- You will have to play with the setting and see what makes it work best for you. Don't be afraid to color outside of the lines and think for yourself.
-- Air compressor = One large enough to spray at 60psi. I use the 2hp 29gal 120v from Harbor Freight.
-- Grit = for polish I have found that glass bead size (170-325) works best.
-- Amount of grit = Play with it. I just add handfuls until it starts spraying nicely. Once again, think for yourself.
-- Spray at a 45 degree angle about 12 inches away from part. Once again, experiment what works best for you and the parts you are refinishing.
-- No, I will not make you a list of parts and where to buy them. Quit being lazy.
-- Before each use, stick your hand down in the bucket and stir it all up.
-- I have found that the holes in the tube get clogged. You can clean them or, remove the plug at the end of the hose and put an inline adjustable valve prior to the hose and adjust so you still get enough medium up to the gun.
-- Creating this video has shown me how lazy and entitled a lot of you are. Knock your shit off. You're grown adults that are ruining it for everyone.

Who says they don’t love this video. Philistinism. Great work 🇺🇸
Philistinism is the real virus we should be worried about.
Always has been, always will be 👍🏻
@@MotorcyclesandArt have a blast cabinet, just ordered a pump, shopping for a new compressor,BTW, about how much glass do you put in your water? rough ratio! Last... THANK YOU for making this video!
Contrary to all the negative comments, this is an excellent video. I never seen one like this with all the key information and the whys for doing it this way. Make me want to look at vapor blasting. Right now I do dry with glass beads.
Yeah I agree this was a good informative video. Shows the build , shows the budget, gives a parts list only thing I’d add iss more of the air side but this is effective .
Like your content, dont need to see your intro 12 times throughout
I agree...a bit irritating. But, my guess is that he was either going to divided this up into several different videos, or he combined a few to make one long one. Hence, all the repeating intros.
@@drugyoursoulpart4 STFU and let the man say what we are all thinking. You don't like it? Move to China.
@@drugyoursoulpart4 shit isnt free ,you pay for internet ,you pay for the phone?
no need to see 42 intros. but thanks for the video
@@RanGer-498 stop wasting every ones air ya dickhead
Another idea i have to improve on this is painting the inside of the cabinet with brush on bed-liner to help water proof it and protect the cabinet. Also the blacked out interior would make the parts easier to see in all the mist maybe.
I built a blast cabinet, a lot less complicated, no air compressor or circulating pump, just a 5 gallon bucket with a port in the bottom hooked to a hose going to the gun for the abrasive. The suction is strong enough to pull the sand up through the gun. I used a cheap 1750psi Harbor freight pressure washer and a small wet blasting gun off ebay, the plastic one. That lasted only a day before the water orifice wore and it lost the stream of water through the porcelain tip instead spraying sideways cutting through the porcelain and right through the plastic losing all suction. I then made my own gun copying the dimensions of the plastic one, the water orifice was a problem, its kept wearing shooting a spray instead of a stream till I found some 1/8 inch brass plugs with an inverted V cut into the head off ebay, I drilled the .043 hole through the plug and have not had a problem since, the wear is at the bottom of the V and will never cause a can spray again. The focused stream of water through the porcelain tip creates a lot of suction , the blast cabinet drains through a 1/8 mesh screen into the 5 gallon bucket that has a pvc pipe at the top for the over flow. The bucket stays full of water to that point and the sand gets recycled back into the bucket to be sucked back into the gun any oil floats to the top and does not go back into the cabinet, The 3/4 inch pvc fitting at the bottom of the bucket has an orifice I made with about a 7/16 hole in a plug to keep the sand from filling the hose and clogging when turned off. The sand and water are sucked up to the gun with no agitation. The Key to getting the suction is making sure the stream of water is strait and right through the middle of the porcelain tip and that the tip is not worn where the hole is too big after the sand traveling through makes it bigger, you have to replace the porcelain piece when you start losing suction and your spray orifice has to maintain a steady strait stream as it wears which is accomplished by drilling the orifice at the point of the inverted V in the brass plug. I had hell keeping mine shootng strait before figuring this out as my tip would keep wearing and the stream would turn into a spray which quickly stops the suction making you think your sand lines are stopped up when actually your gun lost the suction it needs to keep the sand flowing.
