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!
