- You will have to play with the setting and see what makes it work best for you. Don't be afraid to color outside of the lines and think for yourself.
-- Air compressor = One large enough to spray at 60psi. I use the 2hp 29gal 120v from Harbor Freight.
-- Grit = for polish I have found that glass bead size (170-325) works best.
-- Amount of grit = Play with it. I just add handfuls until it starts spraying nicely. Once again, think for yourself.
-- Spray at a 45 degree angle about 12 inches away from part. Once again, experiment what works best for you and the parts you are refinishing.
-- No, I will not make you a list of parts and where to buy them. Quit being lazy.
-- Before each use, stick your hand down in the bucket and stir it all up.
-- I have found that the holes in the tube get clogged. You can clean them or, remove the plug at the end of the hose and put an inline adjustable valve prior to the hose and adjust so you still get enough medium up to the gun.
-- Creating this video has shown me how lazy and entitled a lot of you are. Knock your shit off. You're grown adults that are ruining it for everyone.

Who says they don’t love this video. Philistinism. Great work 🇺🇸
Philistinism is the real virus we should be worried about.
Always has been, always will be 👍🏻
@@MotorcyclesandArt have a blast cabinet, just ordered a pump, shopping for a new compressor,BTW, about how much glass do you put in your water? rough ratio! Last... THANK YOU for making this video!
Couple of thoughts, having all the Jets in one direction will cause a whirlpool which will naturally tend to put the aggregate into the center of the bucket right under the pump inlet, it stacks it right up nicely. Second, go to an aquarium store and pick up a magnetic tank cleaner, you can clip it on the window and squeegee the glass clean from the outside, they work great! Third, grab some filter floss while you are there too or use a thick scotchbrite pad and stuff alittle into the air outlet channel and it will cut down on the mist carried out of the exhaust and keep it in the cabinet nicely. And last, wire that puppy up with a GFI in case the lights or the pump get a little sparky and you are golden. Glad you went into the engineering on the flow vs. diameter, most DIY vids suck at the specifics, it is VERY much appreciated, going to have to build one with all the newfound time I have sitting at home because of this Corona virus shit, nicely done!
it also removes about 80 percent of the flow from that hose lol
Do NOT use an aquarium magnet to clean the window. The window is PLASTIC and the mag cleaner will drag media across it scratching the ever-loving shit out of it the very first time you do. Even were the window glass, glass media will scratch glass.
You got it all wrong. Don't use aquarium magnetic tank cleaner. Think welding helmets. they put a piece of cheaper quality thin clear plastic on it to preserve the expensive glass. Or another idea is on fresh air masks for automobile painting they have stick on clear plastic to keep paint off the expensive curved plastic window. Use until it gets cloudy and replace with a new one.
Great video. Most people hack through diy concepts till they work without considering the specifications of components like you did here. Simple calcs like this are the starting point for 'engineering analysis', or basically a 'common sense' approach, and you took the time to do it. It's easy to be lazy and skip that step, but you took the time to do the work. Great example of a good practice and habit. Thanks for sharing!
Side comment, the collective sum of The drilled holes surface area doesn't equal the same as one drilled hole of the same area. It's more of a fluid mechanics concept and has to do with the drag of the flow through each hole. This isn't a criticism, it actually works out in your favor in that that you provided additional margin to the margin you added by choosing 8 or 10 holes instead of 14. Your pressure thanks you ;)
Sir, thank you for your words.
Another idea i have to improve on this is painting the inside of the cabinet with brush on bed-liner to help water proof it and protect the cabinet. Also the blacked out interior would make the parts easier to see in all the mist maybe.
If you're using spherical beads for a polished finish, you need to drop your air pressure enough so that the beads aren't fracturing as they hit the part you are cleaning. The sharp edges of the fractured beads will dull the finish every time, I'm using 35psi on my setup but my nozzle is probably smaller than yours. Give it a try. And throw a cap full of dishwashing liquid in the water too. Good videos, cheers.
The label says "Ground glass", not "Glass Bead".
This makes me believe he mispoke.
