Onsite sandblasting setupI’ve done several memorial stones lately. This one turned out particularly well, with the earthy tone of the stone, and the nice natural shape.

A View From Within

July 16th, 2011 by Ron Branch

Sandblast booth building techniquesI’ve been working on a small walk-in booth down at Chuck’s Studio. Although it’s much smaller than most of the others I’ve built, it’s turning out to be one of my favorites.

I’ll be describing some of it’s attributes soon in “The Sandblast Booth Saga”, but I’ve put together a slideshow of the latest addition, which is the cover box for the view hole.

You can see the slide show over in the blog

Update

July 13th, 2011 by Ron Branch

What is this noise?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.
