Love the upgrade phill your editing is on point in this video keep up your awesomeness 👊🏽
Thank you! Super appreciate the support and your time. Just awesome 🙌🏼🙇🏻
What an awesome video Chop! Always a joy to see you and your tools hard at work with a touch of ingenuity!🔥🙌
ArtMetalFab Thank you Chris. Thank you for watching. The support is super appreciated. 🙌🏼🙇🏻
This was awesome! Love blast cabinet work! Love that manifold idea! Making it a roller is a must! Nice work!
Thanks man! Had to do it. Especially after seeing all you got out of yours.
Excellent video man! Love the energy, editing and the invaders!
Hahahaha! Hell yeah man!!! Thank you. Gotta keep it fun. People are too damn serious about this stuff. 🙌🏼🙇🏻
Very nice video House of Chop. This is the first video of yours I have seen and you do very nice work. I shall poke around a bit and look for more good videos. Thank you!
Just found your channel searching for blasting cabinet mods. Well, you now have another subscriber, from down under in Australia. I knew I would be subscribing only a few minutes in, when you cleaned your steel before welding it. Plus, you're a car guy!! looking forward to a binge of your videos this evening with a cold beverage and some salty snacks......
Thank you Martin! Seriously appreciate the sub and the generous words. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out 🙌🏼
Rick Bishop of Rick’s Welding and Fabrication sent me. I dig the creativity, the positive attitude and that pickup!
andrew smarowsky Awesome! Rick is the man! I appreciate the generous words and you taking some time out if your day. 🙌🏼🙇🏻
That truck is awesome. I wanted one since I was really young. I was just thinking about it recently I’ve owned it for 16 years now! Damn time flies. I’m getting ready to pull it apart and give it a good going over and fresh paint. 🔥👍🏼🔥
@@HouseofChop don't blink! 🤓 I'm sure everyone is excited to see the progress of everything, including the sweet truck! Thanks for taking the time Andrew! 😊🙃 Also, check out Chops Chevelle.. its a beauty 😍 ✨
More process?!?! Hell yeah you showed more process! I could smell that TIG smoke all the way up here in Michigan! Nice work buddy.
That’s awesome Bernie!!! Thank you for watching and commenting. I hope it wasn’t too much I just trying to answer the call of the people!!! 😁🙌🏼
GREAT VIDEO! Love all of the detail!
Thank you! Seriously appreciate your time and words. Delighted to hear you enjoyed it 🙌🏼🙇🏻
If its nice enough outside, turn your water hose onto mist, then hydrate the air around you, before you dust. A tint professional taught me this trick. The water mist acts as a catch, and reduces airborne particulates. Should apply to various scenarios. Hope this helps someone 🙏 🙂
That’s an awesome tip Rick thank you 🔥👍🏼🔥
Super appreciate you watching and commenting 🙌🏼🙇🏻
@@HouseofChop back in action 🎬 😎
Feverish fashion 🤣
Awesome video , great idea on that cross draft idea and increased efficiency of the whole thing on wheels is brilliant. Also the magbrake is super cool 👍👏
Mark's engineering Thank you Mark! Super appreciate your endless support. That cross draft exceeded my expectations. I had real concerns it might just make the air tumble and vortex up but you can actually watch it pull the dust away from the viewing area. Got away with the farm engineering one more time. 😁
@@HouseofChop looks like NASA grade farm engineering 💪👍
🙇🏻🙌🏼
So, i got a B60 few month ago and been playing with it. If you want less dust try steel grit media. It is heavy so it falls down fast and the only dust you have is the crap you blasted off; not the abrasive itself. Also, that gun comes with 1/8th jet, going up will speed things up if you have the compressor hp for it.
Great modifications. Stagnating air within the chamber is the leading cause to the visibility issue. Extra vacuum pulling the air out quicker always helps!
Chop glad to see other video this upgrade definitely turned out very well and helpfull keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend weld on can't wait to see ur next video
Thank you Jared! It was one I wanted to do for a long time. I believe the plasma table will be next. Appreciate you tuning in and taking the time to comment. 🙌🏼🙇🏻
House of Chop ur very welcome my friend
Another awesome video from the man himself. Got me wanting to modify my cabinet now.... hmmmmmmmm
Keep it up Phil!!!
