JB's Blasting Cabinet mk2 now making mk3, other shed content!!!

Jellybelly you should start an exchange program for the rest of us.

I can do if you want anything doing, I'm already doing some bits for shughy

Well …….!

At lunch break I appear to have bought a powdercoating system and possibly aquired an oven, purely by accident of course!

Maybe I should rename this thread JB metal finishing solutions 

Will you do some finishing for me Jelly
I will give you a pack of jellies in exchange. This si because the last time i saw you your belly looked starved of Jellies and that is unacceptable        

Good job there mate…

Nice job. I was considering doing something like this myself. 

What would you say the blaster could get through attached to a 10cfm compressor? 

my original compressor was 9cfms and it did it fine, i just had tow wait every now and again to allow the compressor the catch up with me. but other than that it worked fine

i will warn you tho it is addictive

Haha yeh I thought it would be a nice summer project. Maybe a diy powder coat gun too :p

DIY powdercoat gun

Ah yeh looks good, I'm talking properly diy though, like this:

Just need to figure out a way to charge the powder! 

Now I'm all up for DIY ing but that is a mess 

Haha yeh. I would tidy his design up a lot. 
This doesn't seem bad, you get powder too. 
Powder Coating - Paints & Coatings

I'll stop clogging up your thread now :p keep it up! 

so it came the time to have a shed re arrange as thing were a mess!

so this is what ones side did look like



as you can see it's a right mess and not making use of the space very well so a bit of money and effort later



i have finially mounted my vice after 3 years, so happy right now!!!

also i didn't relise i had so many 1/2 tins of things on the shelf



also the mk2 sand blasting cabinet is in the bin! but all the parts were kept



mk3 is now in progress!

Nice little shed JB. Every man should have to escape to from the wife

This is all getting very serious now mate

You ordered your powder coating stuff? A mate offered me a "complete powder coating outfit" today, not sure what that entales mind.

yea powdercoater is order should be here this/next week

just got to blag an oven off my uncle

Just use the one in the kitchen when the Mrs isn't looking  

yea could do but it like my balls attached!

we have 3 ovens at work we haven't used for a long time and been toying with getting rid, so im going to give him a nudge a see if i can have one

What was up with the MK2 cabinet?

nothing major wrong

it was a little small a rocker cover was the largest thing i managed to do

it wasn't a complete seal around the lid, hardly leaked but not perfect

the vision panel wasn't good, the size of the box restricted what you could do with it so decided on a new design

all in all it was successful and a good idea but could be improved, so i have done

so the mk3 cabinet is 99% finished

total extra cost £32 on timber from B&Q but so happy with it, should be the business

so the size altho looks bit is no bigger in floor space than the RUB (really useful box) but just taller



fits like a peech in the space, raw mdf form

then removed and the holes cut in the front to take the gloves and extraction, and undercoated (trying to use my 1/2 tins up)



had 1/2 tin of red so thought let do it



then this evening i mounted the door and everything else, looks the business





2 lights installed, outdoor ones that were in the RUB just needed some new wires



underside of the perspex i gone for some asitate again to protect the perspex, i will get a peice of glass eventually but this will do for now
