You are correct; news-print halftone has been used on monuments and photo-reproduction for years. Thanks for watching and for your reply. To see more of what our photoresist film is used for, see our Sandcarving channel on UA-cam or more details at Rayzist.com
No problem comes with the territory. In fact, there was a flaw in the artwork which was not detected until the image transfer to the stone, and then it was revealed. The artwork was adjusted, and the piece remade...
I'm surprised that such a method works. My father cut stencils by hand for lettering on headstones for 40 years. I'm impressed that this technique has been developed. I intend to have a QR code on my headstone that links to a memorial website with info about me and my life and a video that starts automatically... "greetings from beyond..." lol
Thanks for watching and for the comment. Your father is the skilled one to have done this by hand for years. Our photographic film has come a long way -no question- I have seen the QR codes on stone, and there are a few methods out heir which makes a lot of sense and a tremendous lasting memorial for those who visit.
Awesome. We appreciate you viewing the clip. If you have any more interest in the product or process, visit Rayzist.com or consider taking a Sandcarving Workshop.
THANK YOU you teach very well...and thank you for taking your time out of your day and showing people how to do this. People really do appreciate it. I've never seen this done before..im very impressed. keep up the great work. Bless your heart.
You are extremely kind. Glad you have a positive takeaway from this video. If you would like to learn more about Sandcarving and how you might incorporate this into your own business we would encourage you to attend one of our Workshops! Lots of work, fun, practical education and you create some beautiful pieces.
Good Morning Liz...that was a great video! I've never seen that process and was fascinated by what you do. It was a beautiful job and I want to learn more. Thanks so much for sharing that! I subscribed to your channel so I can watch more of this...!
Thank you for watching and your comments. If you have any more interest in the product or process, consider taking a Sandcarving Workshop or have a look at Rayzist.com for more details.
Thank you Sandcarving for taking the time to demonstrate this technique, it was enlightening. To the rude critics, your poor behaviour is help you feel superior but I guess that many of you have never done any similar work or have never shared your skills by video. My wife and I have done a lot of sandblasting in small cabinets like this, gloves are not essential. If you blast your hand, you only do it once and the effect is temporary. Often gloves are a hinderance. Please feel free to upload a video showing how you do it.
You are very welcome. Glad you had a positive takeaway from the video. Be sure to subscribe to our channel; we are uploading a new video on to metal tumblers soon.
What you do is perform service for someone that helps them heal through their pain of losing a loved one so I don't know why people have anything negative to say about what you do I think what you do is really great looks amazing thank you
That's really neat! I've often wondered how photographic images are engraved onto stone. Now I know - a mixture of technology and skill. Thanks for the demo.
Glad we could benefit you with the helpful knowledge. If you do have interest in decorating onto glass or stone consider attending a Sandcarving Workshop or following our channel we will have another upload shortly.
Wow, love it! 25 Plus years ago I was sandblasting into thick glass. Those days it was draw the picture on the resist & cut it out by hand & blast. This is really awesome, thanks for sharing!
Haha... that's quite funny! You will love our training videos. ua-cam.com/play/PLROVreHof9GNq8tVVb7u-Da0pPf4AqyVW.html Thank you again for your viewership!
I am doing a granite slab for a 2 week old baby boy. There family can’t afford to buy one so I offered to do it for them. Plz help. What supplies do i need? I have sublimation.
Hi mam my name is Aditya i am from india i want to know about the photo printing machine that you have been using in this video plz mam reply me ,plzzz ❤️@sandcarving
I haven't done glass etch for years (decades). Techniques and such have come a long ways and, obviously, still require a lot of skill [and decent equipment, including dust collection), but you made it look easy. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you for watching... the process is rather simplistic, technique is necessary to achieving overall success but nothing that cannot easily be grasped. We would encourage you to take a Sandcarving Workshop which might get you back on the path. See: Rayzist.com
NIce work, but I have too say if you dont start wearing a respirator when you are painting, "YOUR" photo will end up on one of those stones sooner than later. PPE goes a long way to ensure longevity when working with materials such as this. You did a great job on the photo transfer, and RIP who ever that guy is.
Thank you for watching! Photoresist film is impressive and provides awesome abilities to engrave on a verity of products and being almost unlimited to the detail you can achieve opens up a world of opportunities. Thank You Again!