Thank you!!!! Always appreciate the support! I think it’s time to cut that cabinet up!!! 🤣🙌🏼
Loves me a bit of a grinder solo........ space invader 👾 overlays, cutaway mug shots 🤣🤣🤣 great little upgrade project Philip! Always a pleasure man 👊🏻👊🏻🔥
Man Cave Makings Oh I practice the grinder every time I weld!!! 🤣🙌🏼
Thank you for watching sir!!! Always appreciate your time and input. 🙌🏼🙇🏻
Hey Chop I stumbled across this vid while I was looking for a media blaster for my school. Just thought it was funny running across one of your vids. Great vid by the way.
What’s up Eric!!! That’s hysterical you stumbled into one of my videos. Appreciate the generous words thank you! I had a blast making this one. Hope all is well.
I appreciate the bend order tip! I’ve used card stock for years to build templates for complex parts but never considered slapping it in the brake.
That’s awesome! It’s the only way I know how not to screw it up.
Appreciate you watching and taking a moment to comment. 🙌🏼🙇🏻
Awesome work as always, my best upgrade to my old jobs blast cabinet was adding 3 12v vibrating motors to the tub. It shakes the media just enough to keep the feed tube always buried. Used a cheap power supply to run them and some bright led lights.
Appreciate that Damien! That sounds like an awesome upgrade. This Eastwood redesign with the deep V hopper has never let me down but my understanding is the older units and some of the other brands suffer to get the material where it picks up. No doubt you fix would be spot on in that environment 🔥👍🏼🔥
Loved this video, really well done. I recently have been looking at sand blasting cabinets and I’m hesitant since in my past experiences they all seam to have their annoyances.
Thank you Justin. At the price point, it's been great.
Really great job. I'm in the market to add a blaster to the garage shop in order to press on with two MGB, (British car), restorations at the same time. Your idea of moving the vac tube was great. I need to press things against the wall too. Also, I'm vindicated by you putting it on wheels!! My wife thinks I'm nuts putting everything on wheels, but when she saw you outside in the dust cloud it all became clear!! It's getting cooler here in Holland, Mi so time to order the cabinet! Outstanding job!!
Thank you! I appreciate the view and the generous words. I frequently say, everything goes on wheels in the next shop. The ability to reconfigure the space and the convenience of taking things outside when need be is just too great. Good luck with the MGB restorations! Awesome little cars! 🔥👍🏼🔥
The only thing I would add now is a metering valve at the bottom. Only $40, easy to install, works WAY better than a pickup tube, and lets you run WAY less media at any given time. Great build!!!
Thank you for the generous words. Appreciate the heads up on the metering valve. Definitely going to upgrade to one in the future. 🔥👍🏼🔥
I built my own bottom feed from galvanized and pvc plumbing parts and adapted it to the bottom of my modified horrible fright cabinet. It works much better than the pickup tube.
I built my own bottom feed from galvanized and pvc plumbing parts and adapted it to the bottom of my modified horrible fright cabinet. It looks like the mods here worked. Right now, my vacuum is a shop vac with a drywall filter bag and a 5 gal bucket lid separator (not the tall funnel type, but low profile) to get the heavy stuff. It might be time for an upgrade to that.
I'm used to blasting faster with the skat blast 20-25 cfm tips and gun, but I have an old westinghouse air brake company pump on my compressor which looks about like a harley engine sitting on top of the tank. It is pressure lubricated with a real 5hp motor so it makes 20 cfm and sounds like an average quietish pickup idling vs. a screaming compressor. If only I had a silent/compact compressor that put out this much air, but this one fits my needs very well.
These videos are giving me ideas for my shop as I have a 4x8 plasma table that I built myself and I have started powder coating my finished parts vs. using spray paint. I was a building painter for many years and could spray auto paint, but it is way too expensive and temperamental for a home shop and even for some commercial shops. There are many options for colors and types of finish. Heck, I even powder coat my cast bullets after they come out of the automated bullet casting machine that I built. After powder coating, they go through my automated sizing machine. That is actually how I first used powder coating, but I just tumbled the bullets in a plastic container to coat them with powder.
