Sandblasting is a blast

Well, time to try out the sandblasting. I first hooked up the little cheap hand hopper I got from Harbor Freight and it worked, but not very well. I then hooked up the roll around siphon rig my son-in-law John loaned me. I had renewed the siphon hose, as it was deteriorated, with a new longer one and things didn't work at all. Found out if I shortened the hose and lowered the pressure it worked pretty well. With all the research I did on blasting, they are right. This is a messy job. You also need serious protective gear. It also goes through blasting media like Montazuma's revenge. Sooo, need to find a place to buy media cheaper and build a portable enclosure to blast in and be able to reclaim the media. I'm not detoured by this as I learned some patience while woodworking. It is kinda neat to watch all the rust and paint desolve right before your eyes. As you can see, I am easily entertained.
