Before building our bead blasting box, I checked with Bill for any last minute
updates on his design. He suggested that instead of building his we should
check into a design offered by:
TIP Tools & Equipment
PO Box 649 Canfield
OH 44406-9984,
Phone 330.533-3384
Fax 330.533-2876

These folks kind of specialize in abrasive blasting equipment and supplies.
We ordered Cabinet Plans #6600 for $7.50, built it with a few modifications
and have been quite happy with it.
We also got all of our supplies from them. Their prices were fair and their
service has been excellent.
Regards,
Del
