- Hi Everyone!
In this video, I will show you HOW TO MAKE A SANDBLASTING BOX for beginners on a tight budget and very easy!
Just follow my steps in the description below and watch the video to be able to sandblast your rusty parts. Keep watching till the end to see how much money I've spent 💵🤑
Let's go!
1. Split the 2 plastic tubes into 2 pieces. Measure, tape, and cut. you now have 4 pieces.
2. Mark a suitable place and height for your hands/pipes
3. Drill the holes, 120 mm diameter
4. Put the pipes in the holes
5. Drill 2 more holes for ventilation on the opposite side, 120 mm diameter
6. Put the pipes in the holes
7. Drill a hole on the side of the box, big enough to fit the connection on the hose
8. Pull the hose through the hole
9. Tape the gap between the hole and the hose
10. Get the gloves through the holes and fold them over the edge.
11. Use a zip tie to secure the gloves
12. Dust filter, cut it to size, and then use a zip tie
13. Connect the hose to your air compressor
14. Fill the gun with sand and start working :)
OPTIONAL STEPS
14. Measure how big a hole you’d like in the lid. NOTE! The hole has to be smaller than the plexiglass, about 3-4 cm smaller.
15 Mark where you want to cut
16. Drill holes in each corner
17. Use a jigsaw and cut the hole in the lid.
18. Attach a rubber list to the edge on the lid
19. Drill holes for the hinges, not too close to the hole, the plastic may crack
20. Drill holes for the hinges in the plexiglass, make sure you can close it
20. Put the plexiglass on the lid and bolt it down
21. On the opposite side of the plexiglass, drill a hole through the plexiglass and the lid. Lock the plexiglass down with a bolt and wing nut.

Very ingenious sand blasting tool for our garage .Thanks' Henrik Thumbs up!!!
Thank You! I Hope You will find use for your sand blaster 😊 Thank You for watching 😍
Great vid. Could your next one be on how you do the instant bench clearing trick?😂😂😂😂
Thanks Allen! Sorry, a magician never tells his tricks 😅
Greetings from Lebanon, that will be my weekend project...
Wow! I am so happy you enjoyed the video! Good luck with your sand blaster :)
Use aluminum oxide for rust removal. Glass beads for aluminum parts and soda for carburetors or other aluminum parts that you don’t want to etch deeply with the more aggressive medias. The good thing using soda on carbs is that you can wash them out with water and know that the soda will be washed out completely! A blast of air through the carb passages and it is really clean. Great video
Hi, Thank you for your comment :)
That is very good to know :) Thanks!!
Built mine in 30min works fantastic I got some improvements I'm going to make later. Thanks
Great to hear and that was fast 😊💪🏻
I first need a sandblaster and...... a larger box. I am sandblasting the trailer to my camper. Great video!
Then you'll need a very big box. I don't think IKEA has that size :P Good luck with your project and thank you!!
Thank you, i made the same box and it is working great.
I am glad to hear 😀
Grym video! Tack 👏🏻
Du är grym!
Amazing! I’m going to make one too, very informative video, 2 thumbs up!!!!!!
Thank You so much Christina! I really appreciate your comment. If You can, buy gloves with longer sleeves to be able to work easier inside the box. And make sure You have a good compressor that can a lot of air. Mine is a bit too weak so the result could be Better with a stronger and better compressor 😊👌🏻
Man I miss Sweden so very much. From all the way in southern California thanks for the video. I will do this tomorrow
So you’ve been here? 😊 Thank You for watching the video and Hope your sandblasting box turns out awesome 🤩
@@henriksrestorations many times my friend. I have family and friends there. Mostly now in goteborg. But back in the day when it was nice I would spend my summers in gotland. Let me be very clear SUMMERS. No way my California rear end can do winters there. No way
@@d_k_C_A okay, Göteborg is a Nice city and area of Sweden. Also Gotland, love it!!
Yeah, the winters can be pretty cold. I would prefer to stay in CA as well!
Stay safe!
