Default Sandblaster + Noob = MESS!!!!

Thought I might take one on the chin tonight and give you old timers a chance to laugh a little (and possibly remember back when...). I picked up one of those small sandblasters that attach to the compressor. I think most of you have seen them, nothing special just connects to the compressor and then has a dipper that plunges into your sand container. Whelp, I got it all connected and was super excited to test this baby out!!! I opened the garage door and put the part I wanted to clean on a small bench out side of the garage thinking this was smart because I was outside. Well I was outside but had ZERO idea how much of this stuff bonces back off the metal! After I admired how well the part was coming out I turned around and was I suprised. The whole garaged was just covered with this black beauty sand! Like all over the freak'in place!!! Later that night my wife came upstairs after looking for something in the garage and asked me if I did something in the garage because there was this black sand all over and in everything Guess next time I do this outside with the garage door closed

Get yourself a small blast cabinet, it will save you in the long run on.

If you have a leaf blower, use that starting at the back of garage and work your way out the door.
I use the leaf blower instead of a broom now as it is done in two minutes.
And you can blow the dust off things too as you go.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