It amazes me, when I watch a video of someone doing something creative that not many other people can or are doing. And all of the experts in the comments, are telling her what she is doing incorrectly or how it should have been done. The way they would have done it, or what other materials she should have used. When clearly, this is what the person does as their profession or art form. I airbrush, and the quickest way to get me to not take a job, is to start telling me how to do what I do.
Thank you for your kindness. We do value the opinions and take to heart what we can do to produce a better training or demonstration video. I appreciate your reply!
Appreciate you watching. Glad you were able to have a positive takeaway from our clip. Rayzist.com if you have further interest in the product or process.
There is a plastic handle for the razor blade available really cheaply. It holds the blade at the right angle to scrape without digging in. Auto body guys use them to remove runs and imperfections in paint without doing any damage. Saves ruining a really nice job with one tiny slip!
I had no idea, what you were doing , until the last few minutes or so... This is awesome. One day , I will do it for my Mother. May she rest in Peace.. Thank you..
Information on the blue vinyl mask should be part of your video, as asked previously. Also, info about why you chose the fairly course image resolution. What are the reasons for not going with a coarser or finer resolution?
So what does nearly 150 thumbs downers have against this... there wasn't any stupid music completely blocking out the original sounds, it wasn't a high-speed replay video, the instructor was pretty detailed on the different processes, and the final result looked like it turned out nice
Definitely deserved a thumbs up. A lot of prep and editing for a vid like this, but 150 thumbs down for over 200k views is an excellent ratio. Some people are just assholes and vote down on everything, regardless of content or talent. I have one hater on my vids, and no matter what I post, they give it a thumbs down within an hour of posting. I figure their life must be fairly miserable if all they have to look forward to is voting down a video.
I've never done any of this in my life, and I can easily spot many mistakes. The most egregious one, that can't be fixed easily, is that the image is on crooked right from the start. Also, by my own reasoning, shouldn't the areas that will hold more paint be the areas that should be blasted more? So blasting the dark jacket would be pointless; it's masked off, isn't it? Other comments have highlighted other things as well, though I can't see why people have to be so rude when they comment. That doesn't help anybody.
I'm a fellow etcher and this blows my mind..I've done about 40 hand etched headstones and still amazed at the tricks of the trade..was wondering where to get that film transfer material..hows that done ? Awesome video !
Watch her other videos. She presents all the products you need (in fact these are comercial videos), you will realise that it will cost you a fortune to do this yourself.
Thank you for watching. The purpose of this clip was to show how to sandblasting a halftone photo. You can make a sandcarving mask for many marketplaces, award, gift, recognition, memorisation, etc. you can also make a nice business or hobby from this medium. Your investment is reasonable. Please see Rayzist.com for more details or consider taking a Sandcarving Workshop sometime in the near future.
Liz, I think you did a fine job on this Instructional Video. Judging from some of the comments below, I think it was Way above there pay scale. Sounds like a children's chat room. Have a Great Day !! Tom O
A3Kr0n - she was shooting too close to the stone. Turn pressure up a bit, and move the nozzle back, for a bigger blast size. She could've also used a sweeping motion.
Thank you. We appreciate your viewership. If you would like to see more training videos, please see our "Sandcarving" channel. We have topics covering Wine bottles, Art Glass, and Monumental products.
Thank you for making and sharing this video. You are very skilled, both in what you are doing and in explaining how to do it. I’m sure every woman on earth would like to know your secret of how you use a sandblaster barehanded and still keep paint on your nails!?! Lol!
I love reading the comments more than watching the video. It’s amazing how many professionals there are out there do you really think anyone truly cares what you think. Nice job by the way.
The one thing I would add is not to have paper towels and other flammable items like your glass cleaner next to the stone. Set it on the counter behind you. Also, make sure you have a fire extinguisher in close proximity. I realize these should be no- brained things- but when giving a tutorial SAFETY has to be at the forefront of every video. The video was well executed, and I can appreciate the fact that there isn’t a bunch of music in the background that I have to listen to. You are straight and to the point.
Lol, you are 12hrs ahead of me from writing pretty much the same thing as you, Great minds think alike ! I am 40yo Col from Warners bay Newcastle N.S.W. I wish you a happy life Mark Gordon - life is what you make of it !
I thought the picture was turning out great until you uncovered the area of his suit. It appears to be streaked both horizontally and vertically, and the streaks look like the width of the spray from you sandblaster. Have you tried increasing the distance from the gun to the surface so you cover a much larger area when blasting? You may need to increase the PSI, but blasting a larger area may not show up the streaking as much. Maybe it got a bit over blasted as well?
