There's one right by where I work. I picked up two bags tonight :thumbup: Thanks again for the tip!

Oh I'll have to check that out! it's about $30 from Harbor Freight here. The sand keeps plugging up my pressure pot I'd rather stick with the aluminum oxide if I can find it for that price!

I did take some pictures I'll post them over the weekend. There is a tool I have from my large snap on box to take the drawrs out, basically it's a thin piece of metal like a hacksaw blade you wedge in to release the clips holding the tracks in. I left the lid on when I blasted and painted it...

I'm restoring this old gas pump from the 20's. It was pretty rusty but saved back in the '70s by just repainting over the rust and keeping it inside. I did a lot of patch work and now I'm sand blasting and painting it. It doesn't have to be perfect but I'd like it pretty nice. I used aluminum...

Here it is with the cork liner, not bad...

Thanks. I shoulda taken the time to smooth the face a little more but it came out nice. I bought the cork liner on the auction site, although I'm sure it's available other places. I don't know how well it will hold up actually, but it's what they used back in the day so I figured what the heck...

Well most of the voters said leave it, but most of the posters said redo it. Well since I got my new sand blaster working thanks to you guys I sandblasted it and resprayed it. Nothing too fancy, but good enough for a box I plan to keep using. I'm still waiting for my cork drawr liner to come in...

Thanks guys got it working great now! Cleaned the nozzle and closed the valve on the bottom of the pot about 3/4 and it made all the difference. I was able to do the tool box I've had in pieces in the garage for a month. On to my old gas pump next!

Yea when I use my cabinet, or even running a d/a sander off this compressor it keeps up good but is constantly turning on and off. Using this little pressure pot and the thing never turns on. It's like it's getting the full pressure into the tank, but it's just not there at the nozzle. I messed...

Thanks for the tips! I have a 60 gallon kobalt compressor. It's barely kicking on it has no trouble keeping up with this, in fact it hardly kicks on at all, unlike when it's running my syphon blaster, which makes me think it's not getting all the air pressure out of the gun that it should be...

Ok I have two driers on here now, I don't seem to have any problems with it clogging anymore, but it doesn't have the power I was expecting. It can barely remove rust and paint that isn't that heavy. The directions show how to put it together but nothing about what valves should be open or tips...

I bought a pretty decent looking media blaster online like this one: http://www.homedepot.com/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment/Black-Bull/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xg1ZarcoZ3pi/R-100637526/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 I've seen the same one at Harbor Freight, Northern Tool...

Haha I was wondering who would comment on my phone! Did that myself too I think it came out damn good haha :beer:

Thanks for the input guys. I did put some of my misc tools in there so I plan to use it a little, but I always take care of my tools and for serious jobs I have a mint '70's snap on box full of tools. This is more of my working out in the yard tool set that I leave at my other small shop for...

I need a tire rack in my garage. Something up high off in the corner that can hold between 8-12 tires. Right now the garage still doesn't have dry wall up yet just insulation so I have easy access to the wall joists and roof rafters. Any plans or tips on how to build something that will be...

I picked this up a few weeks ago from an old friend. It's in good shape, complete down to the key, nice chrome, works smooth and all, but it's definately got character. I cleaned it up the best I could already. I'm trying to decide if I should leave it as is or strip it and repaint it. What do...

I bought a 50,000 btu Reddy Heater last winter. It preformed flawlessly but this season sometimes it sputters and sometimes it won't fire off. I have to wait a minute so it doesn't smell like kerosine (I don't wanna blow myself up) and fire it again. It didn't have much old fuel left in it, i...

Both my shop and the welder have a 3 prong plug. The shop has one horizontal plug and one verticle, although one takes both. The one on the welder looks like an overgrown 120 plug. Is there an adapter that would plug right into the wall maybe?

Is it ok to just change the plug on the welder so it matches my shop?

that's a good idea guys. I don't recall what breaker is in the shops right now, but I remember they were pretty hefty knowing there would be a welder in the future. I know the compressor is 30, and the welder draws about 21.5 in operation, so I think that should be fine.
