I used to work in a shipyard. One of my jobs was sandblasting. I loved that part of the job. Through my positive-pressure helmet I would watch the rust turn to clean gray steel in long, hypnotic sweeps cleaning gigantic plates. I couldn't hear anything and a tap on the shoulder told me when it was break or quitting time. I was always surprised! I had no sense of time passing. --as far as safety equipment: thick gloves, positive pressure helmet, tear off layers of plexiglass on the front of the helmet, heavy canvas clothing. This macho man? -a pair of knit gloves and a fold-down face shield. Hey, they're tough in Russia.
Jesus, That's a SERIOUS piece of DIY kit. I've used low to mid range industrial sand blasters in the past and this thing was stripping heavy scale off at least as easily as some of the industrial kit I was let loose with, And the company I worked for had spent several thousand pounds to get those !!! The only problem he'll have is if he starts trying to strip paint off car body panels with it, The friction caused by all the little impacts can cause localised heating, and when you're getting up to this level of power that heat can be enough to warp the metal. When I first saw this happen I thought the force of the impacts from the media had left lines of dent in the car door I was blasting, But an older employee explained what was happening and demonstrated it by blasting a section of 3mm steel for a couple of minutes, Then telling me to touch it........ It wasn't warm, it was friggin' HOT !!!!!
The spark plug trick is pretty nifty. Frequently check your sand hose for thin spots. The sand / slag will wear the hose if you have a curve in it while using it. I know a guy that had the hose blow out where a thin spot had occurred and it blew the skin right off his arm where the sand hit it. He had to have muscle surgery and skin grafts. A good idea would be to wear a leather welding cape with the sleeves.
Dry air is the key to sandblasting. It takes surprisingly little moisture to interfer with the sand feed. One drop will stick a 2 cm ball of sand together. If the blast hose twitches as you work, you're getting sand in clumps. You're in a cold moist climate. You need more than a water separator. I suggest a refrigerated air dryer or a dessicant dryer. If that's not possible, rig up an air heater. 50 - 60⁰ C air to the sand pot will dry the sand and keep it loose all the way to the nozzle.
It is. Did sand blasting for a company few months and dangers of that thing come to clear real fast. If you have blasting hall with door open, you need full replacement air hood mask that covers your shoulders and feeds you clean air trough hose. You need very powerful lighting cause after 15minutes of blasting you wont see shit even in good sun light being outside. That stream of particles will eat trough metal easily, dent it if you keep it in place too long, go trough 2x4 in about 20 seconds and normal glove...well mind where your hands and feet are... Worst thing that happened to me, was after hour of blasting replacement air supply cut off for some reason and hose had tangled. Tried to untangle it for 30 seconds before air started to become full of dust, so one last inhale, looked to find those huge doors and sun light as exit.. could not see it, so took gamble and run out with out the hood.

After 20 years touring auto repair shops and factories from Frankfort to Moscow to Kazakhstan (and running a Jeep business there), the make it yourself attitude was everywhere. In the US workshop we toss and replace with a short wait for Amazon or NAPA to deliver our parts or equipment. But in Kazakhstan or Siberia you’d better have mechanics who make it or repair it. In every shop I‘D see a 30 year old Lada in a back corner, stripped down to the frame and being rebuilt. It was a necessity since car loans were rare, mostly paid for with cash, and an old rebuilt Lada was affordable, simple to repair, and better than the bus. Loved this video, nice touch to paint it in the end. Didn’t see that finishing touch much in the 2000-2010 days.
First and most importantly, Thank you so much for spending the time and money to do the voice over. It makes your content so much easier to follow and much more enjoyable.
I use a sandblaster also. I built a 10' x 10' area with tarps that keep the blasting media contained within that area. I easily sweep it up and shovel it through a screen to reuse the media while removing the larger debris. Use a respirator because many blasting medias are very harmful to lungs.