You are correct. There is/was streaking to the bottom corner revealed in the darker area. Not coming from the sandblast, as the blasting media removes (strips away) wherever its directed, the problem was actually from the "printed" artwork image (film print) which was neither seen in the printed artwork nor the photomask until after blasted... The photomask is a direct image transfer of the artwork, and unfortunately, in the darker areas, the streaking was not detected (or we were not clearing looking hard enough).
This is very interesting tut and I learned a lot! Thank you from Germany for sharing. (And please ignore the disgusting comments which hopefully will be a dying breed in weirdful times...)
Appreciate your reply. If you have a look at our UA-cam channel "Sandcarving" we do have a video on the process of making a mask. We have several online videos as helps. Another posting shortly on working with powder-coated metals.
The streaks from horizontal/vertical passes with the blaster are *super* obvious at the end (17:02). I think that's why they barely show it done and skip right to a close up of the halftone dots.
Agreed. It's awful, like the picture pattern on an old black and white TV with 'interference' - remember that ! More time, overlapping, and blasting maybe both diagonals and the cicrcular motion all over?
Hello John, You are correct. The image had to be reproduced. It was determined there was a streaking pattern in the print film which transferred to the resist mask, unfortunately, undetected until the masking material was removed. The process is "image transfer" if your first step is not correct your last will not be either. Thanks for watching our clip.
Thank You for watching...please have a look at our Sandcarving channel for our other videos, UA-cam.com/Sandcarving see our Learn Sandcarving playlist.
Amazingly Beautiful job. Not something I would ever do because it is outside my price range for the equipment... Just want to say I think you did an amazing job... and unlike some of the other commenters, I never noticed your nails, lol, I was Intrigued with your amazing work... Again, VERY BEAUTIFUL... And for the ones commenting on gloves, Resporators, etc., fully contained said it all...
Thank you for watching and your kind comments. You might be surprised at how affordable the process is. Possibly consider attending a Sandcarving Workshop sometime in the near future.
Well done and beautiful result. I would have never guessed that method. Please don't be offended, but there were several concerning safety issues. You used a flame indoors near the napkin and aerosol can. The propane torch could both ignite the napkin and blow if off the table onto other combustibles. You blew off the sandblast media residue without safety goggles. That stuff gets in your eyes and results in pain and injury. Lastly you used the razor blade without leather gloves. And please don't excuse yourself with a comment that you've done this a million times without incident. It just takes one time and no one is immune from accidents.
Thanks you for watching and for the comments. We do have several on-line videos and each one is an effort to offer helps. Please see our UA-cam.com/Sandcarving
Check out Rayzist.com. we are the manufactures of Sandblasting Systems, as well the photoresist film being used. You can source just about everything you need from Rayzist for this process.
The horizontal lines, unfortunately, were from the printed image. Undetectable in the print and mask until blasted. The process of a photoresist is an image transfer if there is a flaw in the image the mask and ultimately the engraved time will be flawed. Appreciate you checking out our clip.
You shouldn't use an open flame torch to heat up the stone surface because it could cause spalling. A much safer way is to use a hot plate, or a hot air gun. (HEAT GUN) You can use a shop forced air heater for large stone. I just thought someone would want to know. After all these materials are not cheap. I'm going to use this method to create a tombstone with my grandsons picture on it. Thank you for the upload. It is appreciated.
Use a HEATING PAD. On high, lay the pad out and place the stone on it and give it about or 10 mins before you start to warm... I would never use a torch on a cold stone. Some stone can be very cold and the sudden heat can make it crack or shatter, and yes you could be hurt... Use a heating pad.
Use a heat gun, instead of a fuel flame... if you are trying to warm up a surface for applying something to adhere to it. Fuel flames create carbon soot that covers your workspace, leaving a 'dusty' type layer...
@@darkswami Anything that uses fuel to burn. (propane, oxy, gasoline, MAPP) will leave soot. I recommended using a heat gun, which is basically an hair drier on steroids.
The stencil material is called photoresist film which is a product of Rayzist. If you would like more detail on the products and the film please see Rayzist.com or consider taking a Sandcarving Workshop. Thank you for watching.