I built a blast cabinet, a lot less complicated, no air compressor or circulating pump, just a 5 gallon bucket with a port in the bottom hooked to a hose going to the gun for the abrasive. The suction is strong enough to pull the sand up through the gun. I used a cheap 1750psi Harbor freight pressure washer and a small wet blasting gun off ebay, the plastic one. That lasted only a day before the water orifice wore and it lost the stream of water through the porcelain tip instead spraying sideways cutting through the porcelain and right through the plastic losing all suction. I then made my own gun copying the dimensions of the plastic one, the water orifice was a problem, its kept wearing shooting a spray instead of a stream till I found some 1/8 inch brass plugs with an inverted V cut into the head off ebay, I drilled the .043 hole through the plug and have not had a problem since, the wear is at the bottom of the V and will never cause a can spray again. The focused stream of water through the porcelain tip creates a lot of suction , the blast cabinet drains through a 1/8 mesh screen into the 5 gallon bucket that has a pvc pipe at the top for the over flow. The bucket stays full of water to that point and the sand gets recycled back into the bucket to be sucked back into the gun any oil floats to the top and does not go back into the cabinet, The 3/4 inch pvc fitting at the bottom of the bucket has an orifice I made with about a 7/16 hole in a plug to keep the sand from filling the hose and clogging when turned off. The sand and water are sucked up to the gun with no agitation. The Key to getting the suction is making sure the stream of water is strait and right through the middle of the porcelain tip and that the tip is not worn where the hole is too big after the sand traveling through makes it bigger, you have to replace the porcelain piece when you start losing suction and your spray orifice has to maintain a steady strait stream as it wears which is accomplished by drilling the orifice at the point of the inverted V in the brass plug. I had hell keeping mine shootng strait before figuring this out as my tip would keep wearing and the stream would turn into a spray which quickly stops the suction making you think your sand lines are stopped up when actually your gun lost the suction it needs to keep the sand flowing.
What I have found is it is not having a lot of pressure that makes it work , it is the flow of sand, with a cheap 1750 green pressure washer from Harbor freight, mine works great. Buy the cheap gun off ebay for the smaller pressure washers buy extra tips use it till it quits spraying strait because the Chinese are not as smart to have designed an inverted V spray tip for reliability, and when it quits working copy the dimensions and size of the body from brass and make your own spray gun. The key is the gun as long as the spray tip keeps shooting a strait stream of water through a hole the size of the porcelain tips you will get good suction and not need an agitator
The 1750 electric pressure washer with mason sand is great for cleaning parts, any oil stays at the top of the 5 gallon bucket or drains off, it is great for cleaning aluminum without wearing it. If I am cleaning parts with carbon or baked on paint I want to remove I change to the bigger wet blasting gun made of brass off ebay and I use my 2800psi gas pressure washer to power it. It blasts off rust, paint and hard to remove things , but it has more power than you want for cleaning aluminum parts.

You should make a video of this set up as I thought of using a small pressure washer as well so you didn’t need air . You can use one of the wet blasting suction tubes off Amazon or eBay to pull in the aggregate and a shorty gun
I’ll hav etc re read you bucket set up because I can’t picture how you have it skimming off or removing water or do you recycle the water in through the washer again?
The flooring trim is called "cove base". Your story on how you got the cabinet is the same as mine. I bought one last night off of craigslist assembled and never used for $100. Thanks for sharing the parts list and the trial and errors that you made assembling yours. Awesome video .!
Thank you much!!!!
@@MotorcyclesandArt im hanging a clear plstic shower curtain along that whole door wall, screwed into top bolts of the cabinet..
I know what I’m doing with my old HF blasting cabinet, you are my hero!
This guy deserve a reward
Just a thought, if you use irrigation tubing in the bucket, there is a variety of fittings available (irrigation aisle at Home Depot), especially right angle ones to create the swirling you're looking for. Great video and thank you for posting and helping others.
Regarding my comment above, you may have to do the math and adjust the number of holes, based on the inner diameter of the fittings. Again, thumbs up yo you
Thanks for the great video
I hope to build my own soon, need it yesterday :-)
Fell asleep watching this
Like your content, dont need to see your intro 12 times throughout
I agree...a bit irritating. But, my guess is that he was either going to divided this up into several different videos, or he combined a few to make one long one. Hence, all the repeating intros.
@@drugyoursoulpart4 STFU and let the man say what we are all thinking. You don't like it? Move to China.
@@drugyoursoulpart4 shit isnt free ,you pay for internet ,you pay for the phone?
no need to see 42 intros. but thanks for the video
@@RanGer-498 stop wasting every ones air ya dickhead
Just found this.....Your presentation is well.......AWSOME!!!!!!!!!! Content 5 stars.
Someone tell his teacher that HE DID PAY ATTENTION IN MATH CLASS!
Thanks! Just finished modifying my HF blast cabinet, works great. Simple and inexpensive. I had everything but a foot valve and the mead I a blast gun plus misc hose and fittings. Highly recommended for a simple solution.
Great work!
@@MotorcyclesandArt If you are in So-cal I'll pay you to build one of these for me.
Lead singer of INXS lives!
I showed this video to my co-worker as I am in the process of putting this together and told him that he looks like Michael Hutchence, RIP. He agreed. ;)
Very entertaining.
