Amazing work on removing the rust and old paint. Many will think "Hey what a junk and throw it or sell it off, but you have proven that things can be restored to original beauty. Amazing work. Now just repair the things that need repairs and do a good paint job. It will look majestic.
Quick idea, go through the workpiece together with the customer and mark every surface he wants done with construction spray paint so there are no misunderstandings. Like a lumberjack basically. Great work as always.
Man your setup is better than ever, so efficient! Honestly they should have taken the cab off this one, taped off what needed taping, and have you blast the lot.
Hello Matt, I am a new subscriber from the USA. Your video is great and so is your work. Believe it or not I was in the dental field and had to sandblast small metal fittings that would need bonding. I hated the feel of the sand on me lol. I give you a lot of credit ❤
Thank you, friend, I would like to know what equipment I should buy to start the sandblasting, what compressor and what would be the torba for the sand, that is, cfm capacity, and capacity for the torba, thank you, I would like you to be my mentor
@oscar rafael martinez arguello ideally you need to know what workload you plan on taking on as this will decide the size of the compressor. 140/180 good size for 1 man starting out to get the feel for things then 260 ish if your good at driving with a trailer. 350+ if you have the ability and workload. The compressor determine the nosel size you need loads of charts online to match cfm psi to the available air 👌 these videos arnt a how too they is alot more to blasting than these videos show please keep that in mind what works for me my not be the only way to blast 👍 everyone dose things their own way and I'm sure you will finds methods that will work better for your style
Thank you 😊 but if you are worried about the paint residue it's water-based and biodegradable. Also the media used was 100% recycled and none toxic 👍 hopefully this process will keep this unit in service for many more years must be alot better than sending it for scrap and a new unit been made to replace it imagine the co2 involved in that process 👌👍

WOW I swear that laser cleaning was the best way to go but you proved me wrong my friend. Blasting is a lot faster and makes the surface look clean. Yes there are pros and cons to both but I would like to have a blaster now. 😂
Mick, as mentioned in one of my previous comments I asked if the spot on the bucket arm and light bracket were left untouched for a reason. I watched the video again and it seems that they were left untouched for a reason. One of the plausible reasons could be for color matching purposes. You went up the arm to a point and stopped. The light bracket was never touched in spite of you meticulously cleaning those areas 2 or 3 times. Plausible? In spite of what the client wants, how often do you go above and beyond because it looks better or reveals something the client didn't see?
😊 when I've got a working relationship we both have a understanding and he knows what he wants doing and I will say what I'm likely to achieve then when I start and if I see anything that's may need more work or make life easier for the painter and not add much time on my work I will do it. I always have the painters in mind to keep life easy for them but also keeping in the job sheet in mind
Just bought an 12v electric valve to convert mine. Found a little switch that fits in the place of the rubber mushroom so will keep the deadman’s handle. Just with out the airlines.
Mick, this is incredible! I love watching your content. I'm located in the USA, and just purchased my blasting company 2 months ago and we are just about ready to start blasting! If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to blast this loader? & how many bags of media did you use? lastly, what camera are you filming with? Thank you again
I cannot remember off the top of my head but it was done in the shift I usually load up with 1 ton of media on the hopes I'm bringing some back 👍 I use gopro hero 9 and 10 but I wouldn't advise them as the batteries are crap and they over heat lose a lot of footage etc I'm sure the is better available 👍
😬 it will be quicker cleaning the mess up than having to re sand the areas that got wet 😉 in my opinion it was worth making a mess to save hours in labour 👌👍
😂 I work closely with this company for a long period of time and he basically says how much he wants to spend so I know they will pay what ever the bill is they give me an idea what they want to spend and how far they want to go but sometimes its not practical for me to stop so I use my better judgement and experience as to keep the painter happy if I just did spot blasting it would make it really hard for the painter to follow on but make my job super easy 😬
I'm using a major valve next step down from a Thompson value if you have the Clemco type with the rubber try turning it 90° that way you get another 3 turns at a fresh bit of the sleeve 🤗
Sandblasting, to me, is an incredibly satisfying process, with an exceptional end result. Just today morning I've blasted some parts of a tractor with the little gun and it was sweet! 😏What type of abrasive you're using? It seems sandy.. I'm working mostly with grit (BB). Cheers, keep on!
