plastic like that. Should work out better for ya ;)

Awesome man

Should of used some ec6000 and glued them down! Let it dry and wala

Cauterize the wound 😂 What kind of sandblaster? You should put an affiliate link in the comments...😊

😂😂 great video 🤙🏼

What model/make sandblasting unit do you have? Do you like it?

Nice

Is realy good .. U give good ideal tky buddy love it end susb.

You could have just pre-dilled holes for the screws

Thank you! Now I know what not to do.

Thanks!

thanks!👍

good vid buddy. perfect for small tools, i just inherited my great grands tools. can you reuse the sand?

Excellent. Ugly, but useful, just like me!

Toilet pvc flanges 😂 and they only cause cancer in California haha

looks like toilet flanges

que manera mas chapuza de hacerlo jajaja.

He sure is not a designer or a carpenter, should have used clamp to hold the grove, and a hole saw to drill the hole for the toilet closet PVC.😖

Thx man
