Must-have Harbor Freight Blast Cabinet Mods

[@blastitall]

I love how you found it out in a field.

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

Oh it was trashed and PINK.

[@Biokemist-o3k]

You found one of the awesome versions of these cabinets. I found one on Marketplace for $75 and I have been planning on upgrading it. Thank you for sharing the build information...

[@keithphillips1234]

Wow, that thing cleans and blast fast!!! Good work man

[@oxfletch]

Nice! I think you inspired me to finally take mine out of the box and build it

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

Do exactly what I describe here and you won't regret it. It will work so good for you. Use good dry air too! I recommend and after cooler for your air compressor (I have a video on how I did mine as well).

[@oxfletch]

@@TheScientistHayFarmer What's the deal with the dust collector, that just helps with visibility? Would a shop-vac do a similar job?

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

Yes, it removes dust so you can see. Shop vac works just as well, just not as convenient.

Good video, thanks. Like oxfletch, mine is still in the box from maybe 5 yrs ago, but I got it on sale with a coupon and they couldn't get their computer to work correctly (try getting all those stars aligned sometime) for $120. new. Unfortunately I don't have enough floor space to set it up yet. I do have the smaller shelf mount type set up and useable but I need a larger garage/shop or some serious cleaning, or evict the truck or farm tractor. The trials and tribulations of more stuff in existing space. I will be useing some of your mods on both of mine. I also watched your air compressor cooling vid tonight. I have the same unit, different brand, I will be ordering parts for that next week. Thanks again, I already subscribed and will be watching the rest as I have time.

Awesome man. Welcome to the family. I make mostly hay farming videos but as I do a lot of car restorations, I occasionally slip in some restoration or tool-time type videos in. Sometimes I worry it’s too diverse of channel content and would like to have a restoration-focused channel, but I’ve spent so much work and time getting this channel established.

[@warrenp2022]

Hay farming is ok, my Father used to do around 8000 of the 40 lb squares each year, I got to handle a lot of them. He wouldn't let me run the equipment, I just carried and stacked. He just dropped them on the ground and we loaded them onto trucks or trailers for the trip home.

[@disciple_forchrist750]

dude I loved this video!!! Keep going!

Hey , What compressor, cfm and pressure are you running it with aluminum oxide?

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

My compressor is 60 gallon, single stage, 13 CFM I believe, Pressure is around 90 PSI. The blast gun doesn’t require that much CFM, that’s just how much my compressor makes. As soon as I build the new shop the compressor gets bigger :) :) :)

[@kfranklin308]

What cfm compressor are you using?

[@TheScientistHayFarmer]

13 CFM
