Something totally different and I liked it mate, this will make things so much easier for you when it comes to cleaning down parts to refurbish them, not just on the Impreza but future projects
@@DavidMcBay I'm asking because I'm thinking about buying a 150l compressor and I'm curious how often the engine will run with such a tank 🤔 because 200l is already a big colossus
@@vdsmade I wish i had the space for a larger capacity unit! I have been considering going upto the 100L but dont know if the overall gain is worth it. 200L would be a huge tank
Thanks for the video. I was planning on making the same kind of cabinet myself. I'm retired and looking into refurbishing items like old tools , toys, etc. there are quite a few people showing their work on Facebook. Gives me something to do. Great video.
Thanks for watching Pete, if you do manage to build one I would say either buy yourself a respirator or make sure it has an extremely good seal as the last thing you want is to be breathing in any of the dust.
@@DavidMcBay Thanks for the reminder about the respirator. I looked at the cabinet at Hardor Frieght and might just go that way. I find as I am in my late 60's, building things like I use to do is getting more difficult. Time to look at letting go of the " I'm 50 and can build most anything ". 🙂
Dave, you need to have a metal lining inside of the cabinet or it won't last very long. If you can find a better media to use than sand, like walnut shells, garnet or even reusable steel grit it will be better for your health. Sand is banned in the Blasting industry in the UK because of silicosis mate.
Yeah mate I’ve already binned this, it done me for the parts I needed to blast but I’ve been looking at proper cabinets now. I didn’t use sand mate, used glass and allways wore a respirator when using it. It was a decent wee cabinet for the small amount of parts I needed to do but it wasn’t long before you could hardly see though the window 🙈
For £20 and a couple of hours that actually turned out pretty well... It'll be spot on for the off tidy up, good job mate... ... Gloves were a.... Different .. approach 😋🤣 Seriously though, good effort 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Thanks Mark, Yeah the gloves arnt the best effort, I need to find some flanged pipe that I can put the gloves over instead of trying to stretch them but for the time being and until I can justify spending the money on a proper set up it will do.
And when you’re done with the project you could convert it into a rabbit hutch 😂 Looks good sure you’ll get plenty use out of it on all the rusty old bit you want to refinish 👍🏼
Noooooo rabbits are to much responsibility 🤣🤣 Yeah I think it’ll be great for being able to go from removing parts to refinishing them to reinstalling them quickly.
I hope you haven't been using sand in that cabinet without wearing a respirator. Even if you sealed it up very good, you will still get tons of silica dust in your lungs, which will literally kill you. It's called Silicosis and a friend of mine nearly died because his lungs filled with fluid from being shredded by silica dust.
Yeah I noticed that after the very first test where there was a fair bit of dust, I do a lot of spray painting so use the same mask for both activities. I appreciate the comment tho and will pop a sentence in the description of this so others will see it 👍
