Make Your Own Sandblaster and How To Use It

Step 2 Making the Sandblaster

The setup is a normal air gun, with a hose at a second attachment. This sucks in sand at a constant rate, via Bernoulli's Principle, like an aspiration setup in a chemistry class.

Find a bucket of sand for the hose to rest in. Find some good method to keep the hose submerged in sand, like duct-taping the hose to the side of the bucket so that it's always pointed downwards.

We just tipped the bucket so the sand was in a huge pile on one side, and stuck the hose into that. Even so, every now and then the hose stops sucking sand, which sucks.

Hook the gun up to any compressor hose.

   It is a good instructable. With this, you can work on window. You can draw very good pictures with the sand and air. You have to use plastic tape for save some parts of the window. Also you can workon the back side of a window to make some flowers on. Thank you.
