DIY Vapour Blaster Part I: The basic blaster

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Very very in-depth! I like those brakes on the casters as they look substantial and easy to actuate. Id say within a year max I'll be making a vapor blast cabinet. Just a must have.

Hey thanks for watching! I've been having a blast (sorry) with this thing and only really just started dialing it in. I really do need a dry blaster too though, for more aggressive cleaning. Just another tool in the arsenal!

[@Biokemist-o3k]

wow this build is incredible!! It has been two years now. How is it holding up? Would you do it again or would you suggest buying a used Harbor Freight and converting it?

[@DocJonesGarage]

It's holding up great, I would definitely build it this way again! I'm in the process of making a slight modification to the holding tank which I'll share the details of when it's finished and tested. Thanks for watching!

Hi great video, @13min 10 sec you mention that the pump is 3/4 HP - the rating plate says 9.8A at 120V which is 9.8 x 120 = 1,176W. As 1HP = 746W your pump is 1,176 / 746 = 1.58 HP. Hoping this info helps others…

Keep up the good work! Far more organized than my attempts to explain my vapor blaster, that's for sure!

[@DocJonesGarage]

Thanks, this was the hardest video I've made yet, must of started over 4 times.

Love your videos Doc! Very well put together. Your channel is well underrated. All the best on your journey to your first thousand subs! Regards, Josh

[@DocJonesGarage]

Thanks Josh, your videos were a major influence for this project so thank you!

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Doc, a great vid! I was basically unaware of vapour blasting and have only recently purchased a traditional dry media blaster (it's not even set up yet!). Hmmm.. maybe I need both! 🤣

[@DocJonesGarage]

Yes I think having both options is a great idea, I'm considering getting a smaller regular blast cabinet for removing heavier corrosion and paint especially from steel parts. The vapour blaster is amazing but its not a all in one unfortunately.

[@cafechronicles]

Really cool Doc! That nozzle you made is excellent. I want to build a cabinet also, so this has helped me lots. Much appreciated. Great video, keep up the good work 🍻

[@DocJonesGarage]

Awesome! Glad to hear Steve, I'll have a update video in the works soon with some of the updates I've been working on 🥷

[@mmotorcycles9497]

Do you think a blast cabinet from like harbor fright could be converted over?

[@DocJonesGarage]

I'm pretty sure you could. two guys that spring to mind are victor bared and mathewmcrepair both have harbor freight conversions and other really good info too. Thanks for watching!

[@ThePirateRagnar]

What medium are you using and what do you suggest for filtering the slurry? I'm using glass beads and find it great to use, but difficult to clean...

[@DocJonesGarage]

I'm using glass bead too, still looking for a good way to filter/clean it. I just drain it right now and rinse it best I can.
