Home made sandblast cabinets..lets see them
Hey Backtobasics, yep now with a closer look my angle is way off. What I am gonna try is seeing how standing on a milk crate will do. If I stand flat on the floor, it is perfect viewing height, but then I have to put arm holes on the vertical face and the angle its currently at kills it. If I angle it more and lower it a bit like the 1st pic, then I can put the holes and window in the lid (L brackets wont be enuf, I will have to screw it thru the bottom of freezer to the legs). I think I will take it off and try a different angle.
Now Ms Legs 2011, I was tinkin about drilling a hole in the bottom and letting the media "drain" into a 5 gal pail, then I thought I could do that later if need be. I will try it without draining for now. I currently reuse my glass bead(drains into 5 gal pail and my siphon pulls from the same pail. Yeah I agree with the angle and not being able to see, but I plan on using milk crates or something to hold the parts up off the bottom. Hopefully that and with the amt of open space in there I can "avoid" stirring up the media on the bottom. I figure I can put about 2 bags of media in there, that will get me lots of blast time before I have to change it. One thing that is stumping me, but I havent put a lot of thought into it yet is the window. I have to create a frame to be able to remove the glass easily as well as hold it in well. I got a price on laminate glass like you suggested from a local guy here and its about $100 for a 4x8 sheet 1/4" thick!! A little pricey!! Obviously I cant use a piece that big, but he will cut it to whatever size I need. Im gonna shop that price around. Im gonna chk out TPtools and see what they have for ideas. I appreciate all the input, I would rather make it right the 1st time with help, then do it on my own 3 times over!!!
Keep the advice coming!!
Thanks 4spdragtop
