Default Barrel Blaster

I saw this in one of the rodding magazines and thought I'd check it out. One of the problems in using a benchtop sandblaster is the limited space inside and the cost of the larger units is prohibitive unless you have very deep pockets. This Barrel Blaster, while not as big as some of the units you can get from companies like TIP, may be a good cost vs. size compromise. The prices are very reasonable and it looks like a well made unit. Just thought I'd pass it on. Check out their site at:

Here's a similar "cabinet" that GaryS built himself. Probably cost a bit less than the $300 for the barrel blaster, if you're into DIY kinda stuff. I'm pretty sure he bought the gloves at Harbor Freight.
