A blast cabnet stand 2x4s around the top with a plywood top and 2x4 legs, all bolted together. The two rear legs have wheels on them so I can easly move it out into the driveway for use. Keeps the dust out of the garage even with a vac on it. Also have a 50 foot line from my compressor so I don't have to drag it out as well.

Room underneath for my shop vac.

Think I will do the same thing for my table saw and free up a bit of space under it as well.

You did bolt the sand blast cabinet to the table, I hope!
 
No, still thinking on that as it is nice to be able to tip it to get the sand back to the correct end. Was thinking about a back and half sides to keep it in place. Would use a 1x4.
 
Hinge the top at the back and put a latch on the front, THEN bolt it down. Best of both worlds
 
Looks good.
 
By golly I bet a bunjee cord would work just fine. Will try in the morning.
 
Jack,
I don't see your bong for the Blast Cabinet. One of those 2 Gallon mini shop vacs really works well to suck the dust into the 5 gallon pickle bucket rather than quickly clogging the filter on the shop vac.

I wouldn't trust it....how hard can it be to run some bolts through the blaster's legs & the cabinet?
 
strikes me a fella with a freshly restored BE doesn't need a blast cabinet, 'less of course he was thinkin of a companion or a fresh project. Anything you need to tell us Jack?

Well, shuffels foot, I got these parts left over that I am blasting, painting and putting on eBay. Hay, it just goes to Tony for spares and such at this point. You know, paypal to paypal. In fact I got some good stuff on eBay for cheep. Try the vendor from Niceville. Some under Bugeye some under Sprite Midget.

But then little jobs keep me out of trouble. I did do all the lights on the outside of the house. Used Bugeye black, hehe,they look good as new and prob saved $150 or at least put off the expense for a few years.
 
Jack,

You don't happen to have a front exhaust pipe support bracket(bell housing to front exhaust pipe) and clamp in your pile of ebay parts, do you?

No I don't and they are tough to find. Keep an eye on ebay, one will turn up.

course not too hard to make one either if you only care about function.