Great videos, thanks for all the ideas.
A narrow slot(s) on the right side wall to provide an air wash across glass would help improve visibility. Parallel with the top and about an inch down from the corner break. You could close the rear vent completely. A cyclonic dust separator inline between the cabinet and vacuum will keep airflow high and reduce filter blockage and cleaning. Other than a bottom feed regulator for abrasive, similar to the mod for the Harbor Freight blast cabinet, to eliminate the siphon tube, that's all I would change at this point. I like the vacuum manifold and will definitely use that idea!
That grinder solo 😂😂👍🏼
Are we welding or are we grinding??? With the practice I have poping off a few solos is second nature! 🤣🙌🏼
super cool video man.
Thank you! 🙌🏼🙇🏻
I really admire this upgrade I did. I want to do something similar with my machine
Glad the video was helpful
What would I have done differently.... powdercoat the parts you installed. Other than that... amazing upgrades. Always a treat to watch one of your videos. Makes me want to better videos.
ManCraftingTM That powder would have sent it over the top! I must get better at Mancrafting! 😁
Thank you for the kind words Chad and don’t sell yourself short your videos are great and you have a much larger subscriber base. You are no doubt doing something right. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Hahaha might have know your would say that Chad!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
Man Cave Makings This guy is trying to powder coat the world! 🤣
Man Cave Makings what can I say. 🤣
House of Chop bit Chad will want to paint it orange.......not sure that’s on brand! 🤣🤣
Too many ads. It’s like you expect to be paid for spending countless hours making and editing videos.... 😉 I kid I kid! Awesome video Phil! And the ads are worth it! I can’t believe that 106 year old lady has a black belt! 😂
ShowMeThePony HAHAHAHA!!! Yes I’m such a jerk!!! I haven’t seen the old lady black belt. Now I’m gonna have yo watch my own ads. 😁🤣
Quality video my friend, I always pick up tips and idea's 👌editing and work ethics on point. My only criticism would be your 1st grind solo was slightly better than the 2nd one 😂👍
Darrell Olsen Hahahaha! Yeah I have to agree the second solo fell short. I guess this one will never be considered my November Rain. 🤣
Something to work toward! 🤣😂🤣
Thank you for your endless support and kind words Darrell. 🙌🏼🙇🏻
Glad to see your centre punch still going strong 😉👍 and yeah, maybe try the wah-wah peddle on your next solo 🤘😂
Darrell Olsen The wha!!! That’s what I needed!!!! 🤣🙌🏼
Hey Phil, great job. So great in fact I'm following along in your foot steps. First I'll offer a couple of suggestions. I have been blasting with a small bench top blast cabinet for several years. I have the Harbor Freight branded media recovery setup which is identical to the Eastwood one you have. That filter has always been the biggest headache. It plugs up real quick and is horrible to clean. So first suggestion, no matter what others say, get a Dust Deputy. It keeps so much of the dust out of the filter it will extend your filter cleanups double or triple the amount of time between cleanouts. Second thing, those filters are very expensive to replace. I found the identical ones on Ebay for $40 ea. shipped. I bought 2 so now I can swap them out quickly and not need to stop in the middle of a project. Third, I found some shop vac filter filter bags at Harbor Freight for less than $5 for 3. It's a tight fit but they will fit over the dust collector filter I takes 1 1/2 bags per filter so you get enough to do 2 filters for $5. These keep that fine dust from ever even getting to the pleats in the filter and makes clean out a breeze. I can also can tell no difference in the amount of suction with these bags on the filter. Finally, because of you, I bought an Eastwood B60. I have it together but haven't got everything hooked up yet. I also loved your idea for the collector manifold so last week I ordered a Langmuir Crossfire Pro using your link and code. However, apparently it won't be shipped until sometime in May. I need to get blasting, got 2 projects going, '62 Impala and '64 Chevelle. I need to somehow get that manifold. Can we talk?
Yes!! Huge fan of the ‘64 Chevelle absolutely one my favorites and you can never go wrong with a ‘62 Impala. I’m about to dig into my 66 C10 that can been seen in many of these videos.
