DIY Sandblasting Cabinet

[@davidc5735]

No unnecessary talking, just straight to the point. No unnecessary talking when we can see what you are doing. These are the KZbin videos I keep coming back to. You get it, thank you for taking the time to produce this great content. 👍

[@peregrine1970]

Nice build. Finally someone who is not just trying to recreate a commercial design, but something most people should have no problems making. Also happens to be how I am making one, but I went cheap on the plastic box and I've gotta find a better one like you used. 2 Side notes; Hose clamps around the gloves for better security and maybe pick up both ends for the air quick connect and use them to put the air in but a lot easier to seal up that hole. Make a short flexible hose for the gun in the cabinet and you'd be set.

[@eukaryon]

People asked about parts. I want to build this cabinet to clean small metal model trains, researched what he used, and found these: BOX Sterilite (P.N. 1933) Gasket 32 qt Storage box, available at some Home Depots, $10.37. FLANGE 4" dia toilet flange, about $4 each Home Depot, if that does not fit my arms I will cut plywood disks. GLOVES I would use heavy rubberized gloves to hold the work, like rubber-dipped fabric, and use the long gloves as air seals. Amazon or Walmart, kitchen rubber cleaning gloves, various brands, with fabric sleeves $8.99 Alternate gloves, I got these for brewing beer and keeping the beer clean - Harbor Freight elbow length PVC gloves, $6.99

[@murk1352]

Then with the filter & the sandblast gun, you’re better off just buying a bench top sander blast cabinet! You can get one for $100-$135 shipped & it comes with everything

[@CosmicSeeker69]

my only thought was - fit the filter from the inside - that way the internal pressure creates a better seal... and I think that I may shield my filter from the direct line of fire, otherwise I could see it blocking up pretty quickly

[@truebreed89]

2 simple questions 1) where did you buy the box from 2) what media are you using to etch your glass..??

[@saaamember97]

I see you have links to your video camera gear. That would be good to know if this was a "How to make a video" video. However, since this is a video on how to build a sandblasting cabinet, what would be more important, and helpful, are links to buy the parts you used to make the cabinet.

[@AndrewMehl]

i was just going to comment this exactly! parts list would be most excellent!

[@adavila78]

Can’t you really infer the parts from the video? Sheesh!

[@PUBHEAD1]

Perfect video for what I need to do. Thanks so much for this. Cheers

[@Hopeinformer]

Awesome idea. Thank you for the great share. I am looking forward to making one of these. I think I'll use hose clamps instead of the blue painters tape. Good idea to add an additional gardening glove to the hand holding the part being blasted.

[@Justinsatiable]

This is just awesome. I so glad harbor freight was all sold out of cabinets because this makes way more sense. I'll spend 10 bucks instead of 120

[@joebrone4972]

Plus, with the HF one, you'll have to do a handful of modifications to it, as per the reviews on it....👍😁

[@Sbregher]

So clever! Thanks for sharing the hack!

[@randysngh]

Great Love it. I dont have enough space in my Garage for Cabinet, will certainly use your idea. THANKS

[@ONEpocketKID21]

Absolutely perfect video! Cleared up a lot of questions I had.

[@immortalsofar7977]

Just discovered your channel. Lots of cool stuff you got going on. Been wanting to buy a sandblasting cabinet, but I'll be making one instead... better, cheaper, lighter. Can stick it on the shelf out of the way when not using it unlike the commercial metal ones. Thanks for the vid!

[@RoborobsComputers]

Great idea and video. If you know someone who has a vinyl cutter you could use that and get much higher detailed patterns as well as not have the issue with the adhesive. Again, Great Video.

[@immortalsofar7977]

Depending on where you live, a local hackerspace might have a vinyl cutter. My local one does.

[@ForgeofSouls]

Got a link for the container?

[@toddbynum3071]

Nice project! Planning to build one today. One thing I really don't see addressed is sealing around the air hose. At 6:45 I caught a glimpse of what looked like poly fiberfill or cotton. That seems easy enough. Anyone have thoughts on addressing this differently? Thanks!

[@kurnen79]

Very nice! I have loved watching you transform the ordinary into extraordinary! Thank you!