And careful, with every reuse that material breaks down and the particles become smaller and smaller, even a good respirator won't keep that crap outta your Lungs. It also becomes less effective as the sand loses it's sharp edges, as I'm sure you know. I wouldn't do much of it without a full hood. A Blasting Cabinet for items like that little Vice would best but damn they ain't cheap. Cheers!!!
put it through 2 screens one to remove large debris and one to remove anything smaller than the normal media should be. It's the medium stuff you want to keep. a magnetic plate to remove the metal dust is useful too.
Я сделал такой же дизайн, используя бутылку с хладагентом 134А около 15 кг. Я купил керамическое сопло для моего. Но я сделал так же, как ты. Я считаю очень полезным использовать хотя бы один водоотделитель, если не два. попадание влаги в ваш агрегат быстро остановит вас. Также, если бы у меня был большой проект, я бы заставил моего сына кормить бутылку, следить за давлением, сливать влагоотделитель и вибрировать бутылку палкой, чтобы заполнитель двигался вниз. Отличная работа! Я люблю пескоструйную обработку.
I made the same sort of design using a 25 pound 134A refrigerant bottle. I have the hoses and valves the same as yours. However I bought a ceramic nozzle for mine. It’s advisable to use water separators. I have two on mine. Water in your aggregate will stop you dead. If I have big jobs, I enlist someone to, refill the container with aggregate, monitor my pressure, drain the water separator and whack the bottle with a stick to keep the sand moving down. Great job! I love sandblasting.
In life there are 4 levels of difficulty. 1 Easy. 2 Medium. 3 Hard. 4 Russian. Makes me want to pull out my old sand blaster and clean stuff. Important to keep the water out of the air. Fit a water separator to your compressor line. Regards from South Africa.
I like your sandblast build. Excellent camera work,especially the hose shots. The machine stream eats the oxides and goes right to bare metal. Very ingenious use of an old oxygen cylinder. You are a resourceful fabricator. Success!
I thought it was an old acetylene cylinder. They did fill it with water to do their work because of the former contents. I don't believe that would be necessary if it had previously held oxygen.
At 17.20-- "That said, safety should always be a big concern..." To which we heartily agree, and suggest the sandblaster operator do all cleaning of parts outside, not inside the shop. Airborne silica is a permanent hazard for lungs, so he should wear an ultra- fine-particle, dual breather mask, which covers the eyes, nose and mouth with an air-tight seal. This type of mask is used in auto body shops during spraying of automotive paints. You cannot be too careful, even with all the thought and craftsmanship which produced this wonderful tool. Thank you for the idea ! BTW-- BMI Russian provided an Impressively fluid and nuanced translation. Its translator had no discernible accent, and spoke as rapidly and clearly as needed.
I'm building a wet blaster to avoid condensation blockages. Love spark plug idea! White Vinegar is a great rust remover. Phosphoric acid for rust conversion is available from rural stock suppliers and used in dairy industry. Can nickel plate yourself with car battery!

In Afghanistan, sometimes when we needed something like this, we had to make it for ourselves. We might order one, and it might - maybe - get there sometime in the next six months. I made a sandblaster out of an old pressure-washer valve and some hydraulic fittings, (to pick up the sand,) and used sand from the volleyball pit. It fed from a water bottle. Worked great!
In actual fact, it's called a Vice, a German invention about 100yrs old. If we put an 'S' in place of every word that contained a 'C', I'd hate to try & read your version of the word 'scissors'.
Gotta set the sand and air mix and when opening the hand valve all open or closed quickly. Been doing this for decades and if not you'll wear the hand valve out in a few seconds. Even ones made for blasting will wear out in a minute if you don't have full open or closed. Always wear a hood with least 3/8 plastic lens. Hook a filter up before the sand or that'll cause issues where you gotta shake it to get sand out good. Even with hood and glasses on sand will get inside and will get in your eyes. Sand will get in places sand shouldn't be. And duct tape won't stop it. So if using on a diff, engine etc plug up with plugs and whatever you can. Great idea and cheap idea. Use hydraulic hose for the sand hose. I've used one and had a blow out and it's not good. Check it before each use. When you do a big job it's alot of sand going through and it will eat hoses, valves etc. Way faster than anything but acid.
