Little side note to this video: I'm not much a fan of this video to be honest, but it was a highly requested video by a lot of viewers on my main channel. So here it is :-)
Thank you for posting this! Watching the sandblasting is very relaxing after a stressful day. And you sandblast with such precision, it makes it even more enjoyable.
You are absolutely right about the satisfaction of blasting off rust , old paint , peeling plating , etc. I have used various abrasives from plain dry sawdust for delicate items , all the way up the hardness scale to crushed slag ( the leftover oxides from steel manufacturing. ) My standard media is glass beads . These are used to clean calcium build up from pool tile . Arizona has water you can chew !
A video of different methods of removing rust with pros and cons of each method can be very useful. Sand blasting is great for many things but it has its limitations and drawbacks.
A bit long for me, but it was nice to see how your technique and efficiency improved over time. It was also great to see the transformed & finished projects at the end of each segment. Thanks much for what you bring to our tables!
@@james.black981 He has also uploaded videos with the old power button *after* videos with the new one, so I think he uses old footage just to trigger people. :)
I'd love to see some micrometer measurements of how much material sandblasting actually removes, as well as information about the different blasting media.
Not much, unless you hold it in one place for a long time. You just do it until the rust is gone though. The edges don't round much either. You could do a knife and only have minor repair to get the edge back. If you want even less damage you can bead blast, or walnut shell blast. The shells being more of a cleaning process. You can use several things for the media, but is needs to have uniform size or it will clog the nozzle. Aluminum oxide grit is the most common. Silicon carbide could also be used, but is more expensive. General dand can be, but must be screened well, and breaks down faster. Bead blasting is tiny glass beads, and walnut shells are ground up and screened shell bits. Soda blasting uses baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Shot blasting uses steel shot (small steel balls). It has the effect of pounding tiny dents into the surface.
Can I ask on what type of media do you use? I know there are many types of sandblasting media and the size of grain. I am interested in purchasing my own cabinet someday. I already have the central pneumatic air configured for all my tools and car working.
I was assuming it was glass bead, thanks for confirming. In college I worked for a VW specialty garage and I had the job of blasting all the cylinder heads pulled for overhaul (air cooled VWs - it was the 1970s). It was several per day, usually; it does take a while, but the result is so satisfying...
Love how many people are curious about the button 🥰 who knew you could get inside jokes on a Swiss dude's mechanical restoration channel. I love the internet
Thanks for always sharing your work ! A question, something I don't understand, lot of restoration channels remove the rust before sandblasting, why sometimes is it done like this and other times it's not ?
Because the rubber that covers the switch is torn and whenever it appears in a video a lot of viewers say that he should fix it. I guess he hasn't fixed it yet 🤣
Henry Hey it’s just a for joke as far as i know; since every my.mechanics project is so pristine, people have expressed their distaste for the ruined switch, and eventually m.m’s started censoring the offender XD
Very, very satisfying video! Is it possible to comment what material you are blasting with in each instance? I am curious to see hot the different blasting materials perform, as well as if you change the air pressure for different target materials that you are blasting. Thanks!!!
Hi, i love to watch these videos even though i'm really a newbie about these matters, I would like to know what are your criteria when it comes to clean a part? Sometimes you apply paint stripper, then sandblasting, sometimes just sandblasting. Thanks.
@my mechanics insights: Your English is very good and quite natural. Don't apologize for it! I'm curious, what do you do with the objects you restore: collect them, resell them, give them away, something else? All the best from Fricktal, Rob
You do a really good job at maintaining your sandblaster, nice solid blasting all the way through! I always neglect changing out the blast media and topping it off, so i'm constantly trying to get the media to slide toward the pickup, and it always becomes splotchy at working because there some much dilution in it 😂. I thought i was the only one too, till i used others and found the same scenario 🤣.
I have to agree as someone who has used cabinet to large equipment and even large ship hull blasting equipment.... very satisfying. indeed. So enjoyable to watch the metal come though from the rust and scale on what is being blasted.
I actually like watching the sandblasting process. I am looking for a content provider that films the whole sandblasting process. It may be boring to you, you sandblast all the time... But to me, it's like watching something old become new in real time. I really like this kind of content. Thanks for providing!!
We need the times spent sandblasting these pieces! When you see sandblasting, a lot of the times, you have no idea how long it takes to do it. Can you time the procedure and put the times in the video? It would be really helpful. Thanks!
@@mymechanicsinsights It seems to work much better than any of the ones I have tried. Much much pressure do you use? My own sanding box I got from a friend wants to explode even at medium pressures.
Hello i have a question. Some of my friends have told me that there is abrasive in most of the stainless kitchen ware (spoons, chopsticks, pot, etc...) and it contains silicone carbide. They say this is carcinogenic and when you use normal oil(sunflower, olive etc..) to clean it, black stuff rubs off of it for hours and hours and that's supposed to be abrasive. I thought abrasive didn't really stick on to the material so much that it could be rubbed off even after an intense 4 hours of cleaning session. And was told that companies doesn't really have regulations on abrasive in their product so they don't care. Any thoughts on this matter??
I always wonder what´s the matter with the power switch on your sand blasting cabinet. In some videos it´s pixeled, in some there´s a broken silicone cover seen and in some it looks like there´s another (new?) switch.
What do you use in your sandblasting cabinet? I'm about to get one for doing restoration jobs like this, just curious what is the best type a media to use
Hello. What sandblasting media do you use? And if you are changing it for a different applications, which would you suggest as a most universal (for the same purpose as you use it in your compilation). Thank you. And btw, great work, keep it going
Hahaha! I loved the part where you had the rubber dust cover of your sand blasting unit’s power switch pixilated! I must have missed that in the original video for that one, because I definitely would have mentioned it. I had been saying to myself for a while, “ugh, you really gotta do something about that dust cover, boss.” Nice to see my, and probably many others’ mental vibes finally made it to you! 😂
Rust removal ad nauseum, well presented. What about blasting with appropriate medium, carbs, plastic items, wood hard and soft, frosting fx on glass, stone, brick work and stain removal front concrete and pavers?
I don't understand when it's time to remove the rust why you are using a chemical product for certain parts, the sandblasting process for some other parts and then the metallic brush in other cases. Could you please clear this to me? Why not using only the metallic brush?

