Dennis,It must be a problem with your browser. After the July issue, we startedwith a new way to store the info and it apparently is not working for you.It works for me as I printed out a copy of all the articles so that I cansend out photocopies to those that want it. You really want to make one ofthese blasters guys.I will send out copies with large, readable drawings for an 8.00 taxdeductible donation to EAA CHapter 25. Make the check payable to EAAChapter 25. I will even write the final installment!!!Email me for my mailing address at bobka(at)charter.net.chris bobka-----Original Message-----

Regarding plans for a sandblasting cabinet, I built a nice one using 1/2"particle board. It really wasn't designed to last forever but it's niceenough. I've used it extensively when restoring my Model A and was able toget large parts in it, like the spoke wheels. I spent maybe $90 includingthe piano hinge and plexiglass. By the way, plexiglass and glass bothbecome opaque after about the same amount of time and I found it easier towork with plexiglass so that's what I used. Also, I eventually bought oneof those $100 pressure pot sandblasters and it works MUCH better than thesiphon type. The Chinese nozzles wear out pretty fast, on both types, soit's important to figure out where you are going to get replacements. In apinch, I had a buddy turn one out of steel, it didn't last much longer. Ijust keep the pressure down to 40psi and that seems to decrease the wear abit.I have plans for the thing including a cutting arrangement for the particleboard on
