Guys,
My grit blaster cabinet started as a Kenmore clothes dryer. I removed all the dryer workings and removed the front panel with the door opening. The box was rotated 90 degrees so the front of the machine then became the bottom, where the tapered catch bin was attached. I think I used metal panels from a refrigerator for the bin.. The cabinet is mounted on angle iron legs made from old bed rails. The former front panel with the access door was moved to the right side. There are two jelly jar incandescent lights inside the cabinet. The removeable side window is plexiglass and is covered with replaceable transparent sheet protectors, taped in place. A bead of silicone sealant assures a good seal. The blaster is a cheap portable unit sitting inside the cabinet, and it's manually filled by emptying the catch bin through the bottom drain plug. The gloves are from Harbor Freight, and the vacuum is from Ace Hardware. The pictures should answer most questions.