What I have found is it is not having a lot of pressure that makes it work , it is the flow of sand, with a cheap 1750 green pressure washer from Harbor freight, mine works great. Buy the cheap gun off ebay for the smaller pressure washers buy extra tips use it till it quits spraying strait because the Chinese are not as smart to have designed an inverted V spray tip for reliability, and when it quits working copy the dimensions and size of the body from brass and make your own spray gun. The key is the gun as long as the spray tip keeps shooting a strait stream of water through a hole the size of the porcelain tips you will get good suction and not need an agitator
The 1750 electric pressure washer with mason sand is great for cleaning parts, any oil stays at the top of the 5 gallon bucket or drains off, it is great for cleaning aluminum without wearing it. If I am cleaning parts with carbon or baked on paint I want to remove I change to the bigger wet blasting gun made of brass off ebay and I use my 2800psi gas pressure washer to power it. It blasts off rust, paint and hard to remove things , but it has more power than you want for cleaning aluminum parts.

You should make a video of this set up as I thought of using a small pressure washer as well so you didn’t need air . You can use one of the wet blasting suction tubes off Amazon or eBay to pull in the aggregate and a shorty gun
I’ll hav etc re read you bucket set up because I can’t picture how you have it skimming off or removing water or do you recycle the water in through the washer again?
Very entertaining.
Built this system with a few minor changes for my personal comfort. Works well.
Thanks again.
Mike C what size compressor do you run?
Amazing instructional video! Thanks for going into such great detail. It really made a huge difference!
Couple of thoughts, having all the Jets in one direction will cause a whirlpool which will naturally tend to put the aggregate into the center of the bucket right under the pump inlet, it stacks it right up nicely. Second, go to an aquarium store and pick up a magnetic tank cleaner, you can clip it on the window and squeegee the glass clean from the outside, they work great! Third, grab some filter floss while you are there too or use a thick scotchbrite pad and stuff alittle into the air outlet channel and it will cut down on the mist carried out of the exhaust and keep it in the cabinet nicely. And last, wire that puppy up with a GFI in case the lights or the pump get a little sparky and you are golden. Glad you went into the engineering on the flow vs. diameter, most DIY vids suck at the specifics, it is VERY much appreciated, going to have to build one with all the newfound time I have sitting at home because of this Corona virus shit, nicely done!
it also removes about 80 percent of the flow from that hose lol
Do NOT use an aquarium magnet to clean the window. The window is PLASTIC and the mag cleaner will drag media across it scratching the ever-loving shit out of it the very first time you do. Even were the window glass, glass media will scratch glass.
You got it all wrong. Don't use aquarium magnetic tank cleaner. Think welding helmets. they put a piece of cheaper quality thin clear plastic on it to preserve the expensive glass. Or another idea is on fresh air masks for automobile painting they have stick on clear plastic to keep paint off the expensive curved plastic window. Use until it gets cloudy and replace with a new one.
Thanks! Just finished modifying my HF blast cabinet, works great. Simple and inexpensive. I had everything but a foot valve and the mead I a blast gun plus misc hose and fittings. Highly recommended for a simple solution.
Great work!
@@MotorcyclesandArt If you are in So-cal I'll pay you to build one of these for me.
Wow. A vapor blasting vid that actually makes sense. Thanks!
Sweet! Great approach and easy to understand. Super tip on the angled holes to circulate the slurry
I figured last night that this could be done and here you are with one. Going to build one. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stoked it helped you out!
If you're using spherical beads for a polished finish, you need to drop your air pressure enough so that the beads aren't fracturing as they hit the part you are cleaning. The sharp edges of the fractured beads will dull the finish every time, I'm using 35psi on my setup but my nozzle is probably smaller than yours. Give it a try. And throw a cap full of dishwashing liquid in the water too. Good videos, cheers.
The label says "Ground glass", not "Glass Bead".
This makes me believe he mispoke.
Watching this again! Very educational, and very Bill Murray like.
This is good stuff!
I know what I’m doing with my old HF blasting cabinet, you are my hero!
Bloody good video!!!! Thankyou very much!!! I'll be building one.
cool project with simple and easy to understand information... thank you..
Thanks for the video, I definitely could use a cabinet like this in my shop, killer! Best video on a DIY!
Encino Man’s speaking has come a long way since the movie.
Ha! Wheezing the juuuuuuice! Great movie!
Great observation hahaha
Dude, not cool. That’s obviously Jon Hamm with quarantine fair. 😇
Betty nugs!
