I used a rubber made container to make a sandblasting box.
I used a Rubbermaid container with a rubber gasket and clasps.
Large PVC connector.
Spray foam
Small furnace vent filters
And long rubber gloves. They don’t need to be as long as I used.
There are higher quality videos of the same thing but I had to do this fast and hey, my channel needs content. So here is my not pretty but effective version.
Stupid simple and very effective. That's exactly what I was looking for. It's great because your box is only limited by the plastic container size you can find.
Ingenious and you gave me an idea on how to safely handle materials like lead.
They're called a "closet flange"...as in "wash closet" aka toilet flange. It's used to mount the foot of a toilet bowl to the floor to make your waste water connection.
Love it! Not only information, but entertaining! Thanks!
A little Monday morning quarterbacking for you a year later… If you if you have a heat gun, gently heat the area you’re going to drill or cut on the plastic tote & your knife will slice through it like butter.
😂😂 great video 🤙🏼
Yeah !!! Why not. As a proof of concept it does the job and if we need it more than we think or if it need more features or changes we can make anther one with confidence. Great video. Also nice to see the incidents when choosing the wrong tool for the jobs ... so we don't need to find out the hard way as well !!! Thanks!
Simple and effective thanks
Easy way to cut through thin plastic like that if you don't have a soldering iron: Mark your cut and then heat up a razor blade with a torch/lighter until it's red hot, you'll be able to cut through it like butter.
I subscribed very recently after discovering your channel; with a pending blasting job i will tale inspiration from you!
Awesome idea. Works great. 😊👍
I'm so glad that you made this video because I was curious if this was possible.
Super cool.....just what idea I needed! Thanks
Thanks for your easy inexpensive idea.
Good idea!
good idea and cheap i love it 👏👏👍
Brilliant!
I love your channel!
Thank you!
You say it's not pretty but hey it works so wot the heck I think it's cool well done and many thanks for sharing this with us 👍👍👍👍✌✌
Awesome!
This is great!
5:03 Great idea, man. I'm getting a sandblasting gun today or tomorrow and this is awesome, quick, easy and possible. Thanks for the idea.
Not many people get a thumbs up from me. You are one of them
Awesome man
Awesome! Thanks! 👋🇨🇦
Another banger! Nice work sir. As you learned there's only one way to learn why you don't use drills or saws on that stuff. Ask me how I know. Also a couple things that will stick to that plastic are Gaffers Tape (like duct tape but it actually works) and that silver foil tape. The adhesive is crazy sticky, my dad calls it '100 Mile an Hour Tape'. Not ashamed to say we installed a windshield with it once. And since this is your channel and not mine I would like to say that I highly recommend this product for installing windshields.
Oh I have seen that silver tape. Yeah that is super strong!
I suffer everytime the plastic cracked on ya, I've destroyed so many things that way. But all that heartache was not wasted. Tip: Run the drill backwards, heat and friction makes super nice holes 👍
1:10 - I bet this wouldn't have happened in the summer. I learned that lesson a couple of winters ago when I ordered six cases of clear totes. Every sealed box had at least one shattered tote inside by the time UPS got them here. Thoroughly enjoying your channel, BTW.
Thanks! I think your right. Plastic is so brittle when it’s cold.
I hard feel ya on the cracks. Tried to do something similar and cracked every hole I tried to drill. And that was in the summer!
Is realy good .. U give good ideal tky buddy love it end susb.
Thx man
Thanks!
thanks!👍
Love it! I would’ve built a heater first though. No way I can work if I can see my breath 😆
Good guy
for a few time useage it would work for me, nice going .
Nice! There are many other toilet closet flanges and rings one could use for making this. Rings inside could be used to bolt to the outside flange or vice versa. This video is giving me a great place to start on mine. Thank you #Lundgrenbronzestudios !
Nice
What model/make sandblasting unit do you have? Do you like it?
I love this kind of thing. If you had put those pvc flange things so that they were sticking OUT of the box, you could have used hose clamps to just clamp them to the flange. That way, they are replaceable. Also, one of those silly Step-bit drill bits would have kept your box from cracking when you drilled it.
good vid buddy. perfect for small tools, i just inherited my great grands tools. can you reuse the sand?
You can. It stays in the bottom of the container and you can dump it back into your sand blaster. This set up works for a little bit of sandblasting. But eventually the plastic gets pretty abraded and cloudy.
Thank you! Now I know what not to do.
Commenting to help the algorithm
Imagine getting stuck while the door bell rings
😆
I'm thinking stretching glove over the flange inside the box, also maybe a heppa filter behind your main pre-filter, and gasket on lid, bolting flange for extra support? Don't you just love the "know-it-all" types critiqing your work -just think of it as being possibly constructive -take what you think is good and dam the torpedos. What is important is every red-blooded male needs a descent sandblaster and now you got one -nice!
I think a lot of comments are just personalizing and building upon what they see, more than critiquing. It's giving me a place to start! I'm thinking along the lines of your glove and flange idea. One could even use a flange on the inside and outside and bolt them together, or cut some flat stock into circles. There may be another plumbing product that would work, too.
Exactly. This saved me significant trial and error; not that I won't have plenty of that going forward. "Wisdom is learning from the mistakes of others"... I need something to handle larger items, but this shows the way!@@cocarr1
You could have just pre-dilled holes for the screws
Should of used some ec6000 and glued them down! Let it dry and wala
Cauterize the wound 😂 What kind of sandblaster? You should put an affiliate link in the comments...😊
Put your drill in reverse when drilling through plastic like that. Should work out better for ya ;)
Excellent. Ugly, but useful, just like me!
looks like toilet flanges
I think you’re right.
que manera mas chapuza de hacerlo jajaja.
Toilet pvc flanges 😂 and they only cause cancer in California haha
Good thing I used new PVC pipe then 😆
He sure is not a designer or a carpenter, should have used clamp to hold the grove, and a hole saw to drill the hole for the toilet closet PVC.😖
Because everyone has a hole saw.
Knock it off with the stupid comments. Be grateful anyone posted squat for you to look at. This is hella cheap and quick and what a lot of people look for.
I just bought a sandblaster and medium at harbour freight to do my stairs. Going to try this with a hole cut out in the bottom!
