Sandblasting Fun
Technical Direction Tidbits: "One of the current projects I am working on involves sandblasting. I had originally planned to job the task out, but for a variety of reasons, we made the decision to do it in house."

This looks like tons and tons of fun. Sometimes I wonder why we don't end up doing any sandblasting in our shop though it's really a messy and complicated process in terms of safety. It's cool to be able to relate to how cool it would be to use this method to treat scenery. I was hoping to see some close ups of the before and after.
This makes me want to try out sandblasting. Although it is useful, it would be much less work on my part to just have the professionals do it. In a major shop I could see when this is useful and cheaper than having to ship and have someone else do the job for you.
what would we ever need to sandblast here? seriously.
i can't think of anything. we've got grinders and flap wheels and plastic caps. they're much easier to use. and nothing is ever going to get that close to the audience that they'll see all the little weld beads and screwheads...
I agree with bward, I can't really think of why we would need to sandblast anything. Sanders, grinders, etc, do a fine job of finishing for our needs, and they are portable and require very little work to set up. Sandblasting requires infrastructure, equipment, time, and significant expense. I think that the level of finish we need does not require all that effort.
