I've used a OTTO bin for mine, the large green square plastic bin. I cut "hand" holes in the side and a viewing hole in the lid.

I have a 3hp 15cfm compressor, and I use fine sand. Bought the sand blasting kit/gun from bunnings for $24 and it works well.

You can make the actual cabinet out of timber or wood its just to contain the grit or oxide.

Get a good extraction system going as you need clean air so you ca nsee what yr doing.
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

thanks dave ,I was thinking of ally cabinet 2mtrs x 1 mtr 600mm in height with a hoper in the bottom to let the sand run in to .I would fit a light is side and a pipe to suck the dust out from this would have a door at one end as well so I could fit say a compelte gear box in there .I start in the morning and see how I go .

i saw a great one once made from a kombi engine compartment to put the compressor and the rear hatch compartment was where you do your blasting(the back half of a kombi up against a wall)

If your making the Cabinet make it big enough to fit a guard inside and these are pretty solid and can stand blasting.

Yes make a upside down pyrimid so as teh blast media fall to one point and can be re used again

Make sure you use laminated glass in the window and against the light source so it dont shatter. Large rubber gloves are available

we used to have one at work good for getting old paint off,btw glass in it was 6mm thick, had big rubber gauntlets for your hands to go in🙂
i think Gasweld sells them over here if you need a pic of what they look like
