Excellent modification on the sand blaster. You solved a big problem. Nice work Pete.
Thanks Gene!
Very nice Pete, maybe a good idea to make some supports for the beams left and right from the blastbox so it doesn’t constantly lean on the thin edge of the holes in the box and goes nicely through the centre of the holes
... funny you should mention that... stay tuned
Was right there with this person! Ha
Thank you for documenting how to do this!
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting how improvised the box....nice job!
The content on this channel is ALWAYS entertaining. Thanks for taking the time to post this stuff for us!
I really appreciate that! thanks for watching.
Neat solution, Pete. Glad to see it working well. You're going to be there a while!
Yeah, it will be a while, but this modification makes the job pleasant enough that I just kinda zone out and don't even realize the time that has passed. My bigger concern right now is if my compressor is going to hold up. I'm doing an oil change on it today to hopefully keep it happy.
You could put some grommet edging around those holes to smooth out the sliding. Would interfere with the cover when not in use though
Good idea. I have a different idea for the sliding part, but some edging would be good just to avoid the sharp edges. I do have some edging I could try that would just compress when installing the cover plates. I'll give it a try.
Tip for using hole saws, if you start it from one side, go about halfway through then drill from the other side. It can sometimes help prevent the little ridge on the "exit" side of the hole.
Good idea, much better than mine- I had a half formed idea in my head that I was trying to keep metal chips out of the media so I was trying to only work from the outside but in hindsight that was really a pointless thought. I ended up emptying it and straining it anyways. Thanks for your continued support!
Hey Pete
Keep doing what you are doing love the videos. Don't change to what other people want. we are all different. Happy to come along for the ride
4:38 "Well that was both harder and easier than I expected" 🤣 Sometimes it's just like that!
It seems to be a reoccurring theme in my life. The things I thought were going to be hard turn out to be easy, and then out of left field something totally unexpected turns out to be the difficult part! LOL
You might hold more sand (glass) inside if you had inside and outside brushes at 90o to each other.
And/Or cutting the bristles shorter and using two that have a slight overlap in the middle.
I tried the horizontal and vertical configuration and didn't see any improvement. But I love the idea of the overlap in the middle and will be trying that next. Now that I think about it, I've seen machines with that sort of configuration so I have some pretty high hopes it will be an improvement. Thanks!
Good modifications on that cabinet to get the big stuff in there maybe they should be made like that from the factory and give the brushes as accessories 👍
Hear that factory? I want my royalty checks! LOL
That's a very interesting modification. I have almost the exact same cabinet which I really need to replace with a larger one, so that's got me thinking!...
well, good luck!
Maybe somebody gave the ride a "patina" paint job for that vintage look ;-))
LOL
Next time when drilling these large holes, use the clutch function for screws on a high setting just high enough to drill without interupting but low enough so If it catches it wont kick back and break your wrist.
I'm really not sure why I didn't do that. I've done that before. But once I settled into that stance I was using it at the end supporting the entire drill with my forearm it was no longer a problem.
That looks great there Mr. Pete, you should’ve used a little cutting oil might’ve made a little more smoother so you didn’t bust your wrist
Yeah, probably so. I was trying to avoid getting anything in the existing media. In hindsight that was a dumb idea. I ended up emptying it and straining it anyways.
Nice video Pete. Thats a lot of work! Weaver sandblasting and powdercoating os only in Epherta and he's cheap lol. I really like the ride of the week segment!!
I'm glad to hear you like that. I enjoy doing that part so its nice to hear I'm not just doing it for myself. lol
great idea good thinking for big parts sure it will be used for other parts off other things ,and your rust is not rust at all , the machine has be lying next to trees possible and its stained over the years i bet you a good solvent would clean it back to the paint
Yes, could very well be a combination of moss and other stuff. I don't know how this was stored over its life. I think it spent a lot of time outside under a lean-to but by the time I first saw it, it was just sitting out in a field. Probably be feeding the sweeps for the rocket ride into it next.
Old red barn paint was colored with iron oxide. Which is a fancy way of saying rust. It was a good way to help preserve wood. But not so much for metal. Maybe someone painted it with that?
Could be.
You could try Alluminum oxide as blasting media. Its a bit more course then sand and glass marbels so its speeds up the proces massively. I personally use it and i an really happy with the result
If the rust is over the paint, I would try paint remover. It may not work! But I would at least try it. I think this could save you a lot of works.
Good thought!
It doesn't loiok like it's a big problem with sand coming out, but if it is, you could try doubling up the brushes...maybe put one brush inside?? Anyway, even though I am not into amusement rides myself, I am into diy, making do with what you have and restoration of old stuff in general!
Better yet, having one set of brushes vertical and the other horizontal.
I do have them inside and outside, and I tried vertical and horizontal with no real improvement. Next i'm going to try split brushes from two opposing sides.
Did someone use Brutal Rust? Haunters
Or else invented an entirely new patina
It was me who suggested the laser machine. They habe come down in price significantly. You can now get a decent one for arround 10k and if you buy it used you can get it for arround 5k. At your age the time that machine would save you is more than worth it. Not to mention you can have a side buisness charge people 600 to strip a car of paint and rust. You could strip a entire car in 2 to 3 hours and would have little to no mess to clean up afterward. That machine would allow you to take on projects that otherwise would be out of reach due to the amount of time it takes. In another 15 years or so your joints and back will be in bad shape. You will want to still do projects but your body will force you to give it up. The laster machine would allow you to continue doing projects into your old years because it takes nothing to do. No heavy bags of silica medium to load into the sand blaster. No clouds of dust or piles of sand to sweep when the job is done. Please take my advice and at least consider getting one. In fact since you are restoring old carnival rides I bet you could make a croud funding campaign to cover the cost. And you could make videos that more people would watch because people love watching the laser remove rust. Maybe restore 2 rides a year. Get a Spencer for the channel. Add some music n such. Guarentee more people would watch if the videos were formated differently and the titles were "Abandond Carnival Ride Restoration" that way the videos woild show up in the urban explorers search results and would reach more people. You can also continue to raise money to help rescue vintage rides that otherwise would have been forgotten to time
I totally hear you. But at this point in my life there are many places I could better spend 5k. For instance, if I had 5K in my hand right now, I'd be calling an HVAC guy to install a mini-split system in the workshop. And many other examples that would come before buying a laser. But these are all hobbies and spending 5k in one chunk on a hobby is a no-go. The laser rust removal is fascinating, I love to watch it too. I'd love to have one, If a sponsor wants to come along I wouldn't turn it down.
As for your other suggestions about what you think I should be doing with the channel, well, I thought that was the direction I was going so I'm a bit disappointed to hear that it isn't apparent. Music is a tough call.. some people want music, some people complain about the "stupid music" and want to hear just the natural sounds of the tools working.. So all I can really do is make videos about what I'm doing, the way I want to do it and people either like them or they don't.
