Homemade Sandblast cabinet
One of my pics shows how I saved money on the tools so that I could use the money for parts.
I went to the store and bought a big rubbermaid storage container for the cabinet. I then bought some nitride gloves and duck taped them to the openings I cut in. Believe it or not the duck tape holds the gloves in place very well. I then cut a 2" opening in the side for the nozzle lines and another 1" opening in the back for my shop vac. If you dont use a shop vac, then the cabinet becomes to smokey to see what you are doing. This works very well and I was able to rent a portable sandblaster for $20 a day. I had most of what I wanted sandblasted done in one day and saved some big money for parts.

Is the lid clear enough to see your work as you go. Pretty good idea. Keep that one around for a while. Should come in pretty handy during your rebuild.
