    Building a Dustless Vacuum Blaster

    Hi Everyone,
    I’ve been doing bodywork on my old truck, that includes stripping the old paint with a DA sander. There are lots of nooks and crannies that the sander can’t reach, but an abrasive blaster will. Sand blasting is normally too messy to do in the shop, so I built this accessory for my shop vac to catch the blast media, as I sandblast.
    It keeps the mess to a minimum, and allows me to capture and reuse the blast media.
    I hope some of you find this to be helpful!
    Here’s a video of the build. Please Subscribe to my channel, if you’d like to see more.
    Thanks! 👍 Tony B
