I love how you go from "junk" to something that looks like it could function to what looks like a finished product one could buy at your local hardware store. Fantastic videos, inspiring to watch and I always learn something each time I watch one.
Yeah, thougth that too, but i was a little bit worried of the high frequency start... May be not a Problem on a old lathe, if disconnected from the power grid... but on a modern lathe with electronic controls, or a frequency converter this could cause some problems...
A few shares from my builds over the years: 8:40 should have been a cross for clean out A rubber backing disc for sanding makes a good top valve also. Use a traffic cone for a funnel
So... by putting water in to the tank, as is more dense than the gases, you can ensure that nothing is left in to the bottle and you just do it extreme enough without loosing any part of your body by a explosion.
Filling the tanks with water prevents any residual gasses from igniting and exploding during the cutting process. While you are right that the welds should be certified for pressure vessels the tanks he's made are not critical use and the rubber diaphragms at the top will leak pressure as the material he used is not necessarily rated for moderate to high PSI. Still though I would have tig welded the work instead of mig welding it because mig welds are not rated for the kind of strengths required for pressure vessels as is tig and stick welding.
@@freelectron2029 Guess you don't think do you. Mig welds are not used in critical welding in military applications and nuclear applications because the welds are not on the same level of reliability as stick or tig. Filling the tanks with water reduces and or eliminates the volume of potential explosive gas, this is something done on fuel tanks. Not all rubber material is made the same so it's not rated the same nor can it be used in all applications involving pressurized gasses / liquids.
What is with the critics? Start your own channel and do anything creative... except negative comments... because they are stupid and irrelevant. This dude is a very talented fabricator! Good stuff!
I couldn't see how it was piped up for media, but one bit of advice we got was if you need an elbow, instead use a tee with one branch blocked of with a stop end, this is because an elbow wears out as the media changes direction, whereas if you use a tee the media blocks the unused branch and can never wear out. Seemples :) :) thanks for many excellent videos
You deeply broke my heart, when I saw you, cutting the tanks, over the lathe, with your plasma torch. Not even a tiny bit of protection over the bed......don,t you know that these magnificient beast are on the edge of extinction.... But I love your work....and I won,t submit your case to the IAOLO (International Association of Old Late Owner). LOL
Have a home built sand blaster similar to that but my cousin built it. He has a professional one now so he gave me his built one. It works pretty good not quite as fast as this one but still works decent. I Put new cab corners and rockers on my truck used it to blast the rust off it. Also let neighbor use it a few times has saved me bunch of money over years. Decent build man I like it Thumbs up!
Impressive......but a $25 sand blasting gun and a bucket will do the same job.....i made a blast cabinet out of a library book trolley and street signs....be nice to have your lathe and rollers though!.....swap ya?
Went outside to try this myself and realized that i didn't have a rotary saw, plasma cutter, lathe, tig welder, pneumatic tools, air compressor, or 50 gallon propane tanks... Ya'll got serious skills though! That thing works great and looks fantastic! I loved the ending when you cleaned it up. Awesome video!
Now if you only had a tent-like space to make recovery of your blasting media easy... You could probably build something like a blasting booth pretty easily... I look forward to the video! Great job, and keep it up! I love watching these!!!
I'm sure there's some way you could utilize this as a water jet of sorts. Probably more for soft materials and decorative work, maybe etching? I love your work, and this is among my favorite projects that I watch again and again.
Awesome video! Your design and fabrication are fantastic. And I like the fact that you don't explain every step of the way. Now I know what to do with that big propane tank that's been sitting around in the back of my garage
Motherlovers, what part of this is DIY ??? do it yourself means easy, simple and affordable. What they do on the video is almost an industrial revolution, how many people have the means they do ?
I can definitely do this my self at home, just gotta remember where i left my tig welder, grinder, and plasma cutter. Hmmm, maybe they're in my garage behind my bike.
