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.

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