Chillin in Russia... Definition of understatement. Seriously though excellent vid. The only additions would be a collector and filter for the sand as it will save of the refills and disposal.Tthe collector/filter can be set up with well thought out DIY. Add to that a cabinet for all the set up.
I've made several sandblasters out of propane tanks and you guys made yours different than mine. First, get a new two-wheel cart for about 40 to 50 bucks and just blow out the tank instead of using water. Don't cut the top of the tank out. Remove the valve and put a 3/4" nipple 1" long where the valve was. Screw on a 3/4" gate valve to control how much sand you want with your air. You will find this most useful. Another short nipple with a T. All 3/4" fittings. One side of the T is your sandblast hose. The other side is 3/4" hose that goes up the side of tank. Put the 2" pipe thread nipple into the hole you put in bottom of tank which from now on is the top of tank. 3/4" nipple in the side of your filler pipe long enough to go through the edge of the lip of the tank. I always tack this one after tight to keep from moving. Put a T on the nipple pointing down two take the hose from the other T. Stitch an 18" plate on the wheel cart for more stability and weld a bent pipe from one cart frame to the other side to protect your air dryer when it gets knocked over. Don't worry it will get knocked over sometime. A female 1/2" chuck going to the dryer and your done. The gate vale will save lots of sand and prevent from over loading your discharge. I always mark the valve tap for settings and shut off sand when done. With a 3/16" nozzle you can do a 3-4" pass in one swipe or a long-wheelbase five-ton to shinny steel in 2 hours or less. The dryers on tank and coming out of air tank is best. Well worth 6the extra bucks. I run a regulator at 150 psi out of a 225 psi system. This will work better than what you buy.
NEVER, NEVER just use air to remove the residual gas; always use water to be 100% safe! A very talented welder in my area blew himself up just using air.
I like this Russian and his ENGINE-nuity. Wish he lived next door so we could share idea's. Another way to do a sandblaster: Fill a Homer bucket with abrasive sand, insert a siphon tube into the sand with a vinyl hose connected to a solvent sprayer head. Connect air hose. Viola. Less susceptible to humidity and easy to clean. That big acetylene tank will be very difficult to clean out once the abrasive begins to clump up.
the gloves you need are rubber and very thick. when sandblasting a wheel or something thin you must not spend too much time in one area because like welding, the heat can build and make the part warp.
Airborne particulates from sandblasting is really hazardous to breathe, risk of silicosis, not to mention the rust particles. I recommend particulate filter respirator like N95 or P3 and protective glasses together with a face shield. Good DIY project!
I have an old ATV fuel tank that could use a treatment like that. I thought building a contraption like that would be much more difficult. I'm gonna try that.
These guys are amazing. I worked in Russia a few times. Problem under the Lada? Throw a few tyres on the ground and ask some mates to help you turn it on its side. Got a new car? First thing, crack the windscreen, then no-one will steal the screen. That was back in '91. Things may be better now! Спаси Бог
there was a case report a few years ago about a guy who was turning an old drum into a bbq. he filled it full of water before cutting into it and it still blew up.
I was recently restoring my aluminium wheels that had some corrosion on them. I used steel brush and it took me so long and I don't think I removed it all. Sand blasting is a way to go.
You definitely need a respirator. Inhaled dust like that can cause mesothelioma. I like your idea of using an old gas cylinder. I might look for one to turn into an air tank for my bus.