You know... I pushed pause so I could follow the steps as you did them but I got out in the garage and realized that my nuclear robotic plasma cutter is down. Go figure ha. If I had a nickel... Thanks tho guys, this was very helpful. This could potentially tank the sand blasting service industry. Seriously, if too many people find out that they can have their very own sand blaster for a measly what, $30,000 in equipment to build it? Can you imagine? Hahaha. This is hardly a diy vid but very cool gentlemen. I'm sure I speak for most people that watch this, we're all jeleaous and would love to be able to just throw together a fabrication with precision and have a final product worthy of a store shelf but in all reality, a diy sandblaster would be more like a fancy 5 gallon bucket(fancy as in brand new and not the one in the corner of the garage that has to be rinsed first for the glue to stick) with a fabricated funnel glued to the bottom for better gravity feed. Bro, I would have to save up for just the nuts and bolts to make one of those badboys. Very cool either way but now I'm embarrassed to show people what I made.
I get your point and the point of people who responded but even the tools he built have a lot of cash in them. But then he isn't demonstrating how to get by on the cheap. UA-cam is filled with crap people built for almost nothing. He builds tools that will last forever and he invests in them appropriately.
Jack Jensen my not really about ten but still alot of time and planning I've been doing auto body about last twenty years so I have all the tools but for somebody just to use once definetly alot
haters are going to hate on genius... yea they use some convenient tools but for the most part you could make this for way less then 50g. yea some money in tools. plasma cutter $250, mig welder $550, drill press $100, the lathe is not needed, the roller not needed, drill bits for drill, metal chop saw $300. then its just material. yea those are cheap tools but hey, you don't always need to pick you kids up in a rolls royce...
Replace plasma with an angle grinder, you could probably get by with a cheap arc welder, a few drill bits and such. I still don't understand the reasoning behind cutting the whole tank in half. Why not just have an opening that you can seal with a valve for loading, and just lightly blow it out before closing it?
You don't need a fully equipped shop to make your own, I've made various tools without a fully equipped shop and just finished making a metal brake, tool cart, and fence stretcher with nothing more than a drill, drill bits, angle grinder with cutting wheel and a hobby mig welder.
Cutting the tanks in half makes a larger container allowing for more blast media. He could have did away with this step by going with 2 large 4ft tall tanks but those are not as common or cheap as the standard backyard BBQ tanks that he used.
I'm curious as to WHICH is your business? Teaching with videos which are rewarded by the clickings? Manufacturing sandblasters from scrap metal? You do this on the side, after your regular day job? Certainly, you succeeded in all areas. Congratulations!!
Safety tip: Always make the hidrostatic test before start, using 2x the work pressure on test. Nice project, steam is a good propelent too, and meke more damage :0
Is there a reason you went with flanges to join the tank halves, rather than welding them together. I mean it looks cool, but its alot of work and alot of bolts for flanges. Great job on this !
1. how much do you build these for? 2. What size air compressor is required for this? 3. What is the widest air tip you can use with this gun? 1/2", 3/4"? 1"?
I can't wait to start working on all of your awesome ideas! My biggest question is, do you have to keep at 90 CFM for the sand blasting? Or what is the minimum PSI to achieve what you did?
Nice job, I may make a single tank unit (not portable) with a large tank. What are the specs for the pressure relief valve? That's the only thing I can't readily ascertain. For those who want to make something similar, don't be put off by the fact he used a tubing bender to make the base. You could easily craft the same shape out of a few layers of plywood with one solid layer for the bottom and a couple of layers with circle cutouts for the tanks. You can also skip the fancy diaphragm that blocks the loading port and use a large screw on cap out of fire hose parts the kind that uses a spanner to tighten. Do not skip the pressure relief valve, it is essential for safety. For small projects to contain the debris and recover blasting media, I use half a refrigerator carton, I slice out the front, and I have cut two sides so I can fold it up into a single sheet for storage. I just use packing tape to seal the edges and slice the tape for refolding when finished.

