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

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.

Re: HMT Blast Cabinet
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!
