The customer really likes the idea of sandblasting (well, he likes the idea of lasering, but his doors come in 2 sizes, 1 of which won't fit in my machine (by 2 centimetres!!! ).
It occurs to me that while the surfaces are various, I'm mostly going to be doing the same logo on them. Is it possible to make a portable cabinet, open on the working side with whatever apertures are necessary on the other? Obviously height adjustable (I'm thinking camera tripod and beer crates, on my budget), with a sacrificial rubber seal to stop stuff escaping; collection tray at bottom, and probably duct tape to hold it in final position. So you stick your (mostly) 5-sided cube to the surface you're working on, and just blast away...moving the whole rig to the next site once you've finished.
So. Does anyone have plans for a sandblasting cabinet that I can file the serial numbers off and use for my evil purposes? What sort of material specs are we talking about (Thickness of glass/ best material for frame etc)?
Thanks for any help/suggestions you can offer. I like Keith's sandblaster/vacuum machine, but $850 is beyond my budget ATM, so as normal I'm winging it. Thanks.
