Great cabinet, even big enough for a frame. Don't forget a pressure relief. And be carefull with your engine! The blasting material always finds its way into it... Regards from Germany!
Thank you for this video. Can you tell me the end dimensions. I am a rookie and just need a cabinet to do some wagons and child's card table and chairs. Loved the video . Thank you again.
Don't know if it's a good idea to blast a complete engine... 😳 The medium is so fine and will find it's way everywhere! Next to that, the engine surface will be very rough and could start to oxide in rain or wet weather. Make sure you coat it (the metal really opens up after sand blasting. Wet/Vapor blasting is basically the only and best way for an engine).
ronnie doorzon That funnel idea is fantastic, It’s definitely a good size blasting cabinet, The only downside I had was not being able to see very well so I think the next step for me will be vapour blasting
Not bad Dan it's got great potential for bigger projects and it's well made , get a shop extractor and cut a hole in the top for the tube and you wont have the air pressure blowing the sand out all over the place ..top job as usual ..waiting with anticipation on what the engine looks like after blasting ..great to have ya back
I'd give that window a minute or two before it becomes almost impossible to see through. Proper cabinets use disposable screens so you don't have to change the entire thing. Maybe give that a thought? I know it's only for one thing but you might want to use it in the future and not need a new sheet of plexi every time
Great build mate, looking forward to seeing it up and running. Love stuff like this because it shows you dont have to spend a fortune on kit. Im very jealous of your workspace.
Can't fault you for wanting a blast cabinet surrounding the engine. That blast media gets everywhere, even when wearing protective gear - ears, shoes, etc. Sandblasted a pickup truck floor once upon a time. That sand got everywhere, under the dash, even inside the windshield wiper motor. Later, the sand almost caused a fire inside the wiper motor. Could have burned my pickup to the ground since it was 12AM driving down an isolated back road, and there was no help in sight. Wiper motor started smoking. Luckily, I pulled over, turned the vehicle off and let everything cool down. Never got to flames.
You did well with that Cabinet Fella' I was going to buy a steel unit, But with a Few mods and a Coat of white fibreglass inside? or even plastic sheeting? I will ponder over this but your Idea is just minted' it would just do me fine for the projects in hand. Cheers bye for now.
Very good video ruined by the rise in volume of the unnecessary music, a lot of people like to watch good video without the music going up and down. Thus causing the other half belting one about the head for annoying them while the soaps are on.Keep up the good videoing.
Great video, I really like your method for marking the center of the wood for pre-drilling much easier than how i have been doing it all of these years. I always enjoy your video content keep them coming.
All seems good. I would just mounted the top hinge differently. Instead of putting the hinge flange on the cross section, I would put it on the top (like the top was plate). The screws would hold much better that way. The plywood will split with the screws parallel to the plywood sheets.
You left out the most important part, moving the sand/abrasive. What did you use and how? Anybody can build a box. How did you move the blasted sand? How can you make a video on making a sandblasting cabinet without showing how to move the sand? Thumbs down.
Sorry it this video was missing something you needed to see, I used a dustpan and scooped it up and kept putting the sand back into a bucket, the bucket was my hopper It worked ok but opening the cabinet to do this was a little annoying so I recommend making a funnel shape for the base and a strong grill or mesh for the sand to pass through and collect at the bottom of the hopper for the pick-up hose. Here is another great Sandblasting Video from a different RU-vidr ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KFgA0n3Vr68.html Hope that helps mate. Have a great day
@@CafeRacerGarage ; Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I sounded harsh. What I was looking for is a DIY method to propel the sand. Your wooden box is fine and I would build one myself. It is the mechanism for propelling the sand that is tough to do. The video linked is a good one and it was useful. Thanks.
@@wrongfullyaccused7139 The compressed air through a siphoning affect is what Propels the sand, you could also use I high-pressure water blaster with sand depending on what you’re blasting, just be mindful of flash rust if you’re blasting steel and not aluminium. You can easily spray WD-40 a soon as you finish blasting to stop the rust until you paint or prime it.
@@CafeRacerGarage ; I have watched the video on wet blasting using a pressure washer and that seems a very workable solution. Renting a pressure washer is not all that expensive and it should really move the abrasive well. I am aware of the flash rust situation since I live in a humid state. Any bare metal rusts while you look at it. It is terrible. Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately, I no longer have the cabinet, It's gone to a new home, however, it was about 1200mm long x 800mm High x 800mm D The best advice i can give you is to make one as big as posable and make the door as large as you can. Hope that helps mate :)
