neat

This is a sandblasting cabinet.

The top of tygerwillow uses it skillfully. My bicycle frame is barely visible there, in the storm of silicosis-causing fines. I took the gun next, and then grapesodavixen tried a little shootin', too.

Technically, the cabinet was booked for an adult education class (wiiith zero attendees), so a cranky professor shooed us away halfway through the process. That just means one more trip. No big deal.

The sandblasted surface looks and feels great. I plan to paint this one, but there should be a clearcoat-over-steel frame in the future.