I use to sandblast with professionnal machines 40 hours a week. We also had a portable sandblaster that kinda looked like this one. Never used it in more than a decade working there. To operate this you need some good CFM from your compressor. Not those 8 gallons fron Harbor Freight trust me! They recommend for those small ones a minimum 5 HP+ with 6 to 25 CFM. Also, you need a good capacity tank of air. I wouldn't recommend below 40 gallons, cause it goes very fast. Professionnal sandblast stations, on the other hand, were enclosed with a glass protective seethrought window, high power LED lights and filtered recuperation stations to get the maximum out of your blasting media. Those were pretty expensive and needed 550V 3 phases power and at the very least 35 CFM of airflow. Total investment, about 25K for each machine plus the blasting media and the compressor. Compared to a brush and grinder, this is WAY better and faster, night and day. For the price, I would suggest anyone in a garage to have that kind of equipment, but don't forget to wear some protective gears like a cartridge dusk mask and safety glasses. You don't want old paint particules in your lungs trust me.
No, respirator or ear protection, at least he put a face shield and gloves to keep his hands warm, but I am impressed with the ingenuity, Bravo!, spasiba!!

actually we thought of doing that for a big sandblaster you need large quantity of pressured gas, the lada can only. produce 5 bar but at 4000RPM it exhausts more than 3000 liter per minute
The sand blaster is good. But for the amount of work that went into it it does not perform as good as my $9.99 LIDL sand blaster but It may be due to chilled slag media used in video vs allox media
@@AmstradExin Not exactly, i have my blow gun from AliExpress for over a year and it still works regardless it was often abused, like working with 10bar pressure while it's rated for 6 bar max
For the poor? Did you not see what tools are required to fab this pressure blaster? You need a welder, C25 gas for the welder, filler wire, welding helmet, grinder, cut off wheels, drill bits, drill, etc. To top it all off... you need a decent air compressor to run a pressure blaster this big. Dumbass...
Part way through i was beginning to think this was an episode of the A Team, lol, lol, lol. Loving that lime green Lada estate in the background. That looks like it could be a serious 'sleeper'.
That DIY sandbalster could do with a pressure gauge so you could see the amount of pressure is in it. BTW, Best translation and narration from Russian!
now you need a blast cabinet, with a baghouse, also if you don't have an air dryer water in the air will be a problem, i have used all kinds of media blasters, hand held gravity feed, bucket siphon feed, cabinet siphon feed, small pressure pots that hold half a bad of media, large pressure pots that hold 4 bags of media and have a diesel blower/compressor and cabinets with a pressure pot system, the last two had no valves at the end of the hose, when the system had pressure you were blasting till the media was gone, the large pot was outside and the media was lost, the pot cabinet recycled the media separating the dust from the un-burst media via a cyclone classifier and baghouse system, in this system a small pressure pot sat below the classifier and had an air controlled valve, when the pot ran out of media you released a foot switch which opened the valve at the top of the pot allowing the media in the classifier to fall in, then you stepped on the foot switch which closed the valve pressurizing the system and you were blasting again, sounds complex but it is a simple system, i could explain how the dust is separated from the un-burst media, maybe later... in a proper working system the grains of media should burst when hitting what your cleaning, that has the most effect.
You should create a hood with grill bars on top of a hopper to catch and recycle the sand/copper slag. A strong magnet near the throat of the hopper will help pull most of the metallic/rust waste from the sand though I'm unsure how to filter the paint particles out. It's worth looking into and will save money from buying copper slag every time you need to use it (until recycled sand loses it's scour ability)

Use hydraulic hose for the sand hose. I've used one and had a blow out and it's not good. Check it before each use. When you do a big job it's alot of sand going through and it will eat hoses, valves etc. Way faster than anything but acid.
I love how they use dubstep songs♥️
Btw that translator is a legend!
I know, right. What could be a better fit with Dubstep than Russian dudes grinding and welding contraptions in a dark warehouse? Haha!
It works. Brilliant.
Chillin in Russia... Definition of understatement. Seriously though excellent vid. The only additions would be a collector and filter for the sand as it will save of the refills and disposal.Tthe collector/filter can be set up with well thought out DIY. Add to that a cabinet for all the set up.
