I used to work in a shipyard. One of my jobs was sandblasting. I loved that part of the job. Through my positive-pressure helmet I would watch the rust turn to clean gray steel in long, hypnotic sweeps cleaning gigantic plates. I couldn't hear anything and a tap on the shoulder told me when it was break or quitting time. I was always surprised! I had no sense of time passing. --as far as safety equipment: thick gloves, positive pressure helmet, tear off layers of plexiglass on the front of the helmet, heavy canvas clothing.

It is. Did sand blasting for a company few months and dangers of that thing come to clear real fast. If you have blasting hall with door open, you need full replacement air hood mask that covers your shoulders and feeds you clean air trough hose. You need very powerful lighting cause after 15minutes of blasting you wont see shit even in good sun light being outside. That stream of particles will eat trough metal easily, dent it if you keep it in place too long, go trough 2x4 in about 20 seconds and normal glove...well mind where your hands and feet are... Worst thing that happened to me, was after hour of blasting replacement air supply cut off for some reason and hose had tangled. Tried to untangle it for 30 seconds before air started to become full of dust, so one last inhale, looked to find those huge doors and sun light as exit.. could not see it, so took gamble and run out with out the hood.

Jesus, That's a SERIOUS piece of DIY kit. I've used low to mid range industrial sand blasters in the past and this thing was stripping heavy scale off at least as easily as some of the industrial kit I was let loose with, And the company I worked for had spent several thousand pounds to get those !!! The only problem he'll have is if he starts trying to strip paint off car body panels with it, The friction caused by all the little impacts can cause localised heating, and when you're getting up to this level of power that heat can be enough to warp the metal. When I first saw this happen I thought the force of the impacts from the media had left lines of dent in the car door I was blasting, But an older employee explained what was happening and demonstrated it by blasting a section of 3mm steel for a couple of minutes, Then telling me to touch it........ It wasn't warm, it was friggin' HOT !!!!!

The spark plug trick is pretty nifty. Frequently check your sand hose for thin spots. The sand / slag will wear the hose if you have a curve in it while using it. I know a guy that had the hose blow out where a thin spot had occurred and it blew the skin right off his arm where the sand hit it. He had to have muscle surgery and skin grafts. A good idea would be to wear a leather welding cape with the sleeves.

Dry air is the key to sandblasting. It takes surprisingly little moisture to interfer with the sand feed. One drop will stick a 2 cm ball of sand together. If the blast hose twitches as you work, you're getting sand in clumps. You're in a cold moist climate. You need more than a water separator. I suggest a refrigerated air dryer or a dessicant dryer. If that's not possible, rig up an air heater. 50 - 60⁰ C air to the sand pot will dry the sand and keep it loose all the way to the nozzle.

After 20 years touring auto repair shops and factories from Frankfort to Moscow to Kazakhstan (and running a Jeep business there), the make it yourself attitude was everywhere. In the US workshop we toss and replace with a short wait for Amazon or NAPA to deliver our parts or equipment. But in Kazakhstan or Siberia you’d better have mechanics who make it or repair it. In every shop I‘D see a 30 year old Lada in a back corner, stripped down to the frame and being rebuilt. It was a necessity since car loans were rare, mostly paid for with cash, and an old rebuilt Lada was affordable, simple to repair, and better than the bus. Loved this video, nice touch to paint it in the end. Didn’t see that finishing touch much in the 2000-2010 days.

I use a sandblaster also. I built a 10' x 10' area with tarps that keep the blasting media contained within that area. I easily sweep it up and shovel it through a screen to reuse the media while removing the larger debris. Use a respirator because many blasting medias are very harmful to lungs.

Not just the blasting material, if anything the removed debris can be worse, esp with paint etc...

[@razklbsr2253]

Yup we cant see it but if you inhale noting can safe you.

[@MisterAMuck]

And careful, with every reuse that material breaks down and the particles become smaller and smaller, even a good respirator won't keep that crap outta your Lungs. It also becomes less effective as the sand loses it's sharp edges, as I'm sure you know. I wouldn't do much of it without a full hood. A Blasting Cabinet for items like that little Vice would best but damn they ain't cheap. Cheers!!!

put it through 2 screens one to remove large debris and one to remove anything smaller than the normal media should be. It's the medium stuff you want to keep. a magnetic plate to remove the metal dust is useful too.

