Morning everyone, as some of you know I have been doing my own sandblasting of my parts, and was getting frustrated with being limited to small parts. Anyway I made my own cabinet which is quite a bit larger, which allows me to do some good sized pieces. Cabinet is 51"W X 22"H X 2O" D. While building the cabinet, I thought that I should see if there is a need for any of our members on here, especially the Canadian ones that need parts media blasted, either big or small.
I would like to thank Leanna(CudaChick1968) for her advice, lucky me got to speak to her on the phone to discuss this, and from our conversation she offered me nothing but full support and advice. I can tell you that she is the "salt of the earth" and we as FABO members are lucky to have her here with us. :love4: This "venture" of mine is by no means meant as competition (like I could be competition anyway!! LOL). But it is more of a service I would like to offer to our Canadian members where shipping the parts to be blasted just doesnt make sense to send to Leanna, as well as having to deal with broker and shipping bs. Larger parts can be shipped via Greyhound and smaller ones can be shipped however you want to ship.
I have used both sand and recycled glass on my parts that I have blasted and they have turned out really well. I plan on "experimenting" with more of my own parts to gain both more knowledge and experience. Currently I have 2 $hitty paying p/t jobs, while I search for a job related to my college education, so hopefully this will also help me pay some of the bills, while at the same time providing me with some "therapy" as my resto has some what stalled due to lack of $$. I plan on posting pics of what I have blasted, as well as my cabinet build, but am just putting the final cosmetic tweaks on the cabinet. I also want to thank Mike (2darts) who is doing some stickers for me, I spoke with him on the phone as well and is an awesome guy that is more than willing and eager to do some stickers for the cabinet!!:thumbrig:
Again, thanks leanna for the time on the phone(I was only wearing boxers at the time) LOL. I look forward to and appreciate any inquiries. I will update this thread with my cabinet and parts pics soon. If there are any members with inquiries, feel free to email me, pm me or give me a call. Here is a pic of the prototype for the cabinet, lemme know you think.
Thanks
