That's got to be a nice piece of mind, having it behind closed door/s.
True......I forgot to take the tarp off it since I'm so "used" to seeing it covered and outdoors

Thanks Navy. I haven't used it yet.....the new shop is still cluttered from the move....but I have used similar cabinets before.....the "chute" under the cabinet saves a lot of time when reloading sand into the hopper/pot.....and it'slarge enough to blast the differential housing/half shafts/etc.......by modifying it on the left wall--cutting a large round hole---covering the hole with a rubber gasket with slits for long parts/driveshaft/swaybars/tie-rods/etc. to protrude through.

Have you thought about different media for the new cabinet.
Mine got wet so i took all the Garnet out in a hope it would dry out but i don't think the media will.
Not sure if to get Garnet again or something else.
Your using sand and seem to get good results.
It takes an extra few minutes, but I always put the media in a 5 gallon bucket with a tight lid on it. When the sand gets damp/Louisiana humidity......I will leave a 100 watt light on overnight inside the cabinet to dry out the sand/media before putting it in the bucket. The light below dries out the media when place under a large METAL pan filled with the damp media
A couple of these with 100 watt bulbs placed close under the metal pan will dry media overnight...they get very hot so keep paper/etc away from them....

I actually have a couple of halogen flood lights that I could use.
May tip it out on a piece of board then hit it with the lights for a while.

I have the same one, just an older model and it works well. It will work better once I hook up the 60g compressor and stop abusing the 30g one that I currently have.

I have the same one. My hose clogged right at the gun for some reason when I first fired it up, after I got that cleared I didn't have a problem again. Now the compressor likes to blow my fuses, the capacitor doesnt have the guts to spin it over well anymore
Hard to believe the places you show are so close to water that could raise and wipe them out. Checking on the other items Tony and will PM you.
Stay well my friend! Oh, I really like the new media cabinet. It will serve you well and get a good work out I am sure.

The restaurant is built on the river-side of the levee. But the engineers built the 1st floor one foot higher than the levee!
Thanks for remembering about my questions....I still have to finish the gas tank so I can drive the car to the painter.
I was just viewing RVZIO's thread now that he has moved to his new home and has begun working on his project in his new shop.
I am finally getting situated in our new home and emptying the ret of the moving boxes out of my little shop.
I am starting to feel a little better......so I connected the battery charger and will reconnect the sidepipes tomorrow (God willing).....set up a temporary gas tank and start the engine after 6 months of storage.

Pics of course/maybe a short video
Go for it DG it's really a boost and you can do it. Took me awhile to figure out the video but it is very rewarding. Also know what you mean about boxes and getting things set up. That's a thought process all in itself!

I made the effort! First I installed the sidepipes/only one fixable dent on one heat shield.........
Next I had to rig up a way to get gas to the engine with my new electric fuel pump.....................
The engine cranked over about 15 times before I decided to connect the HEI wiring
RATS! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD THE VIDEO FROM MY LITTLE KODAK DIGITAL CAMERA.....
ADVICE NEEDED!
