I was first introduced to abrasive blasting in my early teenage years while restoring my first classic car, a Triumph Spitfire. This car was known to have a lot of rust problems and blasting was a perfect solution to help restore it. Ever since then, I have restored a rusty '67 Mercury Cougar and am currently working on a '68 Pontiac Firebird. It wasn't until several years later that I got interested in the hobby of using my blaster to engrave designs into glass and rock. I have also worked for a landscaping company specializing in sandblasting artistic designs into rocks. I decided to create this website to blog about the cool things that one can do with sandblasting, provide information about sandblasters with solutions to problems such as flow, and to write about my current car restoration projects. I also market and sell informational materials such as the Sandblaster Plans which shows you how to make your own and my Fix Sandblaster Abrasive Problems & Modification Manual which can be downloaded at any time of day. All you need is a credit card or Paypal account. I pride myself on some of the helpful solutions and provide a 30 day money back guaranteed if it wasn't helpful. I appreciate you checking out my site. You can review any of my latest blog posts below. Comments are welcome and encouraged!

Earlier this year Cristian Galeazzi of Italy got a hold of my sandblaster plans and made a great example that I wanted to show every one else. He shared photos of his blaster which I neglected to follow up on until recently. He was friendly enough to allow me to feature him and share photos
At the time of writing this post, it is the year of 2013. And although dustless sandblasting equipment has been available for many years now, it seems to be all the rave these days. Over the past few months, I have received an enormous amount of emails from people asking about it. Before I ramble
Pressure washer sandblasting is an interesting type that mixes abrasive with high pressured water to help abrade the surface, while keeping dust down. The abrasive dust is one of the most annoying things associated with abrasive blasting, so these are becoming popular to keep the dust down. The water prevents dust from forming and is
A visitors states: I have a SCM Jet Streamer Two sand carving machine and equipment that has not been used. And I want to sell it, I paid $3195, I would take at least $3000 the price of said machine today is $3945. Everything is still in the boxes.

Eric- My wife and I are starting up a small business doing glass and stone etching and carving, mainly using sandblasting.

Well me being stubborn at times, I never mounted the canister correctly onto the pressure pot. So the large separator was dangling there, pulling down on the manifold and putting pressure onto