Really appreciate the tips on the eBay filters and the filter bags. I’ll have to give them a look because as you said the cost of those filters is absolutely crazy. I didn’t have time for it in the video but I have a very similar product to the Dust Deputy on mine. The Dust Stopper has actually done wonders to save some of the loss of suction. The clean out you saw here was from months of use. Perhaps with the filter bags you suggested I’d have a real winner here.
CONGRATS on the Crossfire pro. That’s just a stellar unit. Let me tell you those tables open doors! If I had the space I’d definitely make the upgrade to the pro.
As for the manifold strangely you are the second request this week. I currently have the table shut down because I’m in the middle of shooting another video but the next time I have it fired up I’m going to batch out a few and get them up on my website: thehouseofchop.com
If you have any questions on the B60 don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ve been super happy with it.
If by any chance you are on Instagram I’m more easily reached over there @house.of.chop
We added an in line air vibrator to the collector to help keep no voids in sand.
That’s a great idea. I haven’t had much issue with voids but I wonder if it is because this is their revised model from the early cabinets. Seems other people have issues with the media getting picked up.
So... Who's modified/changed the lid latches on their Eastwood cabinet? The springs keep popping out of mine, and I've about had it. Considered using rubber latches like on a Jeep hood or a Yeti cooler, but was wondering what other people have done.
Great video! Loved the mods. The first thing I did to mine was change the light to a larger, LED version, and change the switch to a metal outlet box and added a duplex outlet and a light switch. Now I just hit the switch and the vacuum and light come on. (Still can't see, though. LOL)
Had to sub i am looking for a vacuum for my blast cabinet. I have seen how yours work. Will be ordering one.
Thank you
Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for watching! Seriously appreciate the sub. Delighted to read you got the information you needed. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Damn, you've got some nice toys. Love the workbench. Great upgrades, you need to market and sell the manifold.
Thank you. I appreciate you taking a moment to leave a comment. The manifold definitely helped but it didn’t need to be so complex. It’s pretty easy to bend one up over the end of a bench and get equal results.
I think you did a great job with the manifold but the only catch 22 of setting the original blue top piece at a 90 degree angle instead of 45 like it was previously is that the blast media is going to collect on top but it's an easy problem to solve. I just put a second airline in the cabinet to blow parts off and I just shoot the edges with the air only while i am blowing stuff off. Great build though and love your shop setup. If you didnt want to go that far you can also just hit it with your blast air and clear that edge with just a little media left afterwards.
I like that second air line idea! 😉🙌🏼
How did you manage to get the grate out of the cabinet?
Im making one of those shields for my blast cab also. I think maybe some air intake near the glass to clear the dust up top.
Nice!!! Let me know how it works out.
1st vehicle i owned was a short bed 66 chevy truck fleet side,im almost 50 and still miss it
They are awesome trucks. Can’t beat that styling. This one is about to be ripped apart for a total restoration and update.
Omg what's that hole puncher!!! 🙌🏼. Also, I modify everything too lol
It’s a knock out punch. Super useful and efficient for making clean holes where you wouldn’t want to create a bunch of metal shards. Thank you for watching and commenting Carla!!! 🙌🏼🙇🏻
@@HouseofChop awww nice thank you! I'll look into it! Anytime Chop!
I haven’t had nearly as much success with my blast cabinet, yet I’ve done a ton of upgrades to it. I’m down to trying to modify & improve all areas from fittings on down the line. I’m about at the end of the rope with a poorly running unit.
Hate to read that. What are you doing to clean up the air before it hits the cabinet? That air needs to be super dry and free of any oils. Anything in the air stream and performance goes down considerably.
Hi, do you have a link to the metal sanding table you used, also for the bending brake!
I made the table. Video here: czcams.com/video/G2OJ4EqEFa8/video.html
Link for the brake is in the description of this video: czcams.com/video/E5Qpdf2kyTk/video.html
Cool vid. What is the hydraulic die hole punch rig called? Never saw one. Thanks!
