Thank you SO MUCH! I am a high school teacher in the United States and we needed this in our classroom. We couldn't afford to buy one...and this low cost solution is PERFECT!! PLUS - my students get to build it themselves which really adds to our project! Thanks again!
It's great that we could help ;)
Regards :)
its pretty sad if a school in america cant afford a sandblasting cabinet :S but glad there was a way
@@Albert87nl That money was spent on gender studies
@@markjohnson518nonsense, billions spend on bombing braun and poor people. Idiots in America youre welcome
@@markjohnson518 hahaha! Right?!?!
Living on a budget, married with 5 kids, this is an amazing video. Always wanted a sandblast box.
Brilliant 🤓🤓.
I was looking for a way to convert my old blast cabinet into a storage box so... I watched your video backwards 👍😁👀👀
🤣🤣🤣
I always admire the guy who gets it done on his own. Im lazy an bought a cabinet lol. Good job
Thank you for sharing. If you were to consider a version two.. you might want to try putting the glass under the lid and keep the lid intact. Put your foam seal around the edges of the glass to sandwich between it and underside of plastic lid to keep sand from entering and silicone to keep glass in place. That would remove much effort and also keep the integrity of the lid and protect the glass when it is in storage.
Always wanted a sandblaster but didn't want to pay that much for those one off jobs. This is so perfect great idea thanks !
Great built & brilliant idea. For better viewing maybe you can add a LED strip to light up.
It's good idea, sometimes it's to dark inside ;)
Regards
Just genius! Simple, well explained, step by step, affordable, but most important: super ingenious! :)
I've been using blast cabinets for 50 years and all had a vacuum, otherwise you have a dust cloud that makes it hard to see your work, in fact, we knew when to change the filters because the vacuum was no longer able to keep the air clean and we couldn't see. the airflow to the filters went thru a maze to trap the dust and make it easier on the filters. I'm retired and going to build one like yours and build a maze on the back side with pvc pipe. what happens is after a while the sand particles become smaller and more likely to remain airborne along with the particles of the material that is being removed. the maze will not be glued at each end so it can be easily removed for cleaning, thanks for making this video I am now motivated to make one
IKEA or Curver has such big boxes with removable lids, also with rollers on the bottom, however rollers may not be good while you work in the box (they are removable). I'd add some sealing stripe onto the top of the lip of the box part. Those clips could be made of the same metal bracket you used by bending them to the right form. (which are used for hanging the frame of plasterboard ceilings). I'd also add some strengthening wooden frame below the surface of the lid to hold the glass and not to brake it in any circumstances. Silicone sealant is fine to stick the glass to the lid or repair the gaps between any sealing mistakes. Great idea anyway, and a perfect tutorial! I would like to watch more of these contents on YT! Thank you!
Instead of glass I'll try the thin transparent plexiglass. Using silicone sealer will be perfect for fixing that plexiglass to the cover lid.
Thank you for the IKEA box mentioning, I found exactly the same, the largest 130Lit.
Dude, what a great build 😎. Was just looking at buying a cabinet as I want to rebuild my brake calipers but will now make one like yours. Thanks for the video.
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for this instruction video.
Glad to see you posted this video - I subbed when I watched your Mk1 VW Caliper rebuild video and saw that you used a similar sandblasting cabinet. Thanks for showing us how to build one for ourselves. It's a brilliant design, and you presented it very well. Cheers from Canada!

