This was the basic concept used to sandblast inside a public library. I haven’t tried this for doing anything at high pressure, only for careful work with a gravity gun.
I used 1″x2″s for light weight construction, black plastic, and thin carpeting stretched across the top as the air inlet. The inlet should be sized so as to maintain a slight vacuum.

Thanks for the tips – It’s all fixed! It was pointed out to me that I could know more about the noise by running it with the belt off. The noise remained, which meant for sure it was the motor. I had it repaired for 90 dollars. What a relief.

I always enjoy fixing up a fixer-upper. I knew I was going to love this old potters wheel once it got cleaned up. It’s quite a contraption. It has a lever that you push with your foot that turns the big heavy lower wheel. Once you get it going, it goes for a long time on its own.
This was todays project. Several hours of sandblasting off the old layers, and then some really cool Rustoleum spray I found that gives the finish a “hammered” look. (Click on the photo to see progress shots).
