Next door neighbor got a cabinet from TIP.. Works great- on my air compressor. We ran a hose from my house to his. LOL.. He bought a used electric stove from craigslist, removed the surface burners and broiler element and uses that with a Harbor Freight powder coating gun. Works great- he's got $100 in the powder gun and $100 in the old stove.

I kept all the finishes as close as possible to the original finish. I primed first.

I bought the larger (40 lb.) harbor freight sand blaster about two months ago. Took a half day to assemble,lots of bolts lol. The light that they offer with it is worthless,

I bought a good new Shop Vac with an inner bagging system. Bought a remote control wall plug adapter from Bed Bath and Beyond, although now even Lowes is carrying them. I put the vacuum in the attic storage and ran the hoses and plug down into my shop. i use 4 lengths of hose so I can disconnect the hose from the cabinet and use it to vacuum the shop. I just leave the remote with the hose end so I don't lose it.

My HF cabinet is about 10 years old. The old light is decent in the old cabinets but I had to silicone the seams as well

I have the HF bench top model. For the $$$ you just cant go wrong. For lighting I simply rest one of their free LED lights that they give away on the top outside of the glass and it works just fine. Plenty of light.
