Sorry if this is a duplicate posting, still trying to learn how to do this.
Guess I should read the directions....
I built the same one with 1/4 inch hardboard, Masonite or whatever, like the
pegboards are made of, but without the holes, of course. Duh. Had to adjust
the pattern for the thickness, reinforced the joints with sheet metal
angles, like roof edge trim, caulked all the seams. Works fine for me, but I
generally use glass or plastic and do small parts. If you were going to do
heavy duty stuff, consider some replaceable panels inside the finished
cabinet. If you have a hobby compressor like I do, get the smaller nozzles
from TP. Don't remember the size, and it is kind of cold and rainy out so
I'm not going to the garage right now.

In reply to:
I just got a blast cabinet kit from TP Tools. (It has the gun, plumbing,
gloves, window, etc., etc.) Their plans suggest building the cabinet out of
3/4" plywood, and it needs almost 2 sheets.
This means the cabinet will weigh over 200 lbs by the time I finish it. Has
anyone built one
of these? Do you think it is possible to use thinner wood for some or all of
it, possibly with strategic reinforcing ribs, etc?