Thankyou 😊 laser cannot compete with a blaster just yet the technology isn't quite there plus you still need to sand a project to make a key for paint 👍
To be fair it wouldn't make much difference it dose help slightly as the grease once blasted has a chance of sticking back to fresh steel if it was prior this would be reduced but not worth the effort or time as its just as quick to re hit the affected areas
Great job Mick. Hey I want to ask you if the owner of this equipment set up to have it painted or anything after you finish sandblasting it? Seems crazy to expose fresh steel, and just get more rust. Just thought I would ask. Thanks for the badass video. Glad I found your channel, and I cant wait to watch more of your videos.
Brilliant video thank you very much❤👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It can last up untill it starts getting wet or humidity getting to it I've had jobs in the unit for months and it's still been fine but I've also blasted jobs and in the morning and put the parts in the van to drop off later and they looked as if they hadn't been blasted 🫣
In reality they start to rust immediately! The question is how bad is the environment that the unit/piece is in. By the sea ? Inland after two weeks of dry weather? If you want it to last you need to start coating as soon as possible. The trick is that’s where the real profit is in a business like this, provide extra services and reap the benefits without changing job site. More overhead and more risks, but you get paid accordingly.
@chrisdzisiak7540 I've had stuff I've blasted in the unit for months and it still looked as clean as it did after it was blasted I've also had stuff I've blasted put in the van to deliver the same day and it's looked as if it's not been blasted 😬 totally depends on how dry you can keep it 👌👍
I'm guessing that machine is probably very high hours and the inside probably shows this too hence the limited spray job and likely low sale margin on the machine.
No inside the cab looked as fresh as a new en he said something about the finance company taking it back to the dealer I didn't ask too many questions so I'm sorry its a little vague
@@Mobileblaster fair enough, considering how well it came up it seems a real pity not to go further. The wheel arches would likely straighten out easily and it would look really tidy with the other scabby bits blasted and sprayed.
Sometimes it's a matter of mixing man hours with the profit in the job I would love to get on a fully stripped unit to make a perfect job but it doesn't always work like that 😳
100% without a doubt blasting wins hands down in every aspect. Hears my take perches price cannot compete as they are 50 to 100x more expensive to purchase they take 50x to 100x more power to even come close to the lowest spec blaster. They are 10x + slower to complete a project. They cannot profile so no good to repaint over you still will need to sand the project to key for paint. One could argue they don't make dust that's true but they also pollute so about the same. Don't get me wrong I'm all for the method and would love the technology to catch up as more options can only mean a good thing for the end user 👍
that rig sure looks like it saw a lot of liquid concrete in its days odd they didnt want the fenders done as well i mean its not like it wouldnt take a few for ya to do an once painted would improve the look n value of the loader
It is wired how this company works some times but they are a multi million pound business thats been in business 60 or so years so I won't question the logic 😂
Do you like that blasting helmet (I assume it is the NOVA3)? I'm thinking about getting the same one, but I'm not sure on how bad it is for my neck. My last blasting helmet gave a hard time after blasting for a day 😄 Nice job though!
Yeah nova 3 I cannot speak highly enough about it well worth it's money 👌 super glue the ear peaces in and you should have no trouble 👍 its like a motor bike helmet plus the air in pipe has a baffel making it even more liveable reducing the noise of the air into the helmet 👌👍
SHORT jabs are not as good as a steady stream of movement...or at least longer passes. The short jabs waste sand and nit certain areas more than they need. Over repeating as you do just pits the metal even more than it needs.
In a ideal world yeah long even passes is the fastest way but when they is multiple layers of scale and paints I like to keep the hotspot moving as I'm not only keeping a eye on what's happening I'm watching the splash doing short jabs won't make a massive problem if the slash is attacking something is shouldn't 👍 on the tanks I blast that long uniform passes is the best method as I don't have to worry about the waste and they are flat uniform clean
I do have a unit I store media forklift spare blast pots etc but I wouldn't want the problem of logistics to get lumps like this delivered and then worry about keeping it safe untill its picked up. 😊
Hay mick thay whant you to sandblast outside then thay have to understand that it could rain on you.!! In that case thay get what thay get.! You can't control the weather.!!!
That switch that your pressing with your thumb looks like a right pain in the ass to hold. Would you not fit an on off switch? Your thumb will thank you for it in later life.
Ideally it needs to be a kill switch if I drop the pipe it should shut down 😳 I've fixed it now but I did do a spell with cheap switches and then useing the wires alone 😬
Mick :thay have to understand that thay can't put you out side wen it's going to rain.! Hell if there going to do that tell them you get what you get if it rust up because thay got you outside then it's on them.!! Not you.!
