I second that. Years ago, my guess is late 80s or early 90s there
was a <br>
company, Savings by Design, Inc., that was selling a cardboard blast
cabinet. I <br>
used that for several years until Harbor Freight came out with a plastic
table top <br>
one. Used those 2, the cardboard and plastic one, for many years
and at least 2 <br>
cars. Then a friend gave me a nice one on rollers.<br><br>
I also bought a Harbor Freight pressure blaster. Used that in the
corner of my<br>
back yard. Tied a piece of rope across the "L" in one
corner, hung a heavy plastic<br>
sheet acoss the rope with clothes pins. So I had a nice
"L" with the plastic, vertical <br>
and then on the ground. That way I could recover about 90 - 95% of
the sand.<br>
I used a piece of screen over a funnel as I scooped up the sand and
refilled the<br>
pressure blaster.<br><br>
Check out the article I wrote on how I did it:<br><br>

</a>I mention the cardboard cabinet in this article, about 1/2 way
down:<br><br>

</a>It's a shame that they still aren't available. I don't know why
they company quite selling them and folded, but my guess is the
plastic ones just got to competative <br>
in price.<br><br>
One note on using a Shop vac to evacuate the dust from the cabinet.
Put a <br>
couple of inches of water in the bottom of the vac. This will help
keep from <br>
clogging the filter so quickly.<br><br>
