Thanks for the nice comments guys!! Here is the biggest problem. The sandblaster is where i work at, its a very powerful one with coarse sand. I just dont think i could get away withmaking very many before they would shut me down. However, i do have a portable sandblaster at home, havent tried it yet on something like this yet, but it would be very messy, no cabinet, and a waste of sand. mabey in the future. Looking forward to meeting and shooting the breeze with many of you in a couple of weeks. should be a good time!!