Thank you. Appreciate the kind words. The hydraulic rig is called a knock out punch. Usually used in electrical work for punching holes in boxes. They can get expensive but the one you saw in the video is a inexpensive harbor freight unit. I’ve had it for years now and it has yet to fail me
Could I buy the piece of steel you used to modify the vaccum? As I don’t have a cutter or welder....yet lol. Awesome video
Metering valve i installed on the trap door of my blast cabinet works way better than the suction tube it had
Hell yeah! No doubt that’s the better way to go. I’ve been looking at those. I think the next time I do a clean out it’s time for another upgrade.
What is the punch tool you used to put the holes in the side? Not the center punch but the larger holes.
It’s called a knock out punch. Commonly used in electrical work. That set is a inexpensive one from Harbor Freight
Is there a good way to improve the lighting? I've noticed shadows on the from of object since light is at the back of the cabinet. Thanks
You could put a light anywhere you wanted in there. It would be super easy but I will say in person I’ve never had issues with the lighting. It’s been plenty bright I believe the camera was making it look darker than it actually is.
Have you considered trying a metering valve over the siphon tube? I have a Harbor Freight cabinet with metering valve and I can use just a few cups of media and change out for another grit in less than 5 minutes. I'd like to upgrade to the Eastwood cabinet I just haven't seen one with a metering valve.
It is definitely on my list of future upgrades. Can’t deny the benefits of a metering valve over the stock tube style.
Your very skillful 👍
Thank you! Appreciate the generous words 🙌🏼
Great video, a couple of things I have recently done, 1. Powder coat the inside white, 2. High output LED flood light, and 3, removed the glass, welded studs for glass mounts for faster glass swaps, then thin piece of plexy, new glass, then plexy sandwitch and change the plexy out every couple of jobs. That said, the large vent in the rear right (looking into yours) is it open to the outside? Mine is closed, with the shop vac dust collector it is almost dustless inside the box with use.
Those sound like great upgrades. I’ve been contemplating getting some more light in there. The vent on the back is about 1/3-1/2 open on mine and it seems to flow best there and keep the dust down.
@@HouseofChop I'll try to send you a couple of pictures.
Hello from chicago, what kind of air compressor you running you B60 I have the same one but I’m having problems on running mines with my 60gal husky it doesn’t keep up the the blast cabinet, hope to hear back from you thanks ..
Eastwood QST 30/60.
Thanks
The best part of these excellent videos is the funky sound track. It's where a 70's cop show car chase scene meets a funky cheap porn sound track. JUST LOVE IT!
Hell yeah G Man! It’s tough to find people who share my appreciation of this unique cross section of music. You made my day brother
@@HouseofChop Happy to hear this. You know, you sure look like your having a blast in your videos. That's the way to do it! Btw, your Schwarzenegger isn't half bad. In fact, the more I drink, and if I close my eyes, i'd swear you were him...lol Hey, i'm currently building an Eastwood B60 right now. I'm making a few mods that you suggested. Also, some additional mods from the guys who build up the Harbor Freight cabinets to make them work better. For example: making it a gravity feed, and adding a dust deputy (huge upgrade). Also, relocating the air line to underneath so it's out of the way. I have a 60 gallon Quincy 5hp compressor in my shop. It flows a little over 15 cfm. Also, 1/2 inch air lines. I'm hoping this things gonna blast like a mother! I watched your other video where you rolled the B60 outside and were blowing insane amount of media, which looked like soda? out of your Eastwood filter. Here's a suggestion: consider adding a Dust Deputy to your rig. It will catch all of your media and keep your filter super clean. It's unbelievable. Check out this video and you'll see what I mean - Note: Forward about 2 minutes in. czcams.com/video/P0Z2WBicBXA/video.html I can't wait to get my blast cabinet working. I'm working on adding casters right now. Also, I am considering buying this cool upgraded gun that is supposed to be twice as efficient to my build. It's a little pricey but super cool (so we'll see). This guy builds a wicked vapor blast cabinet - czcams.com/video/DPr7DY_Rhxk/video.html I believe this custom designed blast gun can be used for wet or dry blasting, I was going to email the guy and find out.
PS: How is the LED light holding up in there? I am considering replacing them with spot lights so that I can replace the bulb easily if they become etched. Also, how well can you see through the window at this point? It it getting all etched? The harbor freight guys mod the window with studs so that the glass can be easily replaced. I may do this down the road.