Yeah it was my fault really as I picked the day weather forecast said it was going to be 20% chance of rain well that turned out to be 20% more than my like in haha
Looks good but most guys pull this scam to sell the equipment for top dollar and for some reason people fall for it. The Richie Brothers are millionaires from doing this.
If you want to renovate this machine CORRECTLY, it should look like this: 1. disassembly of all corroded elements (in the case of such a terribly neglected machine - total disassembly), 2. sandblasting each detail SEPARATELY, one by one, 3. EVERY detail must be primed IMMEDIATELY after sandblasting - freshly sandblasted steel is very susceptible to rapid corrosion!!! 4. removing deformations and defects and, if there are many of them, re-priming. 5. final painting, at least two layers. 6. assembly and commissioning of the machine. In my opinion, it's a month of intense work for two people. REMOVING RUST WITHOUT DISMANTLING WILL DO MORE HARM THAN BENEFITS!!!! If it turns out that the engine, gearbox, chassis drive units and main oil pump require thorough repairs, then the economic sense of renovating this machine, in my opinion, is a big question mark.
To do this job "Correctly" you listen to the owner and blast what you're told to. You are obversly not a blaster and have done too much Googlein you don't need to paint immediately blasted steel will last days weeks months even years before primer is needed that will be determined by the humidity levels and if you can keep the part(s) dry. I cannot comment on the paint but I do know something they make a paint called DTM direct to metal (rain coat/ one coat all the same stuff) no primer and 1 coat covers 70% sheen ideal for truck chassis heavy plant etc. I'm not saying blasting like this is how to do it the proper way and the only way but it's how I do it well it's how I get told to do it. I know this company has been in business for 70 plus years I think they know whats needed and how much man hours and money to put into a unit that's going back out on hire
Why the fcuk would you only ask for part of it to be done?🤷♂️ 😁. Either do it properly or don't bother at all! Obviously it'll look better than before but it's going to be obvious it's only had half a paint job which is going to make people a bit suspicious if you're selling it on. I'd be a bit wary buying a machine that has obviously had a freshen up and they'd only bothered to do half of it! I kinda makes you wonder what else they've cut corners on🤔. Sorry mate, no rant intended! 😂
It was something to do with the finance company they tuck it back off lease and had a small pot of money to spend before sending it back I didn't ask too many questions I just do as I'm told 😬👍
@@Mobileblaster Fair enough mate, but yeah best policy not to ask😁. Do you do coatings yourself or do you let the customer get someone in? I imagine the coatings side of things is another can of worms best avoided? 🙂. BTW what sort of blasting pot do you run? I'm interested to know what kind of setup you have a preference for in regards to the equipment. I do a little bit of blasting myself but mostly for myself and on my property. I got setup with an old compair C73 and a nice new hodge clemco 1448NC soft blast pot. I intended doing a lot of soda blasting on classic vehicles etc, but as yet it's mostly been old farm equipment and machinery with crushed glass😒. Getting dry air was one of the biggest headaches, but I picked up an old HPC refrigerant air dryer and jerry rigged it to run on our single phase supply using phase converter. Also just finished cobbling together a mobile air dryer using the aftercooler out of a 750cfm compair compressor and a large buffer tank along with some extra filtration, it's an unsightly beast but it seems to work quite well at the flow rates I use. Regards. 👍
I hate to say this, but who ever hired you to do this job played you like a fiddle. They kept strange areas off the quote to keep the price down, knowing that your professionalism would not allow you to do a half ass job. In my opinion the person who owns this item was negotiating in bad faith and you should charge them more for doing the job correctly.
#why? In the title or description? I've tried before but really struggle with seo for the videos I'm more than happy with the views I get way better than I could ever imagine THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED 😊👌👍
@@Mobileblaster because of the paint-particles. Did you clean up the area after sandblasting. Otherwise they can have negative effects for plants and groundwater.
@ronaldmustermann3304 well I'm not sure if you know the UK law but all motor vehicles sorry automotive(anything thats painted in a body shop other than industrial this is not industrial even then they need a licence) painting is water-based paint so none toxic and biodegradable and its been the law since 2007 with this been a 2018 unit I believe its water-based and biodegradable also the media used was recycled and approved blast media in turn means none toxic and its already a waste product 😉 👍 I hope I've cleared your query and welcome you to ask anymore questions you may have I hope I can help with them 👌👍
Mick, it would be really cool to see some after photos when the owners get these projects painted.