I've made several sandblasters out of propane tanks and you guys made yours different than mine. First, get a new two-wheel cart for about 40 to 50 bucks and just blow out the tank instead of using water. Don't cut the top of the tank out. Remove the valve and put a 3/4" nipple 1" long where the valve was. Screw on a 3/4" gate valve to control how much sand you want with your air. You will find this most useful. Another short nipple with a T. All 3/4" fittings. One side of the T is your sandblast hose. The other side is 3/4" hose that goes up the side of tank. Put the 2" pipe thread nipple into the hole you put in bottom of tank which from now on is the top of tank. 3/4" nipple in the side of your filler pipe long enough to go through the edge of the lip of the tank. I always tack this one after tight to keep from moving. Put a T on the nipple pointing down two take the hose from the other T. Stitch an 18" plate on the wheel cart for more stability and weld a bent pipe from one cart frame to the other side to protect your air dryer when it gets knocked over. Don't worry it will get knocked over sometime. A female 1/2" chuck going to the dryer and your done. The gate vale will save lots of sand and prevent from over loading your discharge. I always mark the valve tap for settings and shut off sand when done. With a 3/16" nozzle you can do a 3-4" pass in one swipe or a long-wheelbase five-ton to shinny steel in 2 hours or less. The dryers on tank and coming out of air tank is best. Well worth 6the extra bucks. I run a regulator at 150 psi out of a 225 psi system. This will work better than what you buy.
NEVER, NEVER just use air to remove the residual gas; always use water to be 100% safe! A very talented welder in my area blew himself up just using air.
You're a genius. That ceramic tip... Noone (me) would have thought of that. 👌🏻😉
good project ! if you don't have the tool you need , build it .. much respect guys.
107% success rate with that. Well done.
I like this Russian and his ENGINE-nuity. Wish he lived next door so we could share idea's. Another way to do a sandblaster: Fill a Homer bucket with abrasive sand, insert a siphon tube into the sand with a vinyl hose connected to a solvent sprayer head. Connect air hose. Viola. Less susceptible to humidity and easy to clean. That big acetylene tank will be very difficult to clean out once the abrasive begins to clump up.
For the people that want to know:
Fum tape= teflon tape.
the gloves you need are rubber and very thick. when sandblasting a wheel or something thin you must not spend too much time in one area because like welding, the heat can build and make the part warp.
You can use baking soda instead of sand it doesn’t warp the part as much
Airborne particulates from sandblasting is really hazardous to breathe, risk of silicosis, not to mention the rust particles. I recommend particulate filter respirator like N95 or P3 and protective glasses together with a face shield. Good DIY project!
I would never had thought using a tank quite in this way. I have a 5 gal propane tank I can use for the same purpose. Excellent idea! Thanks!!
The translator was so funny I couldn't stop laughing.
I have an old ATV fuel tank that could use a treatment like that. I thought building a contraption like that would be much more difficult. I'm gonna try that.
Awesome.
But give attention on thin steel
You might want to use a finer medium than copper slag or you'll end up with a colender!
These guys are amazing. I worked in Russia a few times. Problem under the Lada? Throw a few tyres on the ground and ask some mates to help you turn it on its side. Got a new car? First thing, crack the windscreen, then no-one will steal the screen. That was back in '91. Things may be better now! Спаси Бог
Отличная сборка сумасшедших россиян! Я подписался Очень хорошо, сэр! привет из Саутпорта, Великобритания.
Was saving an old gas tank similiar to that to do that same thing. Now i know how to do it. Thank you!!
there was a case report a few years ago about a guy who was turning an old drum into a bbq. he filled it full of water before cutting into it and it still blew up.
I was recently restoring my aluminium wheels that had some corrosion on them. I used steel brush and it took me so long and I don't think I removed it all. Sand blasting is a way to go.
Using a steel brush will also impregnate the aluminium with steel particles and you will find it rusts faster next time.
@@michaelwesten1092 Aluminum oxide... of course!
You definitely need a respirator. Inhaled dust like that can cause mesothelioma. I like your idea of using an old gas cylinder. I might look for one to turn into an air tank for my bus.
I use to sandblast with professionnal machines 40 hours a week. We also had a portable sandblaster that kinda looked like this one. Never used it in more than a decade working there.