It is very cathartic to just watch you sand blast part after part... Thanks for sharing!
Since we're doing requests, can we have one where you just smooth out those rough edges? 🤤
Thanks alot.. howdy from South Pole, Texas

@@paulkita neeeooow, neeeoow, neow, neow, ni, ni, neeeeeooww. :P
A suggestion: Reverse this video and upload a "painting with rust" video.
Watch agog as man turns an awesome plane into rusty pieces of crap
Call it Antiquing Counterfeiting process.
model builders making it all the time :D
I never thought about it but this really does seem like one of those things you should try at least once in your life.
Try as much as possible. Learn something and add it to the Rolodex of experiences.
Absolutely! Blasting with different materials is awesome! Try different blasting media! I love blasting with walnut shells
I do enjoy watching sandblasting. There is something soothing about seeing the part emerging from decades of abuse and shine again.
It’s called “oddly satisfying” and there’s a sub-reddit for it.
Stfu
You are one of the few restorers that I can stand to watch sandblast. The others gets on my nerves for some reason but your technique is soothing.
You are absolutely right about the satisfaction of blasting off rust , old paint , peeling plating , etc. I have used various abrasives from plain dry sawdust for delicate items , all the way up the hardness scale to crushed slag ( the leftover oxides from steel manufacturing. ) My standard media is glass beads .

That last sentence made me wanna barf 😂😂 that sounds really satisfying though!

