HMT Blast Cabinet
 

Got a $30 ($24 with 20% coupon) blasting "kit" from harbor freight

Spent another $18 or so on the other parts. Plastic sheet was free, rubber thing is a firewall A/C hose grommet. Sand trap is a scotch-brite pad.

Waiting for caulking to dry

Bad ass. I want to see it in action.

Re: HMT Blast Cabinet
 

The window on top will be glazed over after the first blasting or the top will pop off from the pressure. Cool idea if it works.

were a resporator with that bad boy!

Re: HMT Blast Cabinet
 

ya I pretty much expect that (glazing).

Didnt really think that through thoroughly but it'll get very little use. It has a ~3" x 2" vent with the scotch-brite on it. Im hoping that will keep the pressure in check. I'll be giving it a test drive tomorrow.

very nice!
window won't glaze over too bad, just gets dusty. some people tape those clear plastic overhead projector sheets on there, or you can just replace the glass every so often.

If you can find a way to hook up a shop vac through the scotch bright it would be money. It'll keep the dust down and provide a constant vacuum (even when blasting) so you wont have dust blowing out the area around the gloves (or any other leaks). Might need a better filter than scotch bright so you don't fry your shop vac. try it and see!