Nice. Have seen the dustless media blaster. It uses water and glass granules. Its got to be better than using the dirty sand blaster. You do great work anyways. Keep the videos coming.
Very nice build bud. Maybe welding a funnel type collar on top of the containers would ease pouring sand in them with out using that wrap around rubber sheet? It would be cleaner at least. where are you from? Im from Portugal and we use the very same type of propane containers
Thank you for your contribution and congratulate you as much nus help with all your creativity , my question is what type of air compressor is the ideal medium for sandblasting is constant
What a work Mr. George. But i have one question. How many PSI of the Compressor needed to make it work at maximum performance? Wanna make this amazing tool soon. And a little help with answering my question will be just Great.
I love how you go from "junk" to something that looks like it could function to what looks like a finished product one could buy at your local hardware store.

"I created a sandblaster so I can sandblast the sandblaster I created"
+Jhetner You just witnessed an insestuous creation.....
+remige2006 mind blowing!
yeah!!!!!!!!
ikr
He built a good sandblaster, just look at the sandblaster he sandblasted with the sandblaster!
Plasma cutting on the lathe = pure genius
gracias por tu video
Yeah, thougth that too, but i was a little bit worried of the high frequency start... May be not a Problem on a old lathe, if disconnected from the power grid... but on a modern lathe with electronic controls, or a frequency converter this could cause some problems...
You can precision weld like that too
Should’ve been vertical , instead of horizontal , to avoid any accidental explosions .
You really have SUPER skills. I think you could make just about anything!!
Thanks for showing us so much.

+crazybird2007 because creating a pressurized vessel without having the welds/construction certified is totally above board.
Filling the tanks with water prevents any residual gasses from igniting and exploding during the cutting process. While you are right that the welds should be certified for pressure vessels the tanks he's made are not critical use and the rubber diaphragms at the top will leak pressure as the material he used is not necessarily rated for moderate to high PSI.

Thats why people call thiss as "Make It Extreme" .Awesome guys! Good Job
Thank you my friend! :)

Wow.The work of a genius.Great piece of engineering.I am shocked at your ingenuity.
Glad you like it! :)

remige2006 with the Sandblaster you can rebuild your Lathe machine from scratch 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There's something so mesmerizing about MAKING a tool; it's absolutely fascinating to watch.
Amazing work as always! Really creative the way you used the lathe and the cutter!
+Scrap wood City Thanks man! :)
Could have used carbide cutter though 😜
Nice
That is a badass sandblaster. You are very creative!
Glad you like it! :)
A great way but what is it put sand and iron filings
A great way but what is it put sand and iron filings
your channel is on fire - all the best - great build as well!
+Nick Ferry Thank you very much Nick! :)
Lo
Damn that was cool. So when are you guys going to make a jet pack? We all know that's were this is headed...
Συγχαρητήρια!!! Εύγε!!! Μπράβο!!! Αυτό είναι τό μέλλον τής Ελλάδος. Καί πάλι συγχαρητήρια.
Great video! Why did you use two tanks instead of one? Does it increase the capacity?
It doubles capacity and lasts longer
+Eric's garage I would have thought it enables you to use two different grits/sands without having to empty
Simon Bennett
you only need one grit when blasting
Depends on what you are blasting... thin metal could bend by the friction thats why the sand used is thinner
NeXTSTORMING There are literally dozens of different blasting media from glass beads to walnut shells to apricot pits to corn cob.... etc.
Have a home built sand blaster similar to that but my cousin built it. He has a professional one now so he gave me his built one. It works pretty good not quite as fast as this one but still works decent. I Put new cab corners and rockers on my truck used it to blast the rust off it. Also let neighbor use it a few times has saved me bunch of money over years. Decent build man I like it Thumbs up!
very nice build I enjoyed ur videos from love Saudi arabia
Thank you! :)
may you help me
i have a one question
which sand beads you used for sand blasting?
Impressive......but a $25 sand blasting gun and a bucket will do the same job.....i made a blast cabinet out of a library book trolley and street signs....be nice to have your lathe and rollers though!.....swap ya?
finally a video that i straight forward with out 10 minutes of talking and 2 minutes of doing.........good job guys
The plasma cutter is a very nice tool!
this is the best channel , for whom like scrap.
A plasma lathe! haha love it ^^
Went outside to try this myself and realized that i didn't have a rotary saw, plasma cutter, lathe, tig welder, pneumatic tools, air compressor, or 50 gallon propane tanks... Ya'll got serious skills though! That thing works great and looks fantastic! I loved the ending when you cleaned it up. Awesome video!
Dude....WOW! How big an air compressor you have?
Tyler G sand blaster
Tyler G ',,''g
8 bar maybe,
you need 5hk compressor for this, minimum.
U must be new n missed name of channel
Now if you only had a tent-like space to make recovery of your blasting media easy... You could probably build something like a blasting booth pretty easily... I look forward to the video!
Great job, and keep it up! I love watching these!!!
Fucking awesome. Love your work and also how exceptionally well this video is edited and presented in such a "crisp", no bullshit manner. Subscribed!
Thank you so much! :)
Professional job of visualizing a project from beginning to end.
Awesome!
+GarageWoodworks Thanks! :)
AND I THOUGHT MY SHADE TREE SHOP was equipped!?!?!?!? These folks have left me something to aspire tooooooo. Excellent job men.
nice and easy very good project

