![]() I'll probably used some of the suggestions above when I get it together. I've got one in the box that I bought on sale with a coupon last month. The mods I made cost me very little as I had most of them in my pile of junk I keep around here because I might just be able to re-purpose it someday. No, it's basically a good cabinet for the hobbyist. So you might wonder if I think the cabinet is a piece of junk. It seems to help separate some of the sand from the air before it enters the vacuum hose. The gray thing behind the spot light is a baffle that was installed last year. It has made a big difference on the amount of moisture entering the sand. I added a moisture separator on the side. Someday I will have to make some internal mods to it so that it will actually separate the dust from the air. I tried routing the dust through it before it enters the upper vacuum but it did not settle the dust as I had anticipated. The bottom vacuum is just a case with no motor. The Craftsman vacuum is little strong for this application but really keeps the cabinet clear of dust. I decided to make a bottom shelf which come in handy for storing the blast media off the floor. I built a 1 inch square tube frame to attach the casters to. The wiring is certainly not up to code but works well. I had this old switch box laying around so I installed a simple switch in it. Spot lights I robbed from an old double flood light system. It's mobility makes it easier to clean up the mess it makes all around it. I also made a floor and installed some casters. I removed all of the rubber seals it came with during initial assembly and used clear silicone instead. I also replaced the window with a pain of glass cut by the local glass shop for less than 10 bucks. I had to replace the gloves with a better set from Northern tool or HP tools (I can't remember which). ![]() I still have not replaced the gun but will do that soon. Here is how I solved the poor lighting problem and some other deficiencies.
