Making a DIY Sand Blast Cabinet from Scrap Material in my Garage 

Thanks mate, it really is going to make a huge difference on projects going forward untill I can justify a real one 🤣

Thanks, i have a 50L 14.6cfm compressor from SGS Engineering

@@DavidMcBay What?😯 Can you sandblast with this capacity? The engine's probably still running, right?

@@vdsmade thats correct, its not ideal but as i only use it for very small parts its not running for too long.

@@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

I have noticed that, I haven’t used it much since building it but in the short time the Screen has become very hazy.

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 ". 🙂

@@exfedex1396 Im planning to upgrade mine to a more reliable unit in the New Year the harbor freight onces look ideal for what i use them for.

@@DavidMcBay You have a great holiday season and New Year. Good chatting with you.

Thanks Graeme 👍 Its a long way from perfect but for what i plan to use it for itll do.

@@DavidMcBay that’s what it’s all about mate, doing what you can, certainly seems to do the job 👍

Thanks Martin, was just an off the cuff idea while the weather was terrible and im glad i done it.

@@DavidMcBay you need more bad weather then, great idea👍

Thanks guys, will do!

Itll do the trick mate, beats going out and paying £200 plus for one that ill only use every now and again

@@DavidMcBay for sure

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 🙈

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.

@@DavidMcBay 100% Dave... Like you said, this is for the odd tidy up job, and for that purpose it's absolutely spot on 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼

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 got some old rubber trim from a car door to put round the frame and eventually got a latch to hold it down tight

Haha I barley have enough time for one channel let alone two 🤣🤣🤣

@@DavidMcBay don't you be steeling my ideas now Dave 🤣🤣🤣

Not a chance, this is a one off

@@DavidMcBay 🤣🤣

Éxitos muy bueno

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 👍

I have a 50L 14cfm compressor from SGS Engineering

It was quite small, in terms of working space, would only be suitable for small parts.

Dave wondering the same, what size? I’m looking to build one for blasting pistols