Built this system with a few minor changes for my personal comfort. Works well.
Thanks again.
Mike C what size compressor do you run?
Love the hand motions at starting at around 29:16😂 bahahahajjaha
Finally i can start vapor blasting thanks for the vid
You got it!
@@MotorcyclesandArt Now i got it...yee haa..brilliant video.just goin for my check valve.cheers
thanks so much dude, i have 4 1970s two stroke + 2 - 4 bangers bikes (3 - s2's + 1 rd400 + 1 xl185 and a kz650) i bought 5 years ago and this is a must have for those projects, now the only problem is to not get carried away and pull them all down at once to blast them. haha
oh, what size compressor you are using?
Right on, man! 30 gal.
Good stuff! BTW urethane windshield sealant bonds much better than silicone. Dow U-418 HV (High Viscosity) is why I don't use "RTV" silicones for anything I do not specifically expect to peel free later. 3M Window Weld works too but usually costs more.
Wow. A vapor blasting vid that actually makes sense. Thanks!
Amazing instructional video! Thanks for going into such great detail. It really made a huge difference!
Nice video, you've convinced me to make one instead of buying one for 3k!!! Thanks
Get building!
Great details! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video. I like knowing the "why" to the design in case I want to change something.
Who knew the Guico cave man was a mechanic, This guy should have been in Bill and Ted's excellent Adventure. Saturday Night live or something. What a character. He would be a shoe in on Saturday night live as himself. Thanks for making me laugh, not at you but just at the character you are. Nothing bad about this guy, someone I would like to get stoned with. Coo[ Dude sums him up
Well, bring a joint over.
@@MotorcyclesandArt You are living proof weed does not destroy brain cells, it just makes you more creative. If I only lived closer I would have been there already.
Thanks for the invite, I figured you were cool or should I say chill.
Good job in laying everything out. Been in construction all my life and never saw a 6 gallon bucket. Lol
Apparently it's a popular size for brewing and baseballs/softball storage
@@Quocle603 was just going to say go to your local homebrew shop
Grainger has the 6 gallon.
Watching this again! Very educational, and very Bill Murray like.
This is good stuff!
Thank you very much for making this video. I just finished mine and I have to say this is one of the coolest things I've made. I tested it on some parts from my 1958 Dnepr and I was pretty amazed. I would add that I got the best results using 170-325 glass bead media vs the harbor freight glass beads as they were way too coarse. Overall fantastic build, cheers!
Awesome! Super stoked for you.
Haha, I only made it 2 min in at 2x speed and I had to subscribe to your channel
I like your style
I need to make space in my shop for one of these! Thanks for the inspirational DIY!
Go get it!
thank you for info
Thanks for the video, I definitely could use a cabinet like this in my shop, killer! Best video on a DIY!
Great video, thanks mate
Real good video
Sweet! Great approach and easy to understand. Super tip on the angled holes to circulate the slurry
Thanks for explaining in high af bro!
My dumb ass understood everything 10x over.
If anyone didn't understand ANY of this, dont procreate
No prob! Have a rad day.
I am building my own this winter! Grabbing a cabinet for 40 dollars!
You you crack me up. I appreciate your thought process.
Very direct approach. Lots of good information. I love it.
Perfect!
AWESOME VIDEO BROTHER!! THANK YOU!!👍👍👍✌️
Lol, Excellent instructional video. Genuine guy, what you see is what you get. Simple no frills design, perfect for the guy who might use it once a month (or more).
Hey man, if you are running a 7 mil nozzle, what CFM/PSI do I need to run? Thanks! Putting parts list together now and looking for a compressor bigger than the one I have now but I need to know how big I need to go?
@@darrynruzicka2883 He suggested 30-50 psi in another post. Hope that helps.
Correction: 30 gallon and 50 psi
Thank you for all the detailed informations ! It should have been a lot of work to do this video. Thanks for sharing !
You're a good teacher. Thanks man~~
Thats for the Video Chief! Totally doing it!!
Now this deserves and like and sub! Great video!
can you just put the hose at the bottom of bucket and let it push the water around, wouldnt that get the whirlpool effect?
That has some awesome power dude,Excellent stuff & thank you for your great video tutorials 👍 😎😎
No prob!
Best fucking video I've ever seen. Must start building tomorrow. Would start tonight but It's too late.
For being someone that dont care if we follow or not u tell us to follow alot😂 thanx for the great info tho 👍
cool project with simple and easy to understand information... thank you..
Thanks great job!
Thank you much!
Thank you man, you have taken the guess work out of the final parts of my cabinet and pump system. I like your work, stay safe....
