Re: tips and tricks H/F blasting cabinet
heres a few pics of my homemade blast cabinet. I just recently changed the arms holes to have more elbow room. Im going to build me one of those bucket vac systems, my filter on my shop vac fills up fast also.

Re: tips and tricks H/F blasting cabinet
Get extra gloves, especially the one opposite of your dominant hand. You will find yourself holding parts in that glove and blasting holes in it. When I worked for a clemco distributor and we sold 3 lefts for every 1 right. Also see if you can get some window liner for the window. It protects the window. Similar to a helmet tear off. As your blasting the window will etch, plastic window liner is much cheaper than getting new glass cut.

Re: tips and tricks H/F blasting cabinet
Nice cabinet Chevelle! I am building one very similar - what did you use for the new arm holes and how did you attach them to the cabinet?
