blast cabinet from a kit?

[NickWheeler]

Tip sells plans and a kit to build a blast cabinet with 2 sheets of plywood for $250 (after s&h).

Have any of you guys used or seen one of these?

The picture on their site looks really good.

I'm the one always saying fork out the money for quality, but this looks like a good deal and very comparable to the $800-900 cabinets on the market.

Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

Blast cabinets aren't that hard to build. You can buy the gloves and blast gun, Paw Paw Wilson built his out of a file cabinet. I'd save the $250 for the compressor.

I bought a scratch and dent sale blast cabinet from harbor freight for $69. Had to seal it up with some caulking, but it works just fine.
