Building my free 32 x 50 garage

I picked up an old industrial sandblaster from my friends dad tonight. He was a truck driver for a metal manufacturer, and he brought home one of their blaster a a few years ago when they got all new. He has only used it once, and his wife wanted it gone so she could put a refrigerator where it was setting. I told them I would get it after my floors got done, so I wouldn't have to move it extra times. Now I just need to figure out where I want to put it, and decide if I am going to clean it and paint it before I use it.

 

Lol, I had the same thought. I wouldn't take much effort to sand it and paint it. I also have to come up with a vac system for it, new gloves,and maybe change the light situation. I have been waiting to pick it up until after the floors were done. ( he gave it to me almost a year ago).and I have been waiting to get the sandblaster installed, or at least figure out where it will be going, so I can start ruining air compressor lines where the need to go.

 

Thanks!

Your a little far away, but I'm installing a new kitchen in a sorority house tomorrow, so there will be more cabinets at the end of the driveway soon! I'm sanding the Camaro down to get it ready for paint, but I will be sanding the blaster down and getting it painted next. I am also going to pick up a filter setup for it.

 

I went to a huge outdoor art fair last week with my wife. Out of 6 hours of walking, there was only one car related artist there. And he had a Camaro sign, so I bought it for the shop. I haven't hung it yet.

 

I'm getting pretty excited, the Camaro goes to the painter tomorrow. If you haven't checked out my build thread, I have it all sanded down and ready to go.

 

My wife had a project to work on last night, so I went out to the shop after the kids went to bed and got it all sanded and preped for paint. This afternoon, I primed it and painted it. I didn't get any pictures of it primed.

Now I need to order a vacuum, and gloves for it, and get some air to it so I can use it!