Very good video. Really like your wayvto give advise! Good lycka, I will stay tuned!
Thank You Annika 😁🙌🏻
Thanks. I will be building one soon! Greetings from NY, USA
Hi Steve, I’m happy that you will give it a try. I must say though, that it is not powerful enough to do bigger kind of work, but for smaller projects it is good enough 😊 and fun to build! Good luck 💪🏻💪🏻
And btw, just love New York! Been to NYC twice 😍
Very well done. You've inspired me to try it! Rick in Las Cruces New Mexico USA
Hi Rick! I’m glad that you’ve got inspired by my video and Good luck on your build! If You can, buy some longer gloves for more reach inside the box. Try to use as strong air compressor You can, mine is good but it would be better with a stronger (more litre air/min).
Good luck 😊
@@henriksrestorations My little air compressor is the "pancake" kind - it's undersize, but for small jobs, it may work out.
Snygg box! 👏🏻👏🏻
Tack kompis 😊🙏🏻
Fantastic job 👍
Thank’s mate 😊 Thank You for watching!
Thank you!
No problems! and I am sorry for my late reply 😁
Great vid sir, subscribed
Brilliant video thank u 😍👀👀👀👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Thank You 🙏🏻💪🏻 appreciate it!
Excellent, useful video. What type/model of compressor are you using in this setup?
Hi and thank you so much! I am using a fairly small one.. a bit too small I am afraid.
Good job, thanks for sharing, but you’ve been watching to much SMA and Eric O. 😂😂😂
Thank you! Actually I don’t know who you are referring to 😂
Referring to a Top class UA-camr Auto mechanic called South Main Auto, who always ends with the phrase “ if I can do it! You can do it” just thought you might follow him, hence the comment, take care, 🖖
Haha! i did not know 😅 thanks for the info, i will surely look on some of his videos now!
You too!@@clifficus
Nice video. Har just köpt en låda men kunde inte lösa armgenomföringarna men nu vet jag. Var hittade du klipsen till locket? Hittar inte dem på Ikeas hemsida.
Tjena Marco! Tack 🤩 jag är rätt säker på att det var på Ikea. Men kan varit att dem utgått ur sortimentet.. ska slå ett getöga!
Hittade på eBay.. vet inte om dem passar exakt 🙄 www.ebay.de/itm/224548468413?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=707-127634-2357-0&ssspo=JrvX7sqTREi&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hey nice one. Is that more like a paint gun that can also be used for sand blasting? What is your compressor specs like the CFM & PSI? Thank you
Hi mate, Thank you! it's a sand blasting gun, maybe you can use it with paint as well if the paint is very thick, like lizard skins stuff.. I don't know! My compressor is horse shit so its almost not even worth mentioning :D but here you go (in Swedish though)
Effekt 1500 W
Max. arbetstryck 9 bar
Tankvolym 50 l
Vikt 35 kg
Spänning 230 V
Genomlupen cylindervolym 222 l/min
Avgiven luftmängd 165 l/min @6 bar
@@henriksrestorations Thank you
Great! At how many bars of pressure (or PSI) can you work with that blasting gun?
Hi, I think I have it set to around 6-7 bar at the moment but I think the maximum power is around 8 bar 🤔 here You have the link (in swedish though): www.jula.se/catalog/verktyg-och-maskiner/tryckluft/kompressorer/kompressorer/kompressor-012510?gclid=Cj0KCQiAnuGNBhCPARIsACbnLzpps0-ORTEjZZXBdW6Fi8FaXOjgSZZz7ElBpY2NvNUtLS9FbwpI-BUaAhGPEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Sorry, I noticed that You were asking for the gun. It doesn’t say actually, just that it uses around 250 l/min(air). The cheapest one for about USD 20 😬 so not the most high quality
@@henriksrestorations Thanks for your reply. 6-7 bar would be great! I'm thinking about to build one.
@@amarokker if you have a bigger tank on the compressor that’s good. The blasting Gun is consuming alot of air 😅
The idea is nice. It works but the gloves are short
Hi, Yes I agree.. If I would build it again i would get longer gloves. Totally agree with you :)
"I bought the plastic box at IKEA...."