Oh, almost forgot, if you do ever make yours a gravity feed, I found this nice waterproof hub to go into the bottom of the hinged door. www.amazon.com/dp/B0055D5N68?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details It took a while to find this thing. Most of the HF guys don't use one with a rubber seal, like this one.
PS: I don't make money on either of these products. I am just trying to give you something back, if possible, for all of the time and effort you took to make your excellent and entertaining instructional videos, which were a big help to me. Thanks a again. G
Just saw this cool video. This guys cabinet can switch from wet blasting to dry in nothing flat. czcams.com/video/LlMZeMLis1o/video.html Thinking of doing this with my B60. This guy has a 3hp and 5hp gun that works wet or dry that kicks ass. $250 for the gun, though. I am using a 3/4 manifold with a 3/4 to 3/4 brass barb to 3/4 inch ID feed line using flexilla hose this guy sells. 1/2 line ID to the gun, if I get it. I do hate spending money, but i'll bet the difference in the performance is huge, if you have a 3 to 5hp compressor and 1/2 inch air lines. Thoughts?
That was badass! Sorry I missed this comment earlier. It looks like he has a sweet setup. Definitely going to check out his full build videos.
I'm a rtetired Tool & Die Maker. I notice that you demonstrate good planning as well as good technique on the things you do foir this mod. Am very curious where you got your training.
Thank you! I appreciate the comment. My training is simply from CZcams, instagram and life. Amazing time we live in. So much power right in our hand
I save my old blast media to mix with salt for the driveway and walk way in winter
Brilliant idea! Thank you for passing that one along 🙌🏼
TRY MOVING YOUR SHOP-VAC TO THE REAR AND MAKE A VENT FROM THE METAL SCREEN UP TO WHERE THE HOLE IS..... THEN LET YOUR AREA THAT YOU PUT THAT NEW(SUPER NICE BY THE WAY) MANIFOLD BE YOUR FRESH AIR.... IT COMPLETELY CHANGED MY WHOLE SET-UP BROTHER.....
Thank you for the comment. That sounds interesting. Do you have a place where I can see what you did? This is one of those cases where pictures are worth a thousand words. 🔥👍🏼🔥
@@HouseofChop check out this guy's video.... Mike from the Tacoma Company is a genius when it comes to media blast modifications.... czcams.com/video/79eC5laRQRM/video.html
Awesome!!! I see what he did there. My set up basically flows in reverse to his. I wonder if it makes a difference? 🧐
@@HouseofChop makes a big difference, reduces amount of lost media because you're blasting away from the exhaust, not towards it.
How much dust does the eastwood system put off outside of the cabinet? I mean some you have to wear a respirator while using it's so bad.
Zero. I have no issues with dust. I sealed it up really good at every joint when I built it and would recommend anyone building whatever brand to do the same. Over all I’ve been super impressed with this setup.
Which casters did you get? What is the load rating?
Those are cheap Harbor Freight casters. I believe they cost about $5-6. The total weight is not very high so you won't need something highly rated.
Hello, what compressor do you use?
Eastwood Scroll 30/60
www.eastwood.com/eastwood-elite-qst-30-60-scroll-air-compressor.html
What is cover that you on the tip on your plasma table I have same table
This is going to sound crazy but it’s a silicone cooking funnel. When I asked around it’s what everyone is using. Just makes the machine easier to work around because it suppresses the arc and keeps the water off the torch body. Here’s a link to the ones I bought.
amzn.to/2zAh1fW
@@HouseofChop nope not craxy its a great idea I built a skirt for mine around the base out od welding blankets and added a shelf to the end to hold plasma cutter and laptop to work on designs and a eletrical box with 110 outlets and everything is wired together to one 220 plug
What welding table is that?

It’s the Strong Hand Tools Rhino Cart and it’s a damn beast!!! I actually did a video on it too if you want to learn a bit more about it. 😉
czcams.com/video/FtWOQ3Jdpsk/video.html
Oh, yeah. As an average home owner, I have all-that-stuff (fancy tools) in MY garage. I'll just mosey on over and get started right now! :-/
In all seriousness, I'm green with envy. Would love to have those tools and, more importantly, know how to use them to their full effect.
