Alan & Daniel
A good point, the manufacture has already added an intake point on the left side of the cabinet where the air is sucked in then it cross drafts across to exit out the upper right of the cabinet
The progress:
three coats of paint on the foot pedal assembly
cut the hose dust collection hose in half for the second dust collection point
took the gun apart then put it back together with the non-broken side of the blast tip facing out. (things did not want to come apart easy, but I was able to get things apart without breaking anything.)
testing out the lights, etc.
it seems to push air through and pull suction like it's supposed to but there is no media and no dust collection filters so I am not using it yet.
I think it's come along way, it should work as expected.

| Do you have the disposable view liners to put on the glass? TSC carries them around here in a couple sizes. |

| I haven't picked any up yet, but I do plan on getting some from TSC before I use it. (I was thinking about getting the abrasive there actually) |

Unless I'm in Louisville to stop in Harbor Freight, I get all my supplies at TSC. |

I suck at taking pictures, but...
aluminum pulley
before
after
(I sprayed primer just after I took the pic.)
It works, still need a few parts, (expanded metal screen for the cabinet, and some filter accessories) but I've started blasting stuff :)
testing it out on one of the cabinet shelves we got. It works great on that paint, but where there are multiple layers of some other type it seems to bounce.
So, I'm going to try a couple different types of blast media as well, all I have at the moment is aluminum oxide.

| If you do small parts like screws or pins you will find it handy to also lay a layer of window type screen over the expanded metal. It saves a lot of time looking for them. Alan |

| Looks like you've done a fine job there! That is one tool I'd like to have in the shop but it's a long ways off for me. |
