Brian,
I second that. Years ago, my guess is late 80s or early 90s there was a
company, Savings by Design, Inc., that was
selling a cardboard blast cabinet. I
used that for several years until Harbor Freight
came out with a plastic table top
one. Used those 2, the cardboard and plastic
one, for many years and at least 2
cars. Then a friend gave me a nice one on rollers.
I also bought a Harbor Freight pressure blaster. Used that in the corner o=
f my
back yard. Tied a piece of rope across the "L"
in one corner, hung a heavy plastic
sheet acoss the rope with clothes pins. So I had
a nice "L" with the plastic, vertical
and then on the ground. That way I could recover about 90 - 95% of the san=
d.
I used a piece of screen over a funnel as I
scooped up the sand and refilled the
pressure blaster.
Check out the article I wrote on how I did it:
http://autox.team.net/morgan/tech/blasting/mediablast.html
I mention the cardboard cabinet in this article, about 1/2 way down:
http://www.team.net/www/morgan/tech/art017_2.html
It's a shame that they still aren't available. I
don't know why they company quite selling them
and folded, but my guess is the plastic ones just got to competative
in price.
One note on using a Shop vac to evacuate the dust from the cabinet. Put a
couple of inches of water in the bottom of the vac. This will help keep fr=
om
clogging the filter so quickly.