To operate this you need some good CFM from your compressor. Not those 8 gallons fron Harbor Freight trust me! They recommend for those small ones a minimum 5 HP+ with 6 to 25 CFM. Also, you need a good capacity tank of air. I wouldn't recommend below 40 gallons, cause it goes very fast.
Professionnal sandblast stations, on the other hand, were enclosed with a glass protective seethrought window, high power LED lights and filtered recuperation stations to get the maximum out of your blasting media. Those were pretty expensive and needed 550V 3 phases power and at the very least 35 CFM of airflow. Total investment, about 25K for each machine plus the blasting media and the compressor.
Compared to a brush and grinder, this is WAY better and faster, night and day. For the price, I would suggest anyone in a garage to have that kind of equipment, but don't forget to wear some protective gears like a cartridge dusk mask and safety glasses. You don't want old paint particules in your lungs trust me.
Thank you!
No, respirator or ear protection, at least he put a face shield and gloves to keep his hands warm, but I am impressed with the ingenuity, Bravo!, spasiba!!
I love reading comments like this when I can’t sleep because they’re so boring
He's a Russian leave him be .
Dzięki za zajebisty pomysł na maszynę do warsztatu :D pozdrawiam
Mistakes+ all ! Much respect for you! Thanks!
Lovin' it. Nothing short of heroes in my book. HEROES I TELL YOU!!!
They make fast connect fitings in 1/4 and adapters from 1/2 to 1/4.
Russians are awesome. "Holy crap I just blew a hole in the Table" LOL
You're sandblaster is better than most retail stores, you should start building these and selling them!
Incredibly done. I could never have come up with that!
Thanks for the translation, dude!
Yeaaahhhhh, us DIY people will do this. Don't deny it😂
I already have most of the parts lying at home. Definitely going to try this!
If i had the parts, i would ... Speaking of parts... i have like 60 % of the parts... so if i had the 40% i would do it, really.
Love the modern music that kicks from 5:41, it nicely contrasts the rudimentary work being completed
What's the name of that music track?
It's nice to see the old man back to work. Just like the old days
The good thing about TH-cam is it cuts through the bull shit propaganda on mainstream media about cultural differences, you are exactly like us in the West & just as crazy, keep up these brilliant videos 👍👍👍
I've always thought of Russia as that crazy drunk uncle we all have.
Ya know, when you explain how your videos are done out loud it sounds like a terrible idea "I'm going to have a Russian video playing in the background with me translating over it" but damn the way you do it makes it so nice to watch so thank you because I really enjoy these guys and you do the videos/editing the translation in such a good way.
This bloke is a genius! Looks like a really decent job! 👍🏻
Never thought I would watch something on this channel and want to do it myself good job on the build
You could have just hooked it up to the exhaust of the Lada.
Or sandblast the intake of a Lada
@@AlissonSPereira ...of the same Lada
Best comment here! Hilarious
actually we thought of doing that for a big sandblaster you need large quantity of pressured gas, the lada can only. produce 5 bar but at 4000RPM it exhausts more than 3000 liter per minute
Why is every video a “107% success”? 🤔
(i never tire of their crazy russian antics 😁)
Because youtube pays big bucks
The sand blaster is good. But for the amount of work that went into it it does not perform as good as my $9.99 LIDL sand blaster but It may be due to chilled slag media used in video vs allox media
Your diy is better than all factory
Holy shit that sandblaster is badass!! Much better than the ones from the stores!!
home made Russian sandblaster deigned by heavy dubstep fanatic
This is "Make it extreme" for poor .
No, this is luxury version. Cheapest, simplest sandblaster is made from 3$ blow gun and a plastic bottle :p
@@Blido They are basically like these 'single use' paint guns?
@@AmstradExin Not exactly, i have my blow gun from AliExpress for over a year and it still works regardless it was often abused, like working with 10bar pressure while it's rated for 6 bar max
For the poor? Did you not see what tools are required to fab this pressure blaster? You need a welder, C25 gas for the welder, filler wire, welding helmet, grinder, cut off wheels, drill bits, drill, etc. To top it all off... you need a decent air compressor to run a pressure blaster this big. Dumbass...