This is brilliant I'll definitely be building this. Excellent instructions clear and to the point 👍
Excellent tutorial! You are gratefully appreciated for sharing. Thank You!
Love this !!! simple, economical, and functional!. thank's ! as an improvement, we could suck the sand directly from the box with a hose! ;)
My son and I (he's 7) are restoring old matchbox cars. Teaching him to use tools and how to do repairs and such. Currently teaching him how to make a small 60psi sandblaster before he moves to more expensive stuff. This is a great addition as I don't want him inhaling the sandblast or rust and paints. Saving subscribing and maybe I'll send ya what he does with the set up we make.
I'd like to see it ;)
Best regards for you guys ;)
That's awesome!
I don't like to tinker with cars at all but now you made me wanna do a sandblastingbox! I should be able to use it for so many other projects :)
Fantastic! I was thinking about building one using a storage box. This just gave me ideas for all the bits I wasn't sure about :)
Thanks a lot! I have thought of the idea of making sandblasting cabinet the same way you do for a long time, prototyped few with a cardboard boxes, but I'm very slow at designing tools for workshop. Your build is clean, cheap and straightforward and proportions seams right, I'll just try to replicate your design in a week or so! Thanks a lot!
This is the best instructional for a DIY blast cabinet I’ve seen. Really need this for glass work inside. Saving the video and subscribed!
Very good idea, and very well explained. Thanks a lot
For the air flow holes, use shop vac universal fit filters.
Very well done, I will use this to build my own cabinet this week!
this build is simple but genius !!! thanks for the video
Thanks for making this vid! I was going to waste 120 for a harbor freight one which would be really heavy to move around. It’s simple enough and now I’ll be keeping an eye for the storage box like the one you made the sand blasting box from. Excellent job!!
Ikea👍
Legend. This is brilliant. Thanks.
Hi, just wanted to say thanks for this nice idea. Built myself a very similar box after I saw this video when it was new, still works nice today (with some improvements, i.e. LED strips in the lid plus a cheap chinese footswitch and solenoid plumbed into the airline). I also used a screw-on cable gland for electrical junction boxes for a more "professional" airline passthrough instead of tape and zip ties.
The hardest part was to find an appropriate sized plastic box big enough (>70l) with a sturdy enough clip-on lid online and get it shipped during COVID...
So cool! Thank you for making this video. Can't wait to get started on one. 🙏🏻👍🏻
What a great idea! Nice light weight, cheap and should work great. good job.
Excellent, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Perfect. I found a box in the local hardware store with almost the exact same dimensions. Will be using that for a similar build tomorrow.
A really good job, cheap and practise. Thanks a lot
This guy is a genious.
Nooooooooooo
FANTASTICO!!!
Grazie 1000!!!!!!!!!
Elegantly simple design!
Thank you for this tutorial.
Gr8 idea. Cheers Graham
Very well explained. Thanks!!
Just so nice and cheap! Thx so much!
Geniale!
Complimenti!
That is great!!! We are going to hardware store! Immediately! Thanks! Many thanks!
Brilliant!!, saw this box in another video of yours while learning how to rebuild a break caliper and I happened to have perfect box here right beside me ;) Then this one was right at the top of suggestions ;) Will build one this weekend ;)
Brilliant!... I have just purchased a sand blasting gun and crushed walnut nut cases for the media and was wondering how to make a blasting cabinet.... your idea will be perfect.
Thank you for sharing
Keith (UK) 👍
How did you cabinet go? did you make one in the end, and did it work ok with the curshed walnut ?
Thank you for idea!
It is really, really good!
Very good Job. I can make one now. Thanks for the information and video.
Beautiful idea!!! Maybe by adding a grid on the bottom, you can work more freely from the sand. Many compliments!
What do you mean grid? Im curious to try that could you explain further?
@@Thejustincredible500 I meant that by means of a grid (a net or something like that) positioned raised from the base of the box, you could work in a cleaner way because the sand would fall under the grid and would not create any obstacle with the deposit of the sand.
An old oven rack/refrigerator shelf supported by some wood (45x45 ,2x2) that can be attached with screws and large washers.
Excellent Project!
Great idea guys. Thumbs up!
A great Idea Fella' I built my blast cabinet in 12 mm Ply. But that was before I saw your video, So that is my next project, great info and costing next to nothing, And perfect for brake calipers.
I built mine to take a one two or four cyl Small boat engine.
I am now working on a revolving table to be able to cover all sides of the engine, Just great fun building it too. RUclips you can learn anything on this just brill.
Great Job!!!! I have to make one of these cabinets for myself.
Did see it first from caliber vid and found this vid after, very cool vid. Did just order det box! 😅👍 I just got a new project, tnx😎👌
Brilliant I need that!
Greaat idea, I know what I will be doing during lockdown now! Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Excelente ,gracias por, la idea,
Awesome
You're a genius

Fantastic. Thank you!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Excelente idea!!!!!!! Gracias
A1. I'm going to try it. Thanks for an excellent idea.
Excellent video!
This is great, easy to follow clear instructions. I happen to have picked up the same container and clips, next make my list of parts and order them. Cheers 👍
Thanks :) Best Regards
That's a great low budget idea
Brilliant!
Thank you for this sandbox. I need to make a sandblaster box too. William T.
Beautiful watch.
Amazing
Can’t wait till tomorrow to start mine ... great 👍
very good job man
from ALGERIA
Great info thanks for sharing,
thank you brother good work. this helped me a lot.
Nice little set up
Good ideia. Luve!
Great idea!
Really good job bro, well done
Bravo friend. Splendid
This is cool. Thank you.
Great video...third video I've watched today about DIY Media Blasting Boxes. I'm wondering why none of the videos I watched were QD (Quick Detach) compressed air line parts used. I feel like that solves a lot of the issues of being able to remove the sprayer inside the box and being able to disconnect the air-in line from the outside of the box. Just permanently mount a female/female QD coupling in one wall of the box and now you can quickly and easily disconnect air line inside and outside of the box and maintain a solid sealed connection port. Anyway, great build. Thanks and keep the content coming!
This will be perfect for fossil sandblasting! Thanks!
Excellent!
Well done!
this is amazing
beau travail et super idée merci
This is brilliant. I'd love to know more about the gun, the media, and the compressor you'd use with this setup.
me too.. :)

Great project and video - THANKS. I would recommend using hose clamps to hold the gloves in place though.
very good, i'am doing mine many thanks for the idea.
That's a very good idea, I like it. I will make one also for my projects.
Excellent video was going to buy on but now seeing your video I think I will make my own but on my one I will had a light
Thanks for the video.
strong work!
Great thinh,thank you !!! 😃👍
Thanks. Very cool Idea 😎👍 I will do that, too 😉
Brilliant.
Bravo! Semplice da realizzare e molto chiaro (sebbene io capisca pochissimo l'inglese), perché le immagini sono molto esplicite.
Bravo.
Full class dude!
