The Sandblasting / Air Eraser / Etching thread

[woodone]

Well has you know Pete, me and photos do not do well.  LOL.
I am a bit confused?? Nothing new there. These were taken with an I Phone then downloaded from a PC.
But I did add them to my gallery, do not recall how I should retrieve the gallery photos to attach to a post?
I do find them in my gallery so they are there, showing correctly.
Is there a way to get them orientated when photos are taken with an IPhone?
The main thing about my blast cabinet is the vacuum attachment- large white elbow on side of blast cabinet.
I get very little dust any where other than inside the blaster. An air filter there plus I cover it with a old sock. Sock gets dirty , l remove and wash. Or change it out, this keeps the filter clean for a long time
Next is dry air. On the supply I use two air filter/driers. Plus the air regulator with a drain.
You people who live in a humid area can make a cheap drier. Get one of those flex poly hoses and set in the bottom of a 5 gal. Bucket, fill with cold water (add ice) keep the hose covered and you will have cool dry air.

Today (long overdue) I built a new sandblasting box.   My first one was too large.
This one is more modest.
(as stated earlier, I got the idea from someone else).

I bought it a year ago, so not sure if you can still buy this very one, but this is the size I wanted.



I wanted this one not only for the size, but also for the seal to reduce grit leaking out.




Ran the hose thru a hole and taped it up- inside and out.



Installed the filter.  This is outside.



And the inside.


Toilet flange is a good size.




long kitchen gloves.  Long enough to go on the flanges.

Man, I couldn't get my hand through that toilet flange if I tried! 

I have found though on mine that the seal is not enough and sand still gets out. so I used aluminum duct tape to finally seal it off, and hot glue around the Plexiglas window as well.
