To wet to paint, and can hardly see the shop. What a storm!! So going to stay dry and play on the 'puter. Figured I'd show you a couple of things my son and I made to make life easier for us. Blasting the frame and body in the driveway was messy at best. So we decided to make a booth for the rest of the parts. I purchased some 1 1/4" pvc pipe and fittings and we made a knock-down two piece booth. We lined the pan with 9 mil black plastic and the body with 3 ml clear plastic held on with spring clamps.Now that we are enclosed I also fab'ed an air helmet that supplies air and keeps us cool. I've had this HF blaster for some years and have always had trouble with the media feed, having to shake the tank every two minutes. So we made a vibrator plate from odds and ends, and it works great now. The booth keeps the media loss next to nothing, and the clean-up is a snap. The last pic shows the both folded and put away until next use.