Thank you for the video . I’m going to build one
Great video. Most people hack through diy concepts till they work without considering the specifications of components like you did here. Simple calcs like this are the starting point for 'engineering analysis', or basically a 'common sense' approach, and you took the time to do it. It's easy to be lazy and skip that step, but you took the time to do the work. Great example of a good practice and habit. Thanks for sharing!
Side comment, the collective sum of The drilled holes surface area doesn't equal the same as one drilled hole of the same area. It's more of a fluid mechanics concept and has to do with the drag of the flow through each hole. This isn't a criticism, it actually works out in your favor in that that you provided additional margin to the margin you added by choosing 8 or 10 holes instead of 14. Your pressure thanks you ;)
Sir, thank you for your words.
You you crack me up. I appreciate your thought process.
Thank you for all the detailed informations ! It should have been a lot of work to do this video. Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for this video and thanks for sharing the build! I’ll be building one in the future!
Great video. Ordered parts today. Thanks
Great details! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video. I like knowing the "why" to the design in case I want to change something.
Thats for the Video Chief! Totally doing it!!
Putting mine together now. Adding foot pedals for my air air pump though. Thanks for the great video!
Right on man! Let me know how it turns out.
This is a great video, well done. can't stay must go and build one
It will make your life better.
Thanks 'I'm sure this is going to make my life a bit better
AWESOME VIDEO BROTHER!! THANK YOU!!👍👍👍✌️
Here in North Wales I'm embarking on a barn-find 1998 cbr900rr Fireblade resto. Much of the parts will benefit from vapour blasting so I'll video the cabinet build and the bike resto that follows. My American friend, you are a very big help and I thank you!
Very awesome! Super stoked for you.
Thanks for the work in making this video. I just built the same cabinet and substituted 2 double bright led strip lights in the roof inside and added a windshield wiper and boat vent fan to move the vapor out . I used 1/2” hot water pvc pipe by heating it with a heat gun and forming it into a circle with the inlet turned up to my lower outlet on my tee fitting. 5/8” hose fits the hot water pvc perfectly. Also pex 3/4 fittings fit the 5/8” hose perfect also. I found out you just about don’t need air pressure as that pump blasts by itself! Nice bikes you’ve done by the way!
Hey man!! Excellent work! Stoked it all worked out for you. Love knowing you made it your own and upgraded. Have a rad day!
Very cool ! Thanks for the help
Thank you man, you have taken the guess work out of the final parts of my cabinet and pump system. I like your work, stay safe....
Mr. Dunn, thank you, Sir.
You're a good teacher. Thanks man~~
That frame and exhaust pipe in the background, yessssss.
Looks like an old Honda CT
90 or possibly Yamaha front end
Awesome advice and instruction . Many thanks . Mark - Miami
Right on Mark! Hooe it works for you!
Very direct approach. Lots of good information. I love it.
Perfect!
Awesome man!! Your a genius..
The flooring trim is called "cove base". Your story on how you got the cabinet is the same as mine. I bought one last night off of craigslist assembled and never used for $100. Thanks for sharing the parts list and the trial and errors that you made assembling yours. Awesome video .!
Thank you much!!!!
@@MotorcyclesandArt im hanging a clear plstic shower curtain along that whole door wall, screwed into top bolts of the cabinet..
Love the video and the instructions
Real good video
Just found this.....Your presentation is well.......AWSOME!!!!!!!!!! Content 5 stars.
Great video and info 👍
Great video, well done. Just used for the first time,works great.
Thanks
Stoked for you!
Great video. Many thanks for posting. Subbed.
Thank you. Great piece of work.
Thank you.
Bad ass bro! I love it video was a bit long but was very informative. Thanks for your time! New SUB! 👌🙌🏼
I need to make space in my shop for one of these! Thanks for the inspirational DIY!
Go get it!
Thanks mate!! Get struck back in to that Salt Racer 👍☝️
You're welcome! Go get em!
Thank you very much for making this video. I just finished mine and I have to say this is one of the coolest things I've made. I tested it on some parts from my 1958 Dnepr and I was pretty amazed. I would add that I got the best results using 170-325 glass bead media vs the harbor freight glass beads as they were way too coarse. Overall fantastic build, cheers!
Awesome! Super stoked for you.
Excellent info....👍 Still excellent.....👍
Great video, thanks mate
Great Video thanks
Nice job
thats awesome !!! gotta build one
great video, thanks!
