a friend of mine set his HF(?) cabinet outside to do some blasting and it still created an unholy cloud of dust

so watch it with the neighbors

I have a 136 year old house with lots and lots of painted woodwork..... Trust me, a little lead in the soil is the least of my problems

I like the big Rubbermaid tub for recovering some of the media! Then I can pack all of the blasting items (minus the compressor) away into the tub when not in use. I like to compartmentalize.

Ok I'm completely onboard with needing a larger compressor, but what's the smallest I can get away with while using something like that 40# Harbor Freight pot? Something that won't require a near-constant duty cycle.
