i was looking at getting that, i'm too cheap to buy media though.
i was gonna go to the beach and grab a 5 gal bucket of sand, but some people told me it's not a good idea.
i figured i'd make a decent sized sand box in the back yard and lay the parts in the sand then just blast away.
let me know how it works out, what are you gonna use for media?

I got a 25? lb of glass beads from HF for like $15 or something.

I ended up riveting the gloves to the box b/c I'm impatient.

yeah I'm a lazy ---- plus I've got a mental thing where I can't finish things 100%. Riveter was from who knows where but yeah most likely HF ;)

Went pretty quick. Cleaned the wheel in 2-3 minutes and maybe 10 minutes on the plate. Woulda been much faster but my compressor holds like a teaspoon of compressed air.

dont use sand, first you got to strain it and make sure its dry, plus it scratches aluminum pretty easily.
if you use a cabinet then you can recover the media, i recommend the glass beads, but make sure you got eye protection because that ---- hurts when its in your eyes