It's a very interesting process. Personally, I would have masked the entire stone before I sandblasted the image. I mean, after all, you were going to mask it anyway.
seriously... i have doubts the vacuum being drawn on the sandblasting cabinet can out pace the input from the gun, keeping the operator safe from silicosis. understandable, since the damn cabinet gloves dry rot to pieces in a few months- so we went to an “always wear vinyl gloves inside the sandblasting gloves” policy, only saves $20 & 20 minutes a year, but we’re staying safer.
RIP random dead dude. I finished it to see your excellent skill, but it’s you that attracted me to see this footage.
Fascinating that a newsprint-type of halftone image is used for this process. Thank you for demonstrating.
You are correct; news-print halftone has been used on monuments and photo-reproduction for years. Thanks for watching and for your reply. To see more of what our photoresist film is used for, see our Sandcarving channel on UA-cam or more details at Rayzist.com
Love how comenters criticized your methods but never actually realize your work turned out perfect.
No problem comes with the territory. In fact, there was a flaw in the artwork which was not detected until the image transfer to the stone, and then it was revealed. The artwork was adjusted, and the piece remade...
I've been sandblasting for 41 yrs this system would be great in my shop for portraits instead of etching them great video
I'm surprised that such a method works. My father cut stencils by hand for lettering on headstones for 40 years. I'm impressed that this technique has been developed. I intend to have a QR code on my headstone that links to a memorial website with info about me and my life and a video that starts automatically... "greetings from beyond..." lol

Our photographic film has come a long way -no question- I have seen the QR codes on stone, and there are a few methods out heir which makes a lot of sense and a tremendous lasting memorial for those who visit.
Add a hologram that pops-up from the middle of the stone. My Dad and 2 brothers did the same lettering. Dad invented his own stenciling system.
I'm glad I watched til the end. The paint really makes the image stand out on the stone. Very nice!
Awesome. We appreciate you viewing the clip. If you have any more interest in the product or process, visit Rayzist.com or consider taking a Sandcarving Workshop.
So many cool people with great talents. Fun to watch even though I will not do something like this . But thank you for all your hard work and time.

We are very glad you watched!
How can you buy the product to make this
Wow, love it! 25 Plus years ago I was sandblasting into thick glass. Those days it was draw the picture on the resist & cut it out by hand & blast. This is really awesome, thanks for sharing!
yep years ago i thought etching glass with chemicals was cool- ths is outstanding
Funny how I was watching a video on how to cook a rib eye steak on pan and this came up on the recommendation.
Now I want that steak memorialized.
That will be your final meal.
I’ve never watched a how to video with so much suspense and anticipation. 😃

poor quality etch. Don't you see the striping/blotchiness, in the jacket? She had the gun too close.
I've never done any of this in my life, and I can easily spot many mistakes. The most egregious one, that can't be fixed easily, is that the image is on crooked right from the start.

Thank you for the free lessons. It's good to know I can do this myself because they charge way too much where I live.
There's a reason it costs a lot if done properly.

I think you did a fine job on this Instructional Video. Judging from some of the comments below, I think it was Way above there pay scale. Sounds like a children's chat room.
Have a Great Day !!
Tom O
I agree
Everything was awesome until the very end when I saw the bands in the suit. Any way to make that more solid?
Yes.
Why are you asking?
@GuinnessandPizza
Yes.
Why are you asking.
What is the purpose of your question?
Seriously
@GuinnessandPizza
Oh!
Then you're asking the wrong person.
Waaaaaaaahaaaaahaaahaaaaahaaaaa
@GuinnessandPizza
I am sorry.
I am just trolling you .
A3Kr0n - she was shooting too close to the stone. Turn pressure up a bit, and move the nozzle back, for a bigger blast size. She could've also used a sweeping motion.
That’s what I like about youtube you can always find intriguing subjects.
She's having a blast doing this
Thanks for the demonstration. Well done.

Can you make a video of how you get the photo on the film
Thank you for that.... I can tell the quality of your work is superb and you care about what you are doing.
Thank you for the comment. Glad you have a good take-away from our clip.
Thank you for making and sharing this video. You are very skilled, both in what you are doing and in explaining how to do it. I’m sure every woman on earth would like to know your secret of how you use a sandblaster barehanded and still keep paint on your nails!?! Lol!
don't you see how blotchy the jacket is? That's not skill.
You have no idea how much this video has helped me. Thank thank thank-you
Thank You. Very glad to have offered you some assistance. Thank you for the reply.