Yeah, I think so ;)
Not picking on you, I like the idea, buuuuuuuut, I assume the plastic with get beat up by the sand. How long does it lat before you cant see anything from the sand bouncing off the plastic?
Hi! you are assuming correctly. The plastic is not the best choice. I have plans on cutting a hole in the lid and adding a glass "window" instead.
I have not used the box recently but I've probably done 7-10 jobs in it and I can still see decently :)
Thank you for commenting!
I was about to make one but i read that inhaling sand particles that you can't see, it's very bad for health and sandblasting is forbidden in UK and many countries around the world 😟
At least wearing an industrial mask is a must. 😷⚠️
Hi, thanks for your comment :)
I did not know this, then I will wear a mask when sand blasting. Safety first!
It is nice to know that governments are taking care of our health by forbidding sandblasting. I wonder how they forgot about massive air industrial poisoning, chemtrails, WiFi radiation, cellphones and base stations radiation, food poisoning, medical drugs poisoning, vac* poisoning...
Don't use sand - it's a great way to get silicosis.
Use other blasting media.
Thanks mate, What Do You recommend? Glass?
This video already been done exactly the same !
Okay, why do you feel the need to write a comment like that? Do you really believe that I think I’m the first to upload a video, showing How to build this?
Maybe You should try to create something yourself instead of watching my videos? 🤔
@@henriksrestorations When I make a video, it's new stuff, not just a darn exact copy like of this one: ua-cam.com/video/lEMteF9Kq-U/v-deo.html
@@yenaurapourtoulmonde have I said mine is unique? I Don’t remember that I have? 🤔
@@yenaurapourtoulmonde "When I make a video" Well you have no videos so..
great vid but please dump the music
Thank You for your comment! I always want to improve. Do You mean the music in the background when I’m talking?
@@henriksrestorations yes sorry to complain but it is one of my bugbears to have to turn down the volume between each commentary detracts from the experience and may I say the pleasure thank you for the prompt reply
@@georgerobson8753 again, Thank You for your feedback!
I will think of it in my coming videos.
Have a Nice day!
Harbor freight's sand blasting cabinet is $110 and works 10x better.
Ok, great! 👍🏻
Before you comment something like this on a video of someone just trying to help people consider the fact that
1. He may not have harbor freight available to him or anything similar.
2. He is ma making DIY videos. Not everyone wants to just go out and buy something they want to make it themselves.
3. The most important one. That blast cabinet at harbor freight requires a stupid amount of air to run properly so if you dont already have a compressor capable of the requirements you will be out almost $1,000 usd for the compressor alone.
Thank you so much Henrik for the video I love the idea. I'm going to take your idea and tweak it a little for my needs. Thank you!
what would make it work any better
sooooo.... when ever you suggest sandblasting to "pro" guys, immediately everyone goes to tech. specs of the compressor you need. things like: don't buy anything less than 50L tank, 2 cylinders and never ever ever under at least 300 L/min outtake. and here you are, doing it with, let's be honest, bottom shelf price range compressor with 165 L/min and getting results. I am curious, how many times did compressor turn on for this small piece?
Hi, yes, bunch of questions about the compressor, and yes, it is probably the cheapest one at this size. If I would buy a compressor now I would definitely pay more for a bigger, more powerful one, but at that time I Did not prioritize a quality compressor.
It almost ran constantly while blasting a brake caliper 😅 so if you have the money, buy a bigger/stronger one, otherwise this will work 💪🏻
@@henriksrestorations there are avaliable ones with tech specification as I wrote above for cca 450ish EUR ;) yours is in a 100 EUR price range and it would die on you pretty fast from constant engagement for some bigger job. I am trying really hard to justify this investment on my home family board meeting but for now with no success :)
@@obserwer yes probably… When I upgrade it Will be one that can manage bigger jobs 🙂 I wish You Good luck with that 😅
