[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 13892, member: 82"] Perry - shipping from the USA to Australia would kill me :) but when i start building the blaster i sure am going to start looking for options. I know i can't use beach sand, i use ilmenite (spelling) in my hand held blaster that works well, not sure on the price these days. I honestly don't know if my drive is the same as an 853, but i would suspect it would be very close, just larger parts. I did read the other thread and threw in my 2c worth. I did point out anything can be fixed, just depends how patient you are... A good example is my 743..... It took a lot of time, but in the end it was totally worth it. As for the blaster, my dad has found an old LPG tank from a forklift and also one for a house. I believe the one for a house will be a tad large, when full of sand no one will be able to move it! Even the smaller one i believe will weigh a bit. Ken - can you provide a picture of the nozzle? i hoped to make one out of carbon steel and heat treat it, even if it didn't last long i'm sure it would get the job done. I still don't know how it is done inside, i sort of have an image of a cone shape in my head that makes it speed up as it gets to the tip. The hand held one i have simply has a nozzle about 4” long with a small countersunk hole at the base. [/QUOTE]