Thanks for the great video
I hope to build my own soon, need it yesterday :-)
I am building my own this winter! Grabbing a cabinet for 40 dollars!
You should kep making videos like this, I like it very much and thanks.
Now this deserves and like and sub! Great video!
Finally i can start vapor blasting thanks for the vid
You got it!
@@MotorcyclesandArt Now i got it...yee haa..brilliant video.just goin for my check valve.cheers
thank you for info
Id like to see the polishing grit. Great tutorial and it works well. Im planning on building one this summer. Chasing that factory fresh cast look without paint.
Good info and simple design for small application. Both dry and wet systems have there pro's and con's, i will say though using a proper mud/aggregator pump makes a world of difference but so does price tag haha
That has some awesome power dude,Excellent stuff & thank you for your great video tutorials 👍 😎😎
No prob!
Awesome video man. Thanks!
Stoked it helped!
Lead singer of INXS lives!
I showed this video to my co-worker as I am in the process of putting this together and told him that he looks like Michael Hutchence, RIP. He agreed. ;)
Good information in the video. Keep up the good work. I'd recommend not putting up your intro several times throughout the video though. I will be using your video as a guide on upgrading my own harbor freight cabinet soon. Thanks again.
Just a thought, if you use irrigation tubing in the bucket, there is a variety of fittings available (irrigation aisle at Home Depot), especially right angle ones to create the swirling you're looking for. Great video and thank you for posting and helping others.
Regarding my comment above, you may have to do the math and adjust the number of holes, based on the inner diameter of the fittings. Again, thumbs up yo you
Great video, detailed so anyone can do it. Thanks for doing this Video. I am now following you. cool stuff.
I just subscribed too!🤙
Awesome video. Subscribed keep it up
thanks so much dude, i have 4 1970s two stroke + 2 - 4 bangers bikes (3 - s2's + 1 rd400 + 1 xl185 and a kz650) i bought 5 years ago and this is a must have for those projects, now the only problem is to not get carried away and pull them all down at once to blast them. haha
oh, what size compressor you are using?
Right on, man! 30 gal.
Awesome info brother thanks for sharing it’s a great dustless blaster design I have everything but the cabinet lol this is gonna be an awesome addition to the shop thanks for sharing man
Get building!
Nice work, been looking to build something like this for a while.
Go for it!
Damn great video. Def will build this when i get my house with garage
Nice video, you've convinced me to make one instead of buying one for 3k!!! Thanks
Get building!
Very cool man. I might just have to build one for sled parts.
Great idea!
Came out realy good quick need that
Build one!
Thanks great job!
Thank you much!
Excellent video. You are a natural educator: your visuals are perfect and your delivery is engaging. Keep going!
Thank you very much!
Thanks, man, life is better, super awesome.
Stoked for you.
Cool VDO
Hey dude awesome job, I'm going to start doing my vapor cabinet next week! Greetings from Mexico!
Right on, man!
Good job in laying everything out. Been in construction all my life and never saw a 6 gallon bucket. Lol
Apparently it's a popular size for brewing and baseballs/softball storage
@@Quocle603 was just going to say go to your local homebrew shop
Grainger has the 6 gallon.
I like your style 😎 I'm subscribed before I even watch it 😆
Great vid. Like your attitude. Best of Luck!
Thank you, Sir
Nice job on the vid, good to know that there are some details that need to be addressed. I like that bike you’re building in the background 👍
Six gallon bucket...get it!!
Great video. Use car windows rain repellent to make the view through glass better.
Bro you are awesome
Lol, Excellent instructional video. Genuine guy, what you see is what you get. Simple no frills design, perfect for the guy who might use it once a month (or more).
Hey man, if you are running a 7 mil nozzle, what CFM/PSI do I need to run? Thanks! Putting parts list together now and looking for a compressor bigger than the one I have now but I need to know how big I need to go?
@@darrynruzicka2883 He suggested 30-50 psi in another post. Hope that helps.
Correction: 30 gallon and 50 psi
Love the hand motions at starting at around 29:16😂 bahahahajjaha
This guy deserve a reward
2 separate slurring buckets with different medium to switch quickly. Directional tips in bottom mixing tube.
What is your air compressor cfm? 120 volt?
Haha good shit my man great video
thanks mate
Haha, I only made it 2 min in at 2x speed and I had to subscribe to your channel
I like your style
Holy shit, love the video dude, I'm defo building one of these babies.
Get building!
