I agree with both of the previous posts. I will add this however. While a pressure pot and a serious compressor are ideal and preferred. You can get by with less. It will go much slower and be way less efficient. A cheap siphon type blaster ($12) with a smaller compressor like the 100PSI craftsman(used$30-$50) will work. I would further suggest you build a small blast cabinet from plywood, HD rubber gloves and the back window from a small truck cap rear window. USe the media suggested above or softer depending on what you are doing. This will get you going on the cheap, but trust me you if you have the money, get a big compressor and a pressure pot. I don't blast anymore as all the years welding, blasting, and the superman complex have made my lungs inefficient.

I really like the overseas box idea
