    A Real Blast Cabinet

    All models of Skat Blast Cabinets are ready to ship and you will get years of use - that's for sure. Did you know that if you bought the very first Skat Blast cabinet made by Skat Blast in 1978 and needed parts, these parts are "in stock" and can be shipped the same day? Compare that to what we...

    A Real Blast Cabinet

    :) Sorry about our restrictions - we are sincerely trying to help Garage Journal members and will sure always continue to do so in every way that we can, but cannot open it up to the world at no charge. I agree that a "Get it Free Button" seems like a great idea if we had a way of confining it...

    A Real Blast Cabinet

    Sorry we do not offer anything such as that, nor do we have any information on vapor/wet type blasting. We do build a cabinet for soda blasting and we also offer upgrade kits for soda blasting. The only problem with soda blasting is that the soda cannot be recycled, as it breaks up on impact...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    All of our signs and decor are owned by my son now. I won't be taking pictures for a few weeks, but will get some closeup of the inside, etc. in a couple of weeks and will post them. I am still trying to figure out the approximate age of this cabinet. Fred

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    How about this vintage Snap-on Tool Cabinet? This is in our car museum in Canfield, Ohio. See www.tpcarcollection.com I purchased it many years ago at a big antique flea market at the Canfield Fairgrounds for around $300. Does anyone have an idea of the age of this one? Condition is...

    A Real Blast Cabinet

    Ditto on not using sand. ** WARNING ** Severe health hazard. In addition to being a health hazard - and never to be used for blasting, sand breaks down quickly to dust, which then does not cut fast, and also results in poor visibility inside the cabinet. This dust clogs the vacuum bag and/or...

    installing garage doors before or after concrete?

    Hello Zable9, Here are some pictures showing how we handle the overhead door openings, with concrete poured first and finished floor level at the inside edge of overhead jamb, with concrete sloping from that point to the outside edge of overhead door jamb.

    installing garage doors before or after concrete?

    We also install heavy duty steel posts (filled with concrete and painted orange) at each side of every overhead door and on corners of building to prevent vehicles, trailers, etc. from hitting the door jambs. Picture below shows these. Fred

    installing garage doors before or after concrete?

    Pour the concrete floor first. It is a lot easier to adjust a door than to try to get your cement finisher to work to the door bottom - almost impossible to do this. Another trick - see below. We build a lot of buildings for our business and always make up a 3"x3" or 4"x4" heavy-duty angle...

    concrete floor issues

    Sometimes the slag used in a concrete mix can cause such problems. Best mix contains limestone, but in some parts of the country, mill slag is used. For some reason, mill slag tends to come to the surface later. We have neighbors in our area of NE Ohio that have driveways that have so many...

    Hello Drivesitfar: To operate a Skat Blast Cabinet you will need about 20 cfm of air at 100 PSI, so most any good 5 HP 2-stage compressor will do. If shopping for an air compressor, always look at the output in cfm at pressure, not HP, as some manufacturers over-state the horsepower. If you...
