$10 DIY sandblaster made from scraps

Pretty clever using the gutted spark plug for a porcelian nozzle! The pressurized pot used here is an excellent design as well.

That spark plug trick was amazing, definitely adding that one to the mental roster.

Certainly ain't no $10 diy LMAO those fittings aren't cheap maybe $150 diy

Don't forget to add the cost of a respirator. That's absolutely crucial if you're using natural sand as your blast media.

$10 worth of gas, $5000 in equipment, $200 in fittings

[Limpi]

I believe it's cheaper than any sandblaster you can buy, but adding everything together, its definitely more than $10.

Sweet I'll give ya 10 bucks for it 🤣

[royvan]

Yea it’s 10 bucks if you have all the materials and you count them as 0 because you already have them hahaha

My dad built one like this out of a propane tank and plumbers fittings years ago. It worked well.
I learned at probably age 14-15 how to cover full-body with proper clothing to make sure not to get sand in places that you didn’t know you had.
I also had to lay tarps out to collect and then re-filter sand to reuse.

Spark plug is the only thing that is $10 around here

[Tonyholmsify]

Oh and couple thousand bucks for tools and few hundred hours worth of experience 😂

Man this channel shoud be bigger, honestly. im not trying to downplay the success they've accomplished, but the creativity and effort in their videos deserve more recognition

[bingbing-tirv]

Everyone hatin' on them talking about how it'd cost more than $10 etc, I agree, $10 tag was prolly for the YT title, but hey, even if it costs 100-150$ in brass fittings & ressources, it's still way cheaper than any good sandblaster on the market!
Gotta admire the skills and creativity even if the title is a bit clickbait.

Finally someone on YouTube understands the concept of 3 legs instead of 4. Big thumbs up 👍

If you already have the equipment and if you're a handy man, then it's a great idea. It looked great & appears to work well.
If you had to buy everything new, you'd be better off to just buy a new sand blaster.

Great to have Garage54 shorts!!.
Many thanks!!. 🙏🙏🙏

[dandahermitseals]

You can't begin to build that for $10. Every valve on it costs more and it all asds up way over $10.

[mindingownbusiness]

2 of those fittings are 10 bucks. He is using like 15

[betrayer]

Wouldn't recommend do a DIY pressure tool unless you are a professional and know what you are doing.

Super smart crew. Many recycled parts for FREE! I think a lot of folks have noticed the use of of a spark plug insulator to act as the ceramic nozzle. Brilliant!
