Sandblasting cabinet
I figured I needed a place to sandblast where I could contain the sand so I modified this old water tank that blew out of the truck one day and split open. The second time I used the sand it got so dusty in there that I couldn't see what I was doing. I put a 220 volt ventilation fan out of a barn in the filler hole and added the piece of ducting to blow the dust outside. I also added a couple of 300 watt lights. Now I could see what I was doing and am in clean air when blasting.
One thing about containing the sand, every cat on the farm wants to use it as a litter box. I rigged up that screening box and put it against the side of the tank. I'm putting a hopper on the inside of the tank so you scoop the used sand into the hopper and it runs down over the screen. Now I can keep the cats out of the sand. That screen thingy is something out of the oilfield that I picked up at the dump. It's a fairly heavy plastic grid with stainless screen on one side and works like it was made for the job. The fan moves enough air that all the fine dust goes out the door so I can reuse the sand a number of times.