[@WhoAmI7133]

very good but could you tell me what the tubes are you fix for the hand holes Regards

[@hankturner2790]

They are pvc commode mounting flanges.

[@MikeySmithJones]

What are the black round things? A list of all your parts in the description would be rad! With that said, great idea. I will be copying this design once I can get all the materials. Thank you!

[@joestanosheck1453]

[@jacklarson6281]

very clever using toilet flanges for the hand ports into the cabinet.

[@mikehunt908]

Well done 👍

[@Star88701]

Super late response but I just emulated your build and it worked out perfectly! I think I even got the exact same box from Sterilite from Walmart haha. Only different thing is that I couldn't find black flanges, I got white ones from home depot. I think they are used for toilets lol. Thanks for the vid, made a very good guide!

[@jmartin373]

do you have a list of parts used to make this cabinet

[@davegee4129]

Maybe some hose clamps to hold the gloves on place rather than tape but I think I'll be making one of these. Awesome job.

[@dontblameme6328]

Zip ties.

[@jakemilnes7250]

Where did you purchase all the items in this build. Gloves, box,filter the black plastic devices?

[@jarodmorris611]

Wondering about rubber ring around the outside of the glove and then 2 very large hose clamps. Rubber to not cut the glove with the hose clamp.

[@mikehunt908]

Maybe even a cable tie ?

[@jarodmorris611]

@@mikehunt908 A large cable tie would probably work. The larger ones are usually big enough to even undo and slide off to reuse.

[@NoticiasCamara]

[@oneshothooligan6279]

Gloves before the flange was the only thing i would have different that way you could sandwich gloves between flange and tote.

[@iron60bitch62]

Great idea for hand holes

[@zraker7]

How do you stop the sandblast grit from eating away at the plastic from over spray?

[@prophaniti1]

Great idea, but turn the air filter round it'll give more space.

[@lorenfreemer]

What type of gaskets did you use for this?

[@pclouw]

what suze air compressor you using friend, forgive me but definitely using your ideas very good ideas

[@weldmama]

what airflow are you using to etch and do you find that you get a lot of media lost through the filter system??? i am part way through building mine and i just had the thought about whether or not to try maybe using those dust cartridge screw in things you put on a half face mask in place of the air filter you have used to try and contain more of the dust but didnt want to risk over pressurising the cabinet either if its too small an outlet..

[@周世斌-i6g]

[@IAMKVM]

How many psi compressor is required for this peoject and also whats the purpose of fitting that air filter?

[@AZ-um1oz]

The container is air tight, air needs to escape when you blast

[@lucamatricardi8570]

Very very interesting! I would like to know what type of compressor you use (minute air delivery and tank size) to work well with this type of sandblasting gun.

[@JMAAD]

[@mathewporkola7243]

[@Mariam-Mina]

Hi Andrew, so if I get open tub and do it out door plus taping the whole jar even the lid and the bottom, then place the jar inside the tub and just spray, will that work? Or it’s not safe to inhale that’s why you built this container. I can wear special mask as a protection

[@larryc3541]

Where did you get the container?

[@viryayudha1170]

What kind of tape do you use, is it abrasive resistant? thanks

[@Oscar-gx2yf]

Nice, I just bought a similar gun. What are the stats on your air compressor? I think I may have to buy a bigger one.

[@shipmodelbuilder43]

Hi Andrew, what type/model of compressor are you using for this home sandblasting station?

[@johnortman2907]

I am curious as to what is being used as the sand blasting media here? I have been using garnet grit due to living near a garnet sand abrasives company I just 80 pound bags of garnet grit. Any idea what might be being used in this video?

Great Video ! May I ask what is the key word to search online for these 2 black plastic rings to attach the gloves on ? Thank you very much, indeed !

great video....instead of using a drill and bits to drill into plastic, just heat up a sharpened metal rod with the same diameter with a torch and poke it thru....no cracking

[@randalloc]

What is the min Air Pressure you need to run this with like fine glass media.. ? Like to get a 3 gal Air compressor but not sure if it has the power to run the blast gun???? Looking at entry level Harbor Freight 3 gal $60 or so compressors.. can this work.. ? looking to glass bead finish some gun barrels or a muzzle brake... THANKS

[@mertcapkin7263]

How do you filter the sand after use?

