Worlds Best Parts Washer? All in one. Hot wash degreasing, Rinse, Vapour Hone/Blasting.

[@volvogt21]

That has to be the gold standard of diy cabinets you have created Jim. Brilliant stuff and thanks for sharing.

[@rongill4199]

Hi Jim I have recently sold a vapor blast unit and curse the day as you say the speed and finish are superb I look forward to seeing your build list has I have the same sand blast cabinet as you are using and was thinking of making it into a Vapor blast unit but the three in one is a fantastic setup. PS I just did the ABS removal on. BMW R1150R as per your video👍👍

[@LS11971]

This is my new favorite vapor blasting cabinet build, that thing is an absolute masterpiece. Thanks for sharing.

[@Francois_Dupont]

i worked at the biggest engine rebuilding plant in north america. he had a couple of engine cleaning booth. they worked like this: -rotating sprayer like a dishwasher spinning inside -boiling and steaming water inside the cabinet for about 1hour -we added what looked like either dishwashing or clothes washing powder inside -the engine part were on a stainless rack that would rotate inside

[@octavios8081]

Thanks for sharing, you're awesome!😉

[@Francois_Dupont]

@@octavios8081 i discovered later we used peroxyde in powder form. you can buy it in the USA as "Oxyclean" powder. it is normally used to wash clothes. the hotter the water the better it works. dont forget to rince afterwards.

[@putzp7457]

Hello Jim. I am very interested in your ultimate parts washer. Would you be willing to sell plans and parts list for your cabinet? Or some pictures showing how it all goes together. I wouldn't need a wiring diagram. Thank you for making the video.

[@bennyb.1742]

I'd buy them too.

[@somatic85]

I’m really impressed. As someone who has about 20 years in as a technician I really enjoyed watching the thought and consideration of every addition! If this gets out enough there is sure a high chance of possible endeavors out there for you. Great job pal

[@therockenduro]

This is amazing. I built a vapor blast cabinet and was given a commercial parts washer that I use a bucket heater with but this is a whole other level.

Hi Jim, I have just recently started watching your show, channel !! . I was a keen mechanic 30 years ago and I’m still loving it. I live in France now and don’t do much in the way of mechanics, but I love watching your videos, thank you ❤

[@Sugarkryptonite]

Would love to see the other video regarding how it was built, etc!

[@matthewharmer1656]

Great cleaning machine, I wish I had one!!! Great credit to your skills..

[@jacktad1971]

Jim, what an awesome bit of kit! I have been looking at a blasting cabinet and watching this video has just made my mind up into doing something similar. I am looking to build a workshop in the coming months and this is definitely going to to be included in the plans. I look forward to watching the videos once you've edited them on how you constructed it but, in the meantime, I will do some research on the individual components so I won't be completely pilfering your idea. Keep up the great work as it inspires me to do more and more myself.

[@kevinmartin5960]

Absolutely amazing machine, first cabinet I’ve seen that can do all, bravo.

[@MrJonnoG]

That's some excellent work you've done there, and very clever too! I literally laughed out loud even you showed us your solution to the door sealing conundrum. Brilliantly simple, but so very effective. I haven't checked your channel yet, as this is the first of your videos I've seen, but I'm really hoping that you've given an update on how it's faring and any revisions you've made. I did have an idea on how you might cut down the changeover time between the different processes by eliminating the manual rinse - a loop of pipe around the inner perimeter at the top of the walls, fitted with spray nozzles similar in design to those in a garden spray irrigation system to direct fresh water over all internal surfaces for a timed flush with fresh water should do the trick at the press of a button.

[@CameronConyer]

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. So satisfying. I’m considering starting a restoration business and this setup along with a laser setup would have me smitten.

[@michaelinmon522]

I’m loving your cleaning station, and am in the process of designing building something similar. One thing I’ll add is some magnets! Your door flap, a few magnets to hold it up out of the way for load/unload as well as when down. Some magnets for the gloves to hold them out of the way when desired as well.

[@autohog]

I really enjoyed this! May I ask what medium you use for vapor blasting and also just to clarify your last bath w air, was that just warm water or GT85? What’s GT85?

[@steventimme5268]

Love the idea. Nice job! I think I need to do this. One suggestion...use water tight switches installed INSIDE the cabinet to actuate solenoid valves to change from one operation to the next. No need to remove your hands from the gloves over and over.

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

You are not the first person to suggest this! Personally don't think it's such a great idea. It's such a harsh environment inside the cabinet even the best quality switches wouldn't last with the heat and high pressure. I'm already on my second set of high quality billet aluminium waterproof lights!

[@steventimme5268]

@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV True watertight switches aren't connected directly to the switch. It's just a mechanical linkage with a rubber seal connected to a remote switch. Even if it did leak, the liquid wouldn't harm anything. I can send a drawing if you're interested.

[@craigfiles7067]

How are you separating the drain between degreaser, slurry & cold-water rinse, are you using a 3-way ball valve? Do you have a build video or plans that i could purchase so i could build my own.

Great intro. When will part 2, as you mention, that goes deaper come out? Can not see it on Patreon site either. Wonder most how many watts of heater? Will not the introduction of cold compressed air quickly cool the degreaser fluid?

It's going great guns, it's had different lights, a new replacement slurry pump and a wiper motor. Apart from that, it's as it was when I built it. It's done hundreds and hundreds of hours of work and hasn't really given any trouble. All in all I'm really happy with it. 👍 I've started working on the design of MK2 but that's still a long way off!

[@bobkuzyk5562]

LOL, you're on a whole new level! I really enjoyed your video Jim, truly amazing work! Like many others, I was hoping you were going to put together a series of videos detailing the construction and setup of this unit, along with plans and a detailed parts list. Of course, available for a price, I believe today more then even a few years ago, there would be a huge market for it, from nirmal DIY individuals to many businesses that would purchase the total DIY, videos, plans, and parts list package, or even as a complete unassembled kit. Sadly, for me, it looks like you won't have it available in my lifetime. Being in my 70s, I often forget my clock is winding down. I'm also trying to finish the restoration of my 1965 GTO so I can leave it to my grandson once I'm gone. I'll keep checking back to see if things change. If you are keeping a list of interested parties that would like to purchase the plans, please add me to the list. Thank you, Bob Kuzyk [e-mail] Cabada

Everything you did is very impressive ! Yet after trying myself and watching at the cost of everything in the end converting a dry blast cabinet can be so cheap that I would probably make three separate design with three different cabinets, which would drastically avoid cross contamination between all the media, and also help with the maintenance as all the designs are not mixed, but if you don’t have space clearly you did a « monster » here 😂

have you tried, after cleaning it all up, use stainless ball media to peen the surface? the idea is that, that exhaust side in particular looked quite porous (due to surface corrosion of aluminium), and glass bead at best just cleans it up, but stainless might be heavy enough to level it out, make it smoother, less prone to catching dirt and corroding?