I love reading the comments more than watching the video. It’s amazing how many professionals there are out there do you really think anyone truly cares what you think. Nice job by the way.
Thank you... Appreciate you watching.
I would call them "Experts", Professionals get paid for what they know, usually...
The one thing I would add is not to have paper towels and other flammable items like your glass cleaner next to the stone. Set it on the counter behind you. Also, make sure you have a fire extinguisher in close proximity. I realize these should be no- brained things- but when giving a tutorial SAFETY has to be at the forefront of every video.

Agree. thank you for your comments. In the future will be a bit more cautious on what we show and explain use common sense safety measures.
Cool video never even thought how these were made. UA-cam algorithm doing its thing
Lol, you are 12hrs ahead of me from writing pretty much the same thing as you,

it seems like youtube randomly recommended this video to loads of people for some reason
Amazing work and how in the world did the first person to do this figure it out amazes me.

for some reason its weirdly satisfying to watch people do stuff like this
Appreciate the reply. Glad you were able to get some positive take away from this clip.
your welcome, have a nice day :)
This is very interesting tut and I learned a lot! Thank you from Germany for sharing.
(And please ignore the disgusting comments which hopefully will be a dying breed in weirdful times...)
Thank you for watching, and I am glad you had a positive take away from the video. No worries, you take the good with the not so good sometimes.
Wow! Fascinating. I've never seen this process before.
fantastic working.
Thank You! Thanks for watching.
Very interesting technique. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you have a good take away from watching our clip.
Can you make a video of how to make the half tone picture in compurer
I would most definitely enjoy a video on making the mask. Thanks awesome video!
Appreciate your reply. If you have a look at our UA-cam channel "Sandcarving" we do have a video on the process of making a mask. We have several online videos as helps. Another posting shortly on working with powder-coated metals.
The streaks from horizontal/vertical passes with the blaster are *super* obvious at the end (17:02). I think that's why they barely show it done and skip right to a close up of the halftone dots.
Agreed. It's awful, like the picture pattern on an old black and white TV with 'interference' - remember that !
More time, overlapping, and blasting maybe both diagonals and the cicrcular motion all over?
Hello John,
You are correct. The image had to be reproduced. It was determined there was a streaking pattern in the print film which transferred to the resist mask, unfortunately, undetected until the masking material was removed.
The process is "image transfer" if your first step is not correct your last will not be either.
Thanks for watching our clip.
It's best technic. I like it. I wish to journey your life. Mam. Thanks. I watch again by again.
Thank You for watching...please have a look at our Sandcarving channel for our other videos, UA-cam.com/Sandcarving see our Learn Sandcarving playlist.
That was interesting. Had never seen or even knew how this was / is done. Thanks for sharing.
Tanto trabajo para un modelo tan feo.jaja
We appreciate you watching!
Amazingly Beautiful job. Not something I would ever do because it is outside my price range for the equipment... Just want to say I think you did an amazing job... and unlike some of the other commenters, I never noticed your nails, lol, I was Intrigued with your amazing work... Again, VERY BEAUTIFUL...
And for the ones commenting on gloves, Resporators, etc., fully contained said it all...
Thank you for watching and your kind comments. You might be surprised at how affordable the process is. Possibly consider attending a Sandcarving Workshop sometime in the near future.
Great video -- very interesting. Please ignore the safety mavens who always seem to get up on their high horse about something.
Glad you enjoined. You certainly take the good with the not so good sometimes. Mostly all useful critiques.
Nicely done 👍
Well done and beautiful result. I would have never guessed that method. Please don't be offended, but there were several concerning safety issues. You used a flame indoors near the napkin and aerosol can. The propane torch could both ignite the napkin and blow if off the table onto other combustibles. You blew off the sandblast media residue without safety goggles. That stuff gets in your eyes and results in pain and injury. Lastly you used the razor blade without leather gloves. And please don't excuse yourself with a comment that you've done this a million times without incident. It just takes one time and no one is immune from accidents.
the carpet that covers the working table - is it flame resistant? The company's insurer might ask one sad day.
Also no gloves when blasting and the dust could escape from the arm holes and she could breath it in. Lung cancer is bad news.
That was very interesting. Would love to see more of this
Thanks you for watching and for the comments. We do have several on-line videos and each one is an effort to offer helps. Please see our UA-cam.com/Sandcarving
What's with some of this negative comments. Looks great
Misogyny
impressive, I often wondered how that was done on granite. nice job!
