Nothing on the truck this week - had to do some spring yard work.
But I did spend some time improving my blast cabinet.
Previously, I added four 100W LED bulbs, and a shop-vac-hookah-pot out of a 20L pail.
Today I tried to improve a common problem in the operation itself:
The cabinet has a tendency to blast in spurts. Blast... nothing... blast... nothing... I've found if you run a really large nozzle and run very fine abrasive, it's not too bad. But I followed a few videos on YouTube about improving the blast action.
A Floor Plate is attached to the bottom hinged trap door, add a 3" long 1" NPT nipple, a 1" Pipe T with one end capped (for drain), then reduce to 3/4" NPT into another Pipe T, which reduces to a small ball valve (I used 3/8") out the top, and reduced to a 1/2" Hose Barb to feed the gun.