Enjoyed your video previous to this one and it, like this one, was excellent as well. One can only wonder why Eastwood doesn't have your videos on their website or, at least, links to these, two, on CZcams. Yours are much more informative.
Eastwood should incorporate your modifications into their future models. If I order one from them, I wonder if they would be willing to integrate your modifications for me since, I don't have those fancy tools. ;-)
Edit: Inserted "for me" into the last paragraph and subscribed.
In all seriousness I am the average homeowner. This is my garage. It took years of carefully buying, trading and tucking things into corners to set this all up. I appreciate your generous words and taking time to leave a comment. It keeps me going and I encourage you to slowly start collecting the things to build your dream space. I’m far from done and I doubt I’ll ever get there but I can absolutely verify its been a blast along the way.
As for Eastwood I doubt they will make that accommodation but you absolutely can do almost everything I did in the video with basic hand tools and a sturdy bench. I did it that way for years. It’s how I learned. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out 😉🙌🏼

I would have put the vacuum on the other side. So you are not basting in that direction. But amazing job. New sub.
Thank you. I appreciate the generous words and the sub 🙌🏼
Install the gravity feed gun instead of the siphon. It does way better.
Definitely been looking at that. Do you have a recommendation on where to pick one up?
@@HouseofChop I ordered mine from the Tacoma Company but it is about a 5 week wait. There are some high flow ones described on CZcams if you do a search.
@@kendudash1342 Thank you
What psi do run?
Between 80-95
Future videos need more grinder solos! ;)
Aaron Builds A Seriously!!! I live to shred!!! So glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏼🙇🏻
@@HouseofChop Something that just occurred to me watching your Insta story about this - is the foot pedal attached to the cabinet or have a hook to hang it on when you're moving the cabinet, or do you leave the foot behind when you drag it outside for Dust Time?
Aaron Builds A This is a good question. Originally I was just tossing it in the mouth of the beast and rolling on but after I relocated it I’m not sure that’s a possibility. I had originally intended to attach it to the base I made but ended up not liking the placement.... I guess the short answer is, I don’t quite have that sorted yet 🤣🙌🏼
@@HouseofChop Simple idea would be a large magnetic base on the bottom of it - when you want to move it, just lift it up and slap it upside down on the inverted pyramid section? Fancy idea would be a switchable magnet like a DTI base.. :D
Aaron Builds A I think this magnet idea might be the winner. I like it!
Where do you set your vent opening at on the back side?
Approximately 3/4 open has seemed to work the best.
@@HouseofChop Ok cool, thats where i'm at on mine as well. Just bought the dust collection system and planning moving the suction side to the left like you did.
@@chargerman426Good luck with it. It’s definitely worth your while and will save you a whole lot of filters and keep performance up if you add a “Dust Stopper” or “Dust Deputy” between the vacuum and the cabinet.
When you move the pickup to the left I don’t believe you need to get a elaborate as I did. I figured out just getting it on that side and low should do the trick after I did some more testing.
I personally like the Dust Stopper because if it’s tight form factor. Here’s a link

@@HouseofChop Interesting that you kept a dust deputy type product in line as well... I was moving to the eastwood dust collector set up to get away from my dust deputy and shop vac set up.
@@chargerman426The Eastwood vacuum is basically a shop vac with a much stronger pull. Still has a filter and the fine dust in the cabinet will clog it quick. I found with the Dust Stopper in line the performance of the vacuum wasn’t encumbered by the filter getting loaded up as quick. In addition to that it’s a whole lot easier to just dump the pail when needed rather than the whole trap door setup on the Eastwood vac.
Buy a "scatblast" cabinet and vacuum from TP Tools and be done ✔️ 😊

I have their cheap one the B20 DON’T GET IT, it leaks from every seam. I just ordered the Skat Blast® USA SKAT CAT 35V its Made in the usa, one piece, and it comes with the abrasive. Yes it’s a few hundred more but it works right out of the box.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Not impressed with how flimsy mine is for the price. Needs way to many expensive upgrades to make it a decent cabinet.
Great video BUT ditch that gun!
Appreciate it! Have a suggestion for a replacement?
Old post, and maybe you've changed your gun by now. But check out the skat guns. @HouseofChop