@@Void-gn9zm Im joking man, take it easy :)
Part way through i was beginning to think this was an episode of the A Team, lol, lol, lol.
Loving that lime green Lada estate in the background. That looks like it could be a serious 'sleeper'.
That DIY sandbalster could do with a pressure gauge so you could see the amount of pressure is in it. BTW, Best translation and narration from Russian!
This is gonna be funnnn!!
No
No
no no no no, no no no no, no no there's no limits!
Thanks i tried it on myself and lost 30 pound
Rusty
Eh, you didn't need that arm anyway.
What a terrific little video. Thanks!
I love this guy. His ideas videos are my hapines support :)
6:26 "Is ThAt A sUpRa?!"
This is a replica
The absence of gloves or eye protection while grinding is epic
in Spain we don't need them either
Absolutely kick ass! Brilliant
now you need a blast cabinet, with a baghouse, also if you don't have an air dryer water in the air will be a problem, i have used all kinds of media blasters, hand held gravity feed, bucket siphon feed, cabinet siphon feed, small pressure pots that hold half a bad of media, large pressure pots that hold 4 bags of media and have a diesel blower/compressor and cabinets with a pressure pot system, the last two had no valves at the end of the hose, when the system had pressure you were blasting till the media was gone, the large pot was outside and the media was lost, the pot cabinet recycled the media separating the dust from the un-burst media via a cyclone classifier and baghouse system, in this system a small pressure pot sat below the classifier and had an air controlled valve, when the pot ran out of media you released a foot switch which opened the valve at the top of the pot allowing the media in the classifier to fall in, then you stepped on the foot switch which closed the valve pressurizing the system and you were blasting again, sounds complex but it is a simple system, i could explain how the dust is separated from the un-burst media, maybe later... in a proper working system the grains of media should burst when hitting what your cleaning, that has the most effect.
Do a video on the motorcycle you’re restoring. Please.
Только не "фум тэйп" а "тефлон тэйп".. )
I never knew my Russian was so efficient. I must be fluent. As far as the video and the man doing the work.
Спасибо!
It's amazing that I've come here to learn how to sandblast for my Ural Motorcycle, and what do I see sitting on his table? A Ural wheel. Brilliant.
I thought Russia used the Metric system?
Wondering why you guys are using Imperial pipe measurements?
1/2" = 13mm anyways...
Well, the hoses even in Europe are labeled in inches for some reason. We'we call them 'zoll', its some German word, but they're actually inches.
Nice... i guess... let me try it on joe
whos joe
Hi again
@@HawkSVK His gimp. He's going to try his DIY ButtBlaster on his gimp, Joe, before he tries it on himself.
@@HawkSVK joe balls
@@BobMonkeypimp naaah not interested in trying it myself,
but you and your little sister do seem like some fine people to test it!
Excellent G 54. I enjoyed this video. Sooooo soooooo kool. I love watching what y'all always come up with. Thanx for sharing it with us
these guys are badass, love the style of vids too, narration, music, straight to the point 🔥⛽️🏎💨
When I need an air compressor I’m shopping at Vlad Depot
I am more that impressed. Well done and two thumbs up!
Awesome! Great video, well planned out, and very informative! Thankyou! Thumb's up from Canada!
You should create a hood with grill bars on top of a hopper to catch and recycle the sand/copper slag. A strong magnet near the throat of the hopper will help pull most of the metallic/rust waste from the sand though I'm unsure how to filter the paint particles out. It's worth looking into and will save money from buying copper slag every time you need to use it (until recycled sand loses it's scour ability)
Most awesome piece of practical video on your channel I think, great work!
Love y'alls channel , always look forward to y'alls videos
Never cease to make useful things that work well 👍
Wow! Thanks for sharing. An amazing addition to any shop.