Uses a sandblaster to sandblast a sandblaster
Sandblastception!

He built the first sandblaster sandblaster
Awesome video! Your design and fabrication are fantastic. And I like the fact that you don't explain every step of the way. Now I know what to do with that big propane tank that's been sitting around in the back of my garage
use the sand blaster to sandblast itself
Very creative use of scrap gas bottles! I love your style. Being a pressure vessel I'd put more care into the welds but that is just me.
Motherlovers, what part of this is DIY ??? do it yourself means easy, simple and affordable. What they do on the video is almost an industrial revolution, how many people have the means they do ?
I mean... most people have tools
Awesome built up ! It involved a fair amount of work and a good level of craftsmanship. Congratulations !
Thank you! :)
I can definitely do this my self at home, just gotta remember where i left my tig welder, grinder, and plasma cutter. Hmmm, maybe they're in my garage behind my bike.
Excellent craftsmanship. Remain Speechless.
you are ingenious and maybe a genius!
SANDBLQSTING
wow im only half way though.....and i bow down to your welding skills.....above all..... your tool collection.....
Hi, what kind of welding machine do you use?
Probably made it himself out of a heap of scrap metal, a few microwaves, and the gas despenser from a gas pump. Lol
MIG & TIG
That was a mig welder
most sophisticated diy project ever
Six minutes in and I'm thinking damn that would be about a weeks worth of work for me and there's at least six more minutes to go lol
And how much does all those materials cost?
U make it look so easy
I like your videos, you are artists
Thank you! :)
Your an artist punctuation
You're*
What a compliment. You're so good, you're more than just one artist. Lol, sorry I had to
I am so jealous of the ability and equipment shown here
I didn't know the gas-bottle had to be empty, typing this with my front left tooth.

I am blown away by your skill level! And can't believe I didn't come across your channel sooner. Subscribed!
Seems like an awful lot of effort. How much for a used sandblaster?
Poppy Puppy a lot more than this.
It is not because of the price..it s Because of all the great job at welding..machining all the creativity..etc..
Is not about the value, is about views and subscribers, who gonna watch a video of someone baying a sandblaster??
love it, using the tool you're making to make the tool you're making (9:55 ish)
make your own ? OK if you got a fully equipped workshop.
you really don't need most of the stuff he has, just less work with his equipment+he can make some extra's which are not actually needed
I believe there´s a difference between "make your own" and "make it your own".

