 Tip has plans for blast cabinets at a reasonable price.  Having built TIPs
cabinet I am glad I got the plans because I think it was easier than trying
to copy another one since I wanted my own size for my projects.  I also
bought a bunch of the parts from TIP because they were convenient.  I like
mine a lot and I think I will try that fan idea of yours because I don't
like running my shop vac in that small room where I put the blast cabinet
it gets too noisy and besides it probably is messing up the shop vac.  I
have run it without the vac and its ok for a few minutes at a time so a fan
will probably be perfect.