Mr. Dunn, thank you, Sir.
Nice job on the vid, good to know that there are some details that need to be addressed. I like that bike you’re building in the background 👍
Great video. Ordered parts today. Thanks
Thank you. Great piece of work.
Thank you.
Bloody good video!!!! Thankyou very much!!! I'll be building one.
Should do add on video that shows the air side of this w the check valve installed , regulator etc .
Thanks, man, life is better, super awesome.
Stoked for you.
Great video, well done. Just used for the first time,works great.
Thanks
Stoked for you!
came for the cabinet info, stayed for the math class and subscribed as soon as he said he didn't care if I did or not hahahah
Six gallon bucket...get it!!
I like your style 😎 I'm subscribed before I even watch it 😆
Love how the audio keeps going out of sync... like watching a Godzilla movie! LOL. Cool info.... thanks for sharing. Glad you did the Math for us. Me and numbers DO NOT get along.
Or Bad KUFU video.
This is a great video, well done. can't stay must go and build one
It will make your life better.
Very cool ! Thanks for the help
Well damn now we all know what became of Jeff Spicolli. I never would of guessed this.
Good info and simple design for small application. Both dry and wet systems have there pro's and con's, i will say though using a proper mud/aggregator pump makes a world of difference but so does price tag haha
Awesome video. Subscribed keep it up
Thanks 'I'm sure this is going to make my life a bit better
about the calculating , verry impressive but if you put a ballvalve on the lower hose or both of them you can fiddle with the opening(s) of them untill it works
the one way valve on the airline is a good idea , i didnt used one and the waterpressure caused the water to backfeed through the airline and intoo the footswitch and leak out ontoo the floor every time i cut the air , after a while i was standing in about an inch of dirty water , the switch and eventually the airpressure regulator didnt liked that either
That frame and exhaust pipe in the background, yessssss.
Looks like an old Honda CT
90 or possibly Yamaha front end
flow rate depends on back pressure, not just diameter but also length of hose due to friction pressure
Bad ass bro! I love it video was a bit long but was very informative. Thanks for your time! New SUB! 👌🙌🏼
Awesome video man. Thanks!
Stoked it helped!
Thanks for this video and thanks for sharing the build! I’ll be building one in the future!
DONT SKIMP!! 😂 - everytime you said this
Great vid. Like your attitude. Best of Luck!
Thank you, Sir
How much is the pressure of the air. Thank you for your great job.
Looks like a landspeed bike in the background----
Awesome man!! Your a genius..
Hey dude awesome job, I'm going to start doing my vapor cabinet next week! Greetings from Mexico!
Right on, man!
Great video. Many thanks for posting. Subbed.
What do you use for regulation of the flow? Is there a trigger control on the gun or a foot pedal for the pump?
I would assume every thing shuts off at the same time, except for the foot pedal is the air shut off. Put the electrical stuff on a regular switch or even just a power bar strip. Nice
Like that cub steering triple tree man lol I see you
Great video and info 👍
Awesome info brother thanks for sharing it’s a great dustless blaster design I have everything but the cabinet lol this is gonna be an awesome addition to the shop thanks for sharing man
Get building!
Thanks man. Very detailed, clearly outlined. I have this same cabinet I bought from a guy for $75 who attempted to set it up for vapor blasting. He was only moderately successful. My plan was to see if I could make it work better but I was waffling if I even wanted to try. Now I’m inspired to follow your design. It may be spring or summer until I get to it, but I’m going to do it! Thanks again, great job!!! =)
thats awesome !!! gotta build one
Came out realy good quick need that
Build one!
Id like to see the polishing grit. Great tutorial and it works well. Im planning on building one this summer. Chasing that factory fresh cast look without paint.
You know what would be better than a 6 gallon plastic bucket over the long haul is a 30 quart turkey fryer pot. It's aluminum and will never get brittle and crack on you. What size air compressor do you recommend to keep up with this thing?
That is a great idea! I run at 60lb when polishing
How big of an air compressor do you need
It`s not about how big, it`s about the debit of air per minute. An decent compressor should give 5-600 liter/minute if you`re using for blasting.
I'd go for around 15 CFM @90 psi, the smaller ones kinda crap out and your cleaning slows way down. You can use a smaller one if that's what you have but you have to give them more time between sprays to keep the pressure above about 90, anything less pressure wise kinda loses its mojo
Thanks mate!! Get struck back in to that Salt Racer 👍☝️
You're welcome! Go get em!
Holy shit, love the video dude, I'm defo building one of these babies.
Get building!
Sweet .
Bro you are awesome
I thought I just saw a young Gord Downey