I'm sure you have been asked about it, but I will ask, too: Would you consider a shop tour? I would love to see your shop.
I'm currently restoring my shop, i might make a shop tour video when it's finished.
@@mymechanicsinsights you should've made a youtube series on you restoring your shop!
That's exactly what I was thinking
This shop is gone, I make a new one... 😉
@@uniquejayadiningrat9521 ,
Well, you may not be a fan but I am! It's genuinely beautiful to see the transformation form old and rusty to fresh and full of potential.
Ox tongue iron starts with old power button and ends with new? I feel like you're just testing to see if we're watching that closely. We are. :)
12 seconds in an a button is blurred out. He already knows we watch that closely, otherwise the button wouldn't be blurred out 🤣🤣
@@james.black981 He has also uploaded videos with the old power button *after* videos with the new one, so I think he uses old footage just to trigger people. :)
@@HepauDK well it works...

same. does it round off edges like the polishing wheel does?
Not much, unless you hold it in one place for a long time. You just do it until the rust is gone though. The edges don't round much either. You could do a knife and only have minor repair to get the edge back.

OMG! He’s released a “Greatest Hits” video!! If only, I could sandblast the chaos out daily life...
Yaaay! New video for all of those people who cant sleep.
Loved it! ❤
Your attention to detail is just awesome, well done good sir!
It's not a sandblaster compilation, it's a power button orgy !
i miss the good old broken power button cap...
I almost dropped my phone because of this comment xD
I enjoy your videos so much, you are truly a craftsman.
It's 3 AM, and I'm watching a sandblasting compilation. I need job fast :'(
Okay, this is not helping my OCD. Now, I would like to have my own sandblasting set up!
So satisfying to watch. Thank you!
I find watching grit blasting to be very satisfying. I’m glad that you’ve done a blasting compilation.
Can I ask on what type of media do you use? I know there are many types of sandblasting media and the size of grain. I am interested in purchasing my own cabinet someday. I already have the central pneumatic air configured for all my tools and car working.
I was looking for this comment. Recently bought a small Sandblaster and want to use it efficiently
I'm using glass bead. The most important thing on a sandblaster is a very strong compressor.
I was assuming it was glass bead, thanks for confirming. In college I worked for a VW specialty garage and I had the job of blasting all the cylinder heads pulled for overhaul (air cooled VWs - it was the 1970s).

Thanks for always sharing your work ! A question, something I don't understand, lot of restoration channels remove the rust before sandblasting, why sometimes is it done like this and other times it's not ?
I do remove paint before sandblasting, because having old paint in the blasting media will turn it bad much faster.
Yes!!! Finally a video dedicated to sandblasting, thank you so much, this is like ASMR to me
Beautiful jobs! Do you powder coat for paint or spray can?
What's better than power washing? Sandblasting duh!
25 min of Mindfulness, it could have been an hour long, so relaxing!
Curious question: why pixelate the on switch of your sandblaster? it has appeared already in many of your other videos.
Because the rubber that covers the switch is torn and whenever it appears in a video a lot of viewers say that he should fix it. I guess he hasn't fixed it yet 🤣
Henry Hey it’s just a for joke as far as i know; since every my.mechanics project is so pristine, people have expressed their distaste for the ruined switch, and eventually m.m’s started censoring the offender XD
It isn't his machine and I suppose the 'jokes' have gotten old and tiresome. I know they are for me.
@@Vickie-Bligh The pixelated button IS the joke. Button was fixed months ago. M.M is just trolling us back at this point :)
Too many people with a power button fetish.

I love all of your job, my preferred is the green gressel vise, it's always good to see it.
am i the only one who puts these on to go to sleep? the machines being used are soothing to hear for some reason.
The pixelated button reminds me of Japan somehow
Haha. Greetings from Japan!
Hahaha!! 😂🤣😂
Little pervert
What is it with sand blasting, love that part of the build.