I've made several sandblasters out of propane tanks and you guys made yours different than mine. First, get a new two-wheel cart for about 40 to 50 bucks and just blow out the tank instead of using water. Don't cut the top of the tank out. Remove the valve and put a 3/4" nipple 1" long where the valve was. Screw on a 3/4" gate valve to control how much sand you want with your air. You will find this most useful. Another short nipple with a T. All 3/4" fittings. One side of the T is your sandblast hose. The other side is 3/4" hose that goes up the side of tank. Put the 2" pipe thread nipple into the hole you put in bottom of tank which from now on is the top of tank. 3/4" nipple in the side of your filler pipe long enough to go through the edge of the lip of the tank. I always tack this one after tight to keep from moving. Put a T on the nipple pointing down two take the hose from the other T. Stitch an 18" plate on the wheel cart for more stability and weld a bent pipe from one cart frame to the other side to protect your air dryer when it gets knocked over. Don't worry it will get knocked over sometime. A female 1/2" chuck going to the dryer and your done. The gate vale will save lots of sand and prevent from over loading your discharge. I always mark the valve tap for settings and shut off sand when done. With a 3/16" nozzle you can do a 3-4" pass in one swipe or a long-wheelbase five-ton to shinny steel in 2 hours or less. The dryers on tank and coming out of air tank is best. Well worth 6the extra bucks. I run a regulator at 150 psi out of a 225 psi system. This will work better than what you buy.

Я сделал такой же дизайн, используя бутылку с хладагентом 134А около 15 кг. Я купил керамическое сопло для моего. Но я сделал так же, как ты. Я считаю очень полезным использовать хотя бы один водоотделитель, если не два. попадание влаги в ваш агрегат быстро остановит вас. Также, если бы у меня был большой проект, я бы заставил моего сына кормить бутылку, следить за давлением, сливать влагоотделитель и вибрировать бутылку палкой, чтобы заполнитель двигался вниз. Отличная работа! Я люблю пескоструйную обработку.

[@OkFixer]

I made the same sort of design using a 25 pound 134A refrigerant bottle. I have the hoses and valves the same as yours. However I bought a ceramic nozzle for mine. It’s advisable to use water separators. I have two on mine. Water in your aggregate will stop you dead. If I have big jobs, I enlist someone to, refill the container with aggregate, monitor my pressure, drain the water separator and whack the bottle with a stick to keep the sand moving down. Great job! I love sandblasting.

[@bobgreene2892]

At 17.20-- "That said, safety should always be a big concern..." To which we heartily agree, and suggest the sandblaster operator do all cleaning of parts outside, not inside the shop. Airborne silica is a permanent hazard for lungs, so he should wear an ultra- fine-particle, dual breather mask, which covers the eyes, nose and mouth with an air-tight seal. This type of mask is used in auto body shops during spraying of automotive paints. You cannot be too careful, even with all the thought and craftsmanship which produced this wonderful tool. Thank you for the idea ! BTW-- BMI Russian provided an Impressively fluid and nuanced translation. Its translator had no discernible accent, and spoke as rapidly and clearly as needed.

[@Sound1Swhat1Love]

For the people that want to know: Fum tape= teflon tape.

[@PunchesCouches]

the gloves you need are rubber and very thick. when sandblasting a wheel or something thin you must not spend too much time in one area because like welding, the heat can build and make the part warp.

[@tinylockpicksinc.1758]

You can use baking soda instead of sand it doesn’t warp the part as much

[@kitjasabsgabs1830]

Gotta set the sand and air mix and when opening the hand valve all open or closed quickly. Been doing this for decades and if not you'll wear the hand valve out in a few seconds. Even ones made for blasting will wear out in a minute if you don't have full open or closed. Always wear a hood with least 3/8 plastic lens. Hook a filter up before the sand or that'll cause issues where you gotta shake it to get sand out good. Even with hood and glasses on sand will get inside and will get in your eyes. Sand will get in places sand shouldn't be. And duct tape won't stop it. So if using on a diff, engine etc plug up with plugs and whatever you can. Great idea and cheap idea. Use hydraulic hose for the sand hose. I've used one and had a blow out and it's not good. Check it before each use. When you do a big job it's alot of sand going through and it will eat hoses, valves etc. Way faster than anything but acid.

I use to sandblast with professionnal machines 40 hours a week. We also had a portable sandblaster that kinda looked like this one. Never used it in more than a decade working there. To operate this you need some good CFM from your compressor. Not those 8 gallons fron Harbor Freight trust me! They recommend for those small ones a minimum 5 HP+ with 6 to 25 CFM. Also, you need a good capacity tank of air. I wouldn't recommend below 40 gallons, cause it goes very fast. Professionnal sandblast stations, on the other hand, were enclosed with a glass protective seethrought window, high power LED lights and filtered recuperation stations to get the maximum out of your blasting media. Those were pretty expensive and needed 550V 3 phases power and at the very least 35 CFM of airflow. Total investment, about 25K for each machine plus the blasting media and the compressor. Compared to a brush and grinder, this is WAY better and faster, night and day. For the price, I would suggest anyone in a garage to have that kind of equipment, but don't forget to wear some protective gears like a cartridge dusk mask and safety glasses. You don't want old paint particules in your lungs trust me.