Safety tip: Always make the hidrostatic test before start, using 2x the work pressure on test.
Nice project, steam is a good propelent too, and meke more damage :0
there's nothing DIY about this
Super super duper never I feel like same as any videos before once in UA-cam very good well done
Love this!what is the purpose behind bolting the tanks together with that flange rather than welding it together as a single unit?
Is there a reason you went with flanges to join the tank halves, rather than welding them together. I mean it looks cool, but its alot of work and alot of bolts for flanges. Great job on this !
WOW! My mouth was hanging open the entire video... You guys are so freaking good......... Loved the video and what it could do at the end!
great job , just i wonder this equipment is working with a compressor, but how many hp?
Hello make it extreme verry nice project but i have some questions how big compressor or can u tell me the pressure or airflow of the comprssor?
watch again @10:35~10:42
Plasma torch and machining lathe... now I've seen it all. Nice
This is a professional build don't let them fool you.
Is it ok if I am jealous? awesome video, thanks for sharing!
I really like the circle cutter attachment design.
1. how much do you build these for? 2. What size air compressor is required for this? 3. What is the widest air tip you can use with this gun? 1/2", 3/4"? 1"?
I can't wait to start working on all of your awesome ideas! My biggest question is, do you have to keep at 90 CFM for the sand blasting? Or what is the minimum PSI to achieve what you did?
Nice job, I may make a single tank unit (not portable) with a large tank. What are the specs for the pressure relief valve? That's the only thing I can't readily ascertain.
For those who want to make something similar, don't be put off by the fact he used a tubing bender to make the base. You could easily craft the same shape out of a few layers of plywood with one solid layer for the bottom and a couple of layers with circle cutouts for the tanks. You can also skip the fancy diaphragm that blocks the loading port and use a large screw on cap out of fire hose parts the kind that uses a spanner to tighten. Do not skip the pressure relief valve, it is essential for safety.
For small projects to contain the debris and recover blasting media, I use half a refrigerator carton, I slice out the front, and I have cut two sides so I can fold it up into a single sheet for storage. I just use packing tape to seal the edges and slice the tape for refolding when finished.
Best audio and vedio presentation. Super design

Epic MIE, you guys are industrial monsters!
Nice. Have seen the dustless media blaster. It uses water and glass granules. Its got to be better than using the dirty sand blaster.
You do great work anyways. Keep the videos coming.
Very nice build bud. Maybe welding a funnel type collar on top of the containers would ease pouring sand in them with out using that wrap around rubber sheet? It would be cleaner at least. where are you from? Im from Portugal and we use the very same type of propane containers
Thank you for your contribution and congratulate you as much nus help with all your creativity , my question is what type of air compressor is the ideal medium for sandblasting is constant
do you need to decompress those first? I want to make this
3:36 - I like the idea of using the sand blaster to sandblast your sandblaster, nice work!
Forced cannibalism.
I sincerely thank you, for your inventions bring me more production knowledge and more ideas. Wish you health
One of the best video I've ever seen. Congrats.
What a work Mr. George.
But i have one question. How many PSI of the Compressor needed to make it work at maximum performance?
Wanna make this amazing tool soon. And a little help with answering my question will be just Great.
What type of compressor are you using? Do you describe your name and type? Thanks.
That was a heck of a lot of work for something as simple as a sandblaster, I think you migh'te overengineered it not just a bit, a lot.
This thing will probably out live you because of how over engineered it is.
The channel is named "make it extreme" so i think what they did is what they are supposed to do :D
DIY all you need is a lathe, plasma cutter, welder etc....
Nice job
What kind of welding process and plasma cutter you use?
Great job...!! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!!
Have you considered making a dustless vapor blaster using that setup?
muito boa ideia,um equipamento extremamente útil, um abraço.grato!
