Idea #123, 342
I was drooling through the Eastwood catalog and noticed they sell a
pressure sandblaster. From looking at it, it seems that it would be very easy to get two or three propane cylinders and make the conversion into one, or convert a tall one. Theirs had the fill valve at the top, in a concave top, which would be just the top cut off and flipped over. Thoughts? |

It isn't easy to weld up thin metal so it's airtight. In fact, just start with a bigger tank. I've seen this done before, plans on the web somewhere. I used to own a little sandblaster and I got rid of it. Too dang messy. Only way it worked OK for me was when I also had a gas-powered air compressor on a trailer and I'd do the whole thing out in the middle of some field somewhere. GWE |
There have been a couple of designs posted here. Unfortunately the
bookmarks that I have for them are no longer valid: http://www.geocities.com/picketfence...cts/sand1.html http://www.tcis.net/~kwag98/Sblaster.htm I don't know who the owner of the 1st was/is, the 2nd one was "Wild Bill". How about it, 'Bill, do you have a new link to yours? If you Google-group RCM for "pressure blaster", you'll find a few threads. Bob (from now on I'm going to save the web page, not just the link) |
The tcis server is a left-over remnant from an ISP purchase.. sometimes that
server is working, sometimes not. I think it has to do with which way the wind is blowing. It was available at about noon-thirty EST today. I haven't gotten around to transferring it to a more reliable location yet. WB ................... "Bob Engelhardt" wrote in message ... There have been a couple of designs posted here.