[@Pizzagulper]

The sandblaster design here seems to be pretty well designed. The only concern that I have is the fact that they used ball valves in areas that there will be plenty of sand, which probably will be a an issue pretty soon. As far as the wire wheel thing is concerned, as the primary grinder and finisher in the iron works that I work at, I can assure you that if you have the right wire wheel, it could easily take that rust off. Applying the right amount of pressure, I have done quick sweeps and gotten worse rust right off that way faster. If the wire wheel for your grinder are bad enough that you consider a drill wire wheel as in any way comparable, that would probably be the main issue. I personally like Auprex's 4 inch diameter .02 twist knotted wire wheels off of amazon. Those things eat through rust like butter. Do be careful though, because it can eat the steel's surface and definitely use all the safety equipment too. I can't tell you how many times I have found bits of wire embedded in my arms, when I don't use sleeves.

[@StrongOneX]

Airborne particulates from sandblasting is really hazardous to breathe, risk of silicosis, not to mention the rust particles. I recommend particulate filter respirator like N95 or P3 and protective glasses together with a face shield. Good DIY project!

The absence of gloves or eye protection while grinding is epic

in Spain we don't need them either

These guys are amazing. I worked in Russia a few times. Problem under the Lada? Throw a few tyres on the ground and ask some mates to help you turn it on its side. Got a new car? First thing, crack the windscreen, then no-one will steal the screen. That was back in '91. Things may be better now! Спаси Бог

now you need a blast cabinet, with a baghouse, also if you don't have an air dryer water in the air will be a problem, i have used all kinds of media blasters, hand held gravity feed, bucket siphon feed, cabinet siphon feed, small pressure pots that hold half a bad of media, large pressure pots that hold 4 bags of media and have a diesel blower/compressor and cabinets with a pressure pot system, the last two had no valves at the end of the hose, when the system had pressure you were blasting till the media was gone, the large pot was outside and the media was lost, the pot cabinet recycled the media separating the dust from the un-burst media via a cyclone classifier and baghouse system, in this system a small pressure pot sat below the classifier and had an air controlled valve, when the pot ran out of media you released a foot switch which opened the valve at the top of the pot allowing the media in the classifier to fall in, then you stepped on the foot switch which closed the valve pressurizing the system and you were blasting again, sounds complex but it is a simple system, i could explain how the dust is separated from the un-burst media, maybe later... in a proper working system the grains of media should burst when hitting what your cleaning, that has the most effect.

Do a video on the motorcycle you’re restoring. Please.

Nice... i guess... let me try it on joe

That DIY sandbalster could do with a pressure gauge so you could see the amount of pressure is in it. BTW, Best translation and narration from Russian!

Give these guys two 50 gallon drums, an iron bathtub, some corrugated roofing, and couple of lawn chairs and they'll roll a tank out the door.

It's amazing that I've come here to learn how to sandblast for my Ural Motorcycle, and what do I see sitting on his table? A Ural wheel. Brilliant.

[@1jw769]

Excellent video.👍

[@EzeePosseTV]

You should create a hood with grill bars on top of a hopper to catch and recycle the sand/copper slag. A strong magnet near the throat of the hopper will help pull most of the metallic/rust waste from the sand though I'm unsure how to filter the paint particles out. It's worth looking into and will save money from buying copper slag every time you need to use it (until recycled sand loses it's scour ability)

The most important thing he didn't mention, is NEVER even think about welding an empty gas or gasoline container. ALWAYS make sure it's full of water. So called "empty" containers often have traces of old fuel in them, and they WILL EXPLODE if you dont fill them with water.

[@Tomeccho]

2:08 Watch again. He did mention filling it with water was crucial to displace any gases or dampen any fuels.

[@dongriffith3677]

I am more that impressed. Well done and two thumbs up!

[@dboy24189]

love the mentality of knowing and having knowledge of how a machine operates and dublicating it with simple pieces to get the job done, instead of buy it or hire it…I am from Armenia very close to Russia familiar with Russians actually a lot of good Russian people live here and their problem solving smart simple tactics which is creative.

[@questiontruth3401]

These guys definitely went to space first !! and had there been a way to get to the Moon regardless if it got them hurt or killed ? they would have done it !! but they couldn't because of the firmament , and it wasn't for a lack of trying .these guys right here don't complicate things yet they know that what they're doing is dangerous , so they do what they gotta do and very resourceful , where they lack in safety they gain in common sense. These are The real deal kinda guys .

[@joelongstaff7601]

Sir if you put a shutoff after where the sand enters the hose,you can shut it off and release the pressure in the tank.Now turn the air on to the bottom of the tank. Now you can breakup any clumped blasting grit,with out emptying the hole tank. I ran one of these things for 30 years in a welding shop.

[@alexanderiskander9621]

I salute you, you are a true engineer

[@elainetreadwell5576]

Congratulations Vlad! It works great. I think a more precise nozzle would be beneficial. This is because the area being cleaned would be more precise thereby using less sanding material. It appeared with the spark plug there were areas you had to go over multiple times. Or this is what appeared to me on film. Anyway great job, really impressive work.

[@elainetreadwell5576]

Eddie Hitler As I penned the comment I wondered if that might be the end result. Thanks so much for letting me know.