Thank you! Appreciate the comment. Glad you learned something. If you want to learn about Sandcarving, we would encourage you to attend a Workshop.
Thank you! where do you buy the kind of sand blaster an grits that you used in this video?
Check out Rayzist.com. we are the manufactures of Sandblasting Systems, as well the photoresist film being used. You can source just about everything you need from Rayzist for this process.
thanks for the info
The University of UA-cam. Now I can make my own gravestone. Thanks
✌️✌️🙏🙏
I've always wanted to know how this was done and now I know..Thanks UA-cam i learn something new everyday 👍
but you can still see the horizontal lines from moving the nozzle back and forth.
The horizontal lines, unfortunately, were from the printed image. Undetectable in the print and mask until blasted. The process of a photoresist is an image transfer if there is a flaw in the image the mask and ultimately the engraved time will be flawed. Appreciate you checking out our clip.
Beautiful job and awesome presentation!
You shouldn't use an open flame torch to heat up the stone surface because it could cause spalling. A much safer way is to use a hot plate, or a hot air gun. (HEAT GUN) You can use a shop forced air heater for large stone. I just thought someone would want to know. After all these materials are not cheap. I'm going to use this method to create a tombstone with my grandsons picture on it. Thank you for the upload. It is appreciated.
Hot Air gun is a fantastic idea.
@@thebeststooge I'm glad I could help.
I was wondering the same thing. An open flame is dangerous to almost any surface.
I always wondered how they did it!
Use a HEATING PAD. On high, lay the pad out and place the stone on it and give it about or 10 mins before you start to warm... I would never use a torch on a cold stone. Some stone can be very cold and the sudden heat can make it crack or shatter, and yes you could be hurt... Use a heating pad.
Real fancy work! Thank you for uploading.
Use a heat gun, instead of a fuel flame... if you are trying to warm up a surface for applying something to adhere to it. Fuel flames create carbon soot that covers your workspace, leaving a 'dusty' type layer...
Steph Ss gas flames too?
Burning and warming are two completely different things...
Great suggestion. You can defiantly use an industrial heat gun to warm the surface of the stone. Great tip. Thank you for watching this clip.
@@darkswami Anything that uses fuel to burn. (propane, oxy, gasoline, MAPP) will leave soot. I recommended using a heat gun, which is basically an hair drier on steroids.
@@vickijo2343 Gas BURNS... leaves a carbon/sooty film. I am not talking about the marble burning. Use the internet to learn some chemistry.
I wonder if the family who had this done has ever watched this video
They probably gave her permission to make and post the video. OR it could be her family member.
Where did you get the blue photo mat that you applied in the beginning? Excellent and informative video. Truly a "work" of beautiful art.
The stencil material is called photoresist film which is a product of Rayzist. If you would like more detail on the products and the film please see Rayzist.com or consider taking a Sandcarving Workshop. Thank you for watching.
Rayzist Photomask -Thanks for the info. I may be contacting you at a later date.😃
We look forward to helping anytime. Rayzist.com when your ready.
TIP: You must have a previous obsession with peeling labels off things to do this.
Interesting, I've never seen this done before. It gives me some ideas...
nice pfp
pls, make video s to how you get the halftone picture on the film.
That's right
Very Talented...Wonderful Job!
Thank you Dennis! We appreciate you watching our clip. Please head to our UA-cam channel for more training videos. UA-cam.com/Sandcarving
It's a very interesting process. Personally, I would have masked the entire stone before I sandblasted the image. I mean, after all, you were going to mask it anyway.
✌️✌️🙏🙏
interesting technique!
Nice job!
Nice video!
How much would such a job cost?
Thank you
Cool!
That was soo cool thank you for sharing !
Appreciate the feedback!
Watch that torch and that spray can !!! 😨🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching. Common sense practices are always encouraged.
Really looks great
Beautiful work! That being said, please for the love of god will you put on some damn PPE!!!
Thanks for checking out our clip, your comments are noted.

@@MultiSkyman1 Personal Protective Equipment. Gloves, safety goggles, etc
thanks.
seriously... i have doubts the vacuum being drawn on the sandblasting cabinet can out pace the input from the gun, keeping the operator safe from silicosis. understandable, since the damn cabinet gloves dry rot to pieces in a few months- so we went to an “always wear vinyl gloves inside the sandblasting gloves” policy, only saves $20 & 20 minutes a year, but we’re staying safer.