I think all these are done in around 30-60 minutes
Question: If you had access to one of those high power rust removing lasers, would you use it?
I will never not click on your notifications
they always improve my day
thank you
You are a "Master Blaster" indeed. So satisfying, so next a polishing compilation?!
You're the only one that shows sandblasting in real time. Why does everyone else speed it up?
Probably because it’s boring and tedious and they haven’t thought to edit out large chunks of video and instead speed it up.
Agreed, sandblasting is very boring.
My guess is that my sandblaster has much more pressure, that's why it progresses faster.
@@mymechanicsinsights It seems to work much better than any of the ones I have tried. Much much pressure do you use? My own sanding box I got from a friend wants to explode even at medium pressures.
@@FilleMang pressure is important but also the blasting media, right stuff for every application!
I like your taste in colors. For steel, what brand / type of paint do you use?
A question, this would be good for rusty drum hardware?
What are you using for air supply and are you using soda for the blasting material?
Hello i have a question. Some of my friends have told me that there is abrasive in most of the stainless kitchen ware (spoons, chopsticks, pot, etc...) and it contains silicone carbide.

It's glass beads
@@mymechanicsinsights thank you. My guess was either glass beads or aluminum oxide. So glass beads it is. Enjoy rest of the weekend
I do enjoying your sandblast video and I want to know that what is your sandblast model could you share details please thanks sir
thanks friend, can i ask how many liters is your air compressor? i would made a sandblaster but i think i got a too small one, thank you.
Love how the sandblaster button got more and more worn 🤣
what material and grade do you blast with?
I'm using glass bead
Request: 'So, I make a new one' videos.
Meanwhile, Stay home. Stay safe.
There are two "i make a new one" compilations on this channel

Hello From 🇮🇳 Nice Video And Very Nice Processing Metal Rust Removing Can U Told Me Equipment Name And Price
When will you finally repair the power button on the sandblast?
Rust removal ad nauseum, well presented. What about blasting with appropriate medium, carbs, plastic items, wood hard and soft, frosting fx on glass, stone, brick work and stain removal front concrete and pavers?
also what type of media are you using ???
I don't understand when it's time to remove the rust why you are using a chemical product for certain parts, the sandblasting process for some other parts and then the metallic brush in other cases. Could you please clear this to me? Why not using only the metallic brush?
What kind of media do you generally use for this kind of rust/old paint removal?
I'm using glass bead
If you don't have a sandblaster, what would you recommend as the next best thing?
Do you have a description or link to the equipment you use on your video?
I hope you have satisfying videos every week..
Nice work i think i will enjoy your channel
Everything came out so clean.
Glad you like it :-)
can you kindly tell me what compressor do you using
Would you mind sharing about the machines you`ve been using?
Wonderful inspiration for one to lurk observingly about the community rubbish removal site.
This is always my favorite part of the video. :D
what grit is your sandblasting sand? 40grit, 80grit, etc. what is maximum PSI you are using?
Did you ever mentioned the tools you used so we can replicate what you did?
The blurred power button still cracks me up!
If I play it in reverse, I pretend you invented the rust gun 😂
So why sometimes the liquid rust remover and other times this?
Why do you blur out the power switch on your sandblasting cabinet?
sanblasting vs laser bagaimana hasilnya ?
This is so satisfying I wanna try this now!
Great job dude! But why you don't restore something like an bench grinder?
Good job buddy!
I haven't seen sandblasting before so I found this video very interesting
Wish I had one of those machines! 👍
Hadn't realised you said et Voilà every time LOL
Could you please tell me how your sandblasting gun throws out so much sand? Mine doesnt
no idea
Sandblasting is awesome!
Si me permites una sugerencia, el sandblasting se vería mucho mejor al hacerle zoom con la cámara. Saludos desde España.
your sandblasting is why I following you
Why do you turn on the machine before put the objects inside?
because i need to see light inside
You're fhe only channel using glass bead blasting instead of sand blasting (some even usr aluminum oxide). That creates much better surface.
What the gun that you use called?
Yo Buddy. What kind of sandblaster do you have?
I can't tell, it's my friends
