Cement Mixer Restoration | Big Clean Up

[@pierresgarage2687]

Don't we all need a bigger shop for bigger projects, mostly where Summer only last a few short months...??? 🍺🍦🍦🍦🍦😎👍 Mixer getting real clean... !!!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Nice and clean working out well. Bigger shop sure would be nice. thanks Pierre.

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Using your pressure washer as a blast unit is a neat idea.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Worked great Tom. Thanks.

[@Rustinox]

Almost ready to remake the Hoover Dam.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Almost, do you want to come and help? Thanks Rustinox.

[@1970chevelle396]

That pressure washer sand blaster seems to work a lot faster than a regular sand blaster.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Works great and no sand dust. Thanks Ken.

[@helicopterjohns]

WOW! It must have been a late night last night???? Timken Roller Bearings. That piece of old iron was made to last. It deserves the TLC you are giving it. Never saw a water sand blaster in action. Looks like it made a difficult job EASY and was well worth the money it cost. John

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Very much so well worth it. Came out great and worked well. Thanks John.

[@royreynolds108]

If you need to do a lot of sandblasting, go over to kzbin.info/door/j_XaV1ss-qdD-lPUtTEcXw and find the videos of Doug building and using his own version. He is building a 70 foot junk-rigged boat in his front yard. He buys his sand in 3000 lb bags.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Coming along very nicely and your not getting mixed up the least bit. Thanks for the video.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Not to bad, big parts and not a lot of them. Thanks Harold, stay dry.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Looking good Randy.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thank you old iron.

[@christophernewton2579]

Can't wait to se you bang your drum. Thanks Randy great videos

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks Christopher. There will be some serious banging.

[@MaturePatriot]

That sandblaster attachment is a good addition. The Mixer barrel and frame are looking good. You should wear double hearing protection when you try to beat out those dents.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Blaster is great. Thanks Vernon.

[@ScoutCrafter]

This project is really coming along nicely!!!!!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Yes it is. Working on the the repairs and getting primer on. Thanks Scout.

[@davidtaylor8244]

Top Tip for cleaning rusty parts go down to your local builders merchants and buy a couple of gallons of brick acid/patio cleaner it does exactly the same job as evaporust but at a fraction of the cost

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks

[@stephenpeterson7479]

Glad you got the file out. Lipton will be happy.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

I have to keep the file god happy. Thanks Stephen.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

You better double up on ear plugs when you hammer out the barrel 😁

[@RRINTHESHOP]

I can't get that many foam plugs in my ears. I am not a Ferengi. Thans Youchol.

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Got a lot done can't wait to see it finished

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks Larry, coming along well.

[@bcbloc02]

I suggest heat and beat to straighten up your drum.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks Brian. I think this is the path fro the most part. Still looking at removing the cone portion to repair.

[@patwicker1358]

Randy, I'm really enjoying this series, it is interesting to see how someone with all of your experiences tackles something like this.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks Pat. This is the first cement mixer I ever tore apart.

[@AWDJRforYouTube]

Back in the day, my father and his old Italian cement buddies would kill for that mixer...ah let me re-phrase that...FORGEDABOUDIT lol!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks AWDJR.

[@MCEngineeringInc]

Nice job!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks MC.

[@josephmagedanz4070]

Looking good, Randy. Enjoying the series. Glad to hear the Evaporust worked out well for you... I've always had excellent results.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks Joe. The evaporust works great, very impressive.

[@CraigLYoung]

Morning Randy! Looks like it's comming along nicely.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Yep getting some primer on before winter. Thanks Craig.

[@JourneymanRandy]

I have done dry sand blasting for more hours than you would believe. That wet blasting looks good to me. I would like to try that. Looking good Randy

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Worked really great, no sand dust and better containment of the sand. Much better than dry blasting. Thanks Randy

[@JohnBare747]

Randy that blaster worked real good a big improvement from trying to get that paint off the hard way, looks to have saved a lot of drudgery. I hate removing paint even worse than I hate painting, likely because I worked painting houses for a few months after I got out of the service until a 'real' job came along, not a fun job, my hats off to anyone who can do that job and enjoy it.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Worked great John. Still a lot of work. Thanks John.

[@RGSABloke]

Awesome project Randy, I learn so much from your experience. Kindest regards Joe

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks you Joe. So do I. LOL.

[@Just1GuyMetalworks]

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Worked Awesome. Thanks Chuck.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Chuck, awesome comment. LOL

Thanks Doug.

[@mikenixon9164]

Could you use a slide hammer on outside of drum weld temp. lugs to pull on / Good video.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks Mike. Good idea, maybe I can use that in some sots.

[@jimpritz4169]

The mixer is coming along great Randy. I am curious to know how much sand it took for the blasting that you did.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks Jim. 3 sacks #20 worked the best. 3 sacks #30 worked well and better for the tight spots.

[@rchopp]

Looking good, about how much sand did you use doing the clean up?

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks RC. 3 sacks #20, 3 sacks #30.

[@Bobbycat115]

Hello Randy? I need 12 Yards of 36 MPA for 7:00 AM tomorrow are you OK with that. I am in Hope BC.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

I am ok with that. I call a truck for you. I will charge for that. Thanks Joe for the great comment.

[@chrisstephens6673]

HI Randy, as you know I'm not overly safety minded, well I risk my fingers every night 😀, but perhaps a mask would be an idea especially if that is silica sand you are using. I know it is wet sand and only short term exposure but....

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Thanks Chris. I will be long in the ground before silicosis sets in. I am hoping for death by to much bacon.

Just a FYI for people. Northern Tool Co. has the blasting attachment for pressure washers. They have 2 sizes, 8 bpm and 12 gpm. Here is a link for the 8gpm unit: www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200660204_200660204

I also have a link in the description. Thanks for the additional link Paul.
