When I sold my biplane I tucked away enough to get a blast cabinet. Been leaning heavily toward this one at TP Tools:

(well anyway, I can't seem to link to it now) It's their 1436 46"x36"x34" cabinet with the heavy duty dust collector. I figured with the door extensions it's big enough to get the fenders or doors from an AD in. Having logged thousands of hours in front of blast cabinets in my lifetime, good lighting, a well sealed cabinet and a GOOD dust collector are at the top of my list. And it doesn't hurt to have a compressor that can keep up with the hole in your hose. All of this is a formula for a pleasant and profitable afternoon of sand blasting.
Now all I have to do is get up the nerve to call for a dumpster to haul away my two decade old radio collection, and make room for a blast cabinet and Rotary lift. I'm done working on the radios, and the Airplanes and the "Hanger" from here on out is gonna be called the "Auto Shop".