Yeah I would love to hang about to see the finished product but the is always something els for me to be blasting 😆👌😂

Hears my take perches price cannot compete as they are 50 to 100x more expensive to purchase they take 50x to 100x more power to even come close to the lowest spec blaster. They are 10x + slower to complete a project. They cannot profile so no good to repaint over you still will need to sand the project to key for paint. One could argue they don't make dust that's true but they also pollute so about the same. Don't get me wrong I'm all for the method and would love the technology to catch up as more options can only mean a good thing for the end user 👍
that rig sure looks like it saw a lot of liquid concrete in its days odd they didnt want the fenders done as well i mean its not like it wouldnt take a few for ya to do an once painted would improve the look n value of the loader
It is wired how this company works some times but they are a multi million pound business thats been in business 60 or so years so I won't question the logic 😂

Do you like that blasting helmet (I assume it is the NOVA3)? I'm thinking about getting the same one, but I'm not sure on how bad it is for my neck. My last blasting helmet gave a hard time after blasting for a day 😄 Nice job though!
Yeah nova 3 I cannot speak highly enough about it well worth it's money 👌 super glue the ear peaces in and you should have no trouble 👍 its like a motor bike helmet plus the air in pipe has a baffel making it even more liveable reducing the noise of the air into the helmet 👌👍
SHORT jabs are not as good as a steady stream of movement...or at least longer passes. The short jabs waste sand and nit certain areas more than they need. Over repeating as you do just pits the metal even more than it needs.
In a ideal world yeah long even passes is the fastest way but when they is multiple layers of scale and paints I like to keep the hotspot moving as I'm not only keeping a eye on what's happening I'm watching the splash doing short jabs won't make a massive problem if the slash is attacking something is shouldn't 👍 on the tanks I blast that long uniform passes is the best method as I don't have to worry about the waste and they are flat uniform clean
very satisfying...whew!
Thank you 😊
Awesome job!
Thank you 😊 I appreciate it 👌👍
what do you charge for this

You need a old building space you can rent for real cheap like a old car wash or a mechanics building 😊
I do have a unit I store media forklift spare blast pots etc but I wouldn't want the problem of logistics to get lumps like this delivered and then worry about keeping it safe untill its picked up. 😊
Looks like gray paint a lot different than other sandblasting I’ve seen
:) clean steel :) depends on the media some medias leave the steel slightly impregnated leaving a gray/darker finish

Thanks
Nicely done but the painters are going to be pissed at you for blasting in their shed.
😂 Eva that or they could rub it down to remove the surface rust 😏
Don`t understand the need to bounce up and down with the nozzle. Just move it slowly along the area needs cleaning.
👌👍
Hay mick thay whant you to sandblast outside then thay have to understand that it could rain on you.!! In that case thay get what thay get.! You can't control the weather.!!!
Yeah but I try to be as fair as possible as this company do use my services quite a lot :)
Would love to do this as a job. You hiring 😅
I will be soon 😎 well in the next 3 or 4 months hopefully
Great philosophy
😊👌👍
After paying you good coin to blast it in the first place, I would have thought that the owner would have at least put some primer on the bare metal.
It gets put in the paint shed and painted the following day 👍

Skin flints not getting it all blasted
😆😬
why wouldn't a chemical stripping help here. that saves a lot of time is it not, is it too expensive???
Because it would add a cost to a job that wouldn't speed the blaster up enough to justify its use
That switch that your pressing with your thumb looks like a right pain in the ass to hold. Would you not fit an on off switch? Your thumb will thank you for it in later life.
Ideally it needs to be a kill switch if I drop the pipe it should shut down 😳 I've fixed it now but I did do a spell with cheap switches and then useing the wires alone 😬
So yes is the answer then.
😊👌👍
Mick :thay have to understand that thay can't put you out side wen it's going to rain.! Hell if there going to do that tell them you get what you get if it rust up because thay got you outside then it's on them.!! Not you.!
Yeah it was my fault really as I picked the day weather forecast said it was going to be 20% chance of rain well that turned out to be 20% more than my like in haha
This one didnt see any grease in years :o
😬😊
Looks good but most guys pull this scam to sell the equipment for top dollar and for some reason people fall for it. The Richie Brothers are millionaires from doing this.
It's it known as the 5 gallon overhaul 😂
Ya. I'd. Tell them look" if I got to blast this thing again I'm going to charge you for sandblasting it twice.!!!!!