[@wtffy204]

Wat compressor are you using.

[@billkaroly]

The toilet bowl flanges are less than $5 each for black or just under $8 for white ones. At home Depot...

[@MrSpikesterman]

cool idea, I like make one. but wouldn't the sand in time would poke a hole in the tub, and what kind of sand do you use, and where can I get that air nozzle you use at?

[@tedlewis3892]

serrot spikester harbor freight sells the blasting gun for about $20, and the grit. You will need a good air pump and tank, or maybe take the whole thing to an air source when you need to clean something

[@aarontowle5107]

The grit is coal slag

[@weiwang9622]

Correct me if I'm wrong. I think one material is more PETG like and the other is more acrylic like.

[@stormvanderzee1300]

What size compressor you using to sandblast?

[@jamesspencer5816]

What type of air filter was used?

[@lasersbee]

Good inexpensive Sand Blast Chamber... 7:02.. So it seems that just the rubber glove is no good for the hand holding the object to get sandblasted....

[@johnortman2907]

Actually just the rubber glove would be plenty of protection, he probably just didn't know that and used the leather glove to be cautious. The media will hardly affect the rubber as evidenced by the fact that he is using tape to protect the glass from the media. I did a lot of sandblast etching of glass in HS and simple cheap masking tape is enough to block the media. Cool setup, the simplicity of it is pure genius.

[@samykamkar]

Nice!

[@laurijorgenson6683]

Very clever. Way to go

[@joshuacanzoneri5353]

Are those toilet bowl flanges?? Brilliant! Thanks for sharing!

[@rstezza]

What’s the air vent for? Is it connected to a vacuum or something?

[@will260007]

Air introduced into the sealed container by the air compressor needs to escape otherwise the box will break from the pressure. The filter is allowing pressure/air to escape while retaining the sand blasting media in the container.

The holes look small, feels like the hands would get stuck

[@jyt3408]

Invest in a vinyl cutter. Stencils would take less time and can be more elaborate. Thanks for the vid.

[@vennic]

Couple thoughts. Cover the underside of the lid with packaging tape that can be replaced when needed. Instead of toilet flanges, use a heat gun and a shop vac on the blower setting to deform the plastic and make flanges for the arm holes

[@jimsim3]

for the side of the items your etching and I know that your just testing your gear, But you may as well used etching cream like Armour Etching Cream For Glass and Mirrors

[@herbfellows6435]

As a glass artist, I have used the etching cream. It mostly didn't do the job, and when it did, it was totally blotchy. Sandblasting n works much better, IMHO.

Great DIY job, no need for filter though, as soon as you open the box lid it's exposed to air.

[@kiddbrother3]

how about using wire ties cuffs on gloves instead of masking tape! &"O" ring around hose & computer fan on the filter! great video!!

no need to use fan as you overpressurize the box with the compressor so the air will blow out through the filter

Might as well purchase a bench-top sandblasting cabinet made of metal (Item#42202) at one of Harbor Freight stores with their 25% off coupon. Cabinet comes with abrasive gun and ceramic nozzles, a hose and 14 in. long rubber gloves. All for less than $100 - Spend extra few bucks and get a real sandblasting cabinet. Don't see the point of going shopping for a plastic storage container, toilet flanges, bolts, filter, etc, etc plus the extra work of drilling holes in it and putting everything together.

[@Nec89]

Anyone thinking about throwing this together I would advise against the 3-4in toilet flange used for the gloves because they're a bit too tight of a fit to squeeze your hand through. For about the same price you can buy dust collector flanges with a larger inner diameter. You can also use a dust collector flange to secure a shop vac filter to in place of the filter used if you want a better seal but its a bit overkill for a container so small. I would think something like a Crankcase breather filter or a cheap motorcycle pod filter would be adequate for something like this. a.co/glybef3 Or if you want to spend a bit more with all the hardware you'd be better off with this a.co/dd3f1vw
