I got some glass bead (80grit) at Harbor Freight. You will really like it. I got my little blaster gun there too but its a bit cumbersome.
Your progress is great, sometimes its good to take a break.

When I was just out of high school I worked for a guy that owned the local auto parts store / welding supply store / machine shop and he taught me how to do some of the machine work as I worked there for a while. He bought a glass bead blaster while I was working there. Probably one of the first on the market over 40 years ago, so I got to do a lot of bead blasting back then and I wanted one real back. I had a small cabinet years ago but it is long gone. When I started on this truck I knew I would have to get me another one eventually. They're great for cleaning up smaller parts. I have one of those blaster guns I bought awhile back and tried it a couple of times without a cabinet. Too messy.