:) this business turn things around very fast I don't fink I will ever see this agin :)
If you want to renovate this machine CORRECTLY, it should look like this:
1. disassembly of all corroded elements (in the case of such a terribly neglected machine - total disassembly),
2. sandblasting each detail SEPARATELY, one by one,
3. EVERY detail must be primed IMMEDIATELY after sandblasting - freshly sandblasted steel is very susceptible to rapid corrosion!!!
4. removing deformations and defects and, if there are many of them, re-priming.
5. final painting, at least two layers.
6. assembly and commissioning of the machine.
In my opinion, it's a month of intense work for two people.
REMOVING RUST WITHOUT DISMANTLING WILL DO MORE HARM THAN BENEFITS!!!!
If it turns out that the engine, gearbox, chassis drive units and main oil pump require thorough repairs, then the economic sense of renovating this machine, in my opinion, is a big question mark.
To do this job "Correctly" you listen to the owner and blast what you're told to.
You are obversly not a blaster and have done too much Googlein you don't need to paint immediately blasted steel will last days weeks months even years before primer is needed that will be determined by the humidity levels and if you can keep the part(s) dry. I cannot comment on the paint but I do know something they make a paint called DTM direct to metal (rain coat/ one coat all the same stuff) no primer and 1 coat covers 70% sheen ideal for truck chassis heavy plant etc.
I'm not saying blasting like this is how to do it the proper way and the only way but it's how I do it well it's how I get told to do it. I know this company has been in business for 70 plus years I think they know whats needed and how much man hours and money to put into a unit that's going back out on hire

Need a pen and paper to write up a contract?
?
Why the fcuk would you only ask for part of it to be done?🤷♂️ 😁. Either do it properly or don't bother at all! Obviously it'll look better than before but it's going to be obvious it's only had half a paint job which is going to make people a bit suspicious if you're selling it on. I'd be a bit wary buying a machine that has obviously had a freshen up and they'd only bothered to do half of it! I kinda makes you wonder what else they've cut corners on🤔.
Sorry mate, no rant intended! 😂
It was something to do with the finance company they tuck it back off lease and had a small pot of money to spend before sending it back I didn't ask too many questions I just do as I'm told 😬👍
@@Mobileblaster Fair enough mate, but yeah best policy not to ask😁. Do you do coatings yourself or do you let the customer get someone in? I imagine the coatings side of things is another can of worms best avoided? 🙂.
BTW what sort of blasting pot do you run? I'm interested to know what kind of setup you have a preference for in regards to the equipment. I do a little bit of blasting myself but mostly for myself and on my property. I got setup with an old compair C73 and a nice new hodge clemco 1448NC soft blast pot. I intended doing a lot of soda blasting on classic vehicles etc, but as yet it's mostly been old farm equipment and machinery with crushed glass😒. Getting dry air was one of the biggest headaches, but I picked up an old HPC refrigerant air dryer and jerry rigged it to run on our single phase supply using phase converter. Also just finished cobbling together a mobile air dryer using the aftercooler out of a 750cfm compair compressor and a large buffer tank along with some extra filtration, it's an unsightly beast but it seems to work quite well at the flow rates I use.
Regards. 👍
I hate to say this, but who ever hired you to do this job played you like a fiddle. They kept strange areas off the quote to keep the price down, knowing that your professionalism would not allow you to do a half ass job. In my opinion the person who owns this item was negotiating in bad faith and you should charge them more for doing the job correctly.

Mick use hashtag
#why? In the title or description? I've tried before but really struggle with seo for the videos I'm more than happy with the views I get way better than I could ever imagine THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED 😊👌👍
Environmental desaster. This is not allowed in Germany.
🤔 why? Please explain you may know than me 😊👍
@@Mobileblaster because of the paint-particles. Did you clean up the area after sandblasting. Otherwise they can have negative effects for plants and groundwater.
@ronaldmustermann3304 well I'm not sure if you know the UK law but all motor vehicles sorry automotive(anything thats painted in a body shop other than industrial this is not industrial even then they need a licence) painting is water-based paint so none toxic and biodegradable and its been the law since 2007 with this been a 2018 unit I believe its water-based and biodegradable also the media used was recycled and approved blast media in turn means none toxic and its already a waste product 😉 👍 I hope I've cleared your query and welcome you to ask anymore questions you may have I hope I can help with them 👌👍
A job poorly done👎
Ah ok can you advise what I can do to make it better? and I can try to explain why things got done like this
What is the point behind it, you would have to paint it, otherwise it will rust even worse???
Seface preparation for repaint. I'm basically saving all the sanding time and making a cleaner job 👌👍
