CD1 Sandblast Cabinet
Plans and More!
This is the one that started it
all. Originally put together for the members of some news groups.

This CD
is full of interesting stuff! Articles from old magazines,
Pictures of interesting stuff (like the 15 original pictures
of the
USS COLE I took while she was in dry dock), plans for building
all kinds of things for your shop, and lots more.
A partial list follows:
Besides the article on building the
sandblast cabinet (with complete measured drawings!) there is:
- A 9 page article on building a 20 ton hydraulic press
- A complete army training manual titled Fundamentals of
Machine Tools
- Five original photos of my rural mailbox called a
BatBuster
- CAD drawings of a hossfield type bender.
- An article on building a Cinva Ram. This is a press for
making bricks from mostly dirt and a little cement.
- 15 original photos I took of the USS Cole in the repair
drydock at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, MS (The
Cole is now proudly back in the water)
- 11 original photos I took of a semi truck that burned to
the ground, literally! It is a good example of the heat
produced by diesel fuel and air, the aluminum parts
melted and puddled on the ground!
- An article on building a tracking solar collector that
produces STEAM! A sidebar to this is plans for a small
sheet metal bending brake.
- The Magnolia Metal Bearing Book, among other topics is
how to pour Babbitt bearings and Babbitt hammers
- Plans for a receiver hitch adapter to help you carry long
items in a pick-up bed
- An August 1953 article from The Model Engineer on
building a horizontal surface grinding and milling
machine
- A July 1954 Popular Mechanics article "Milling arm
for Drill Press"
- An article on building a truck mounted hoist (cherry
picker)
- An old article on making a shop made air/diesel fuel
torch that can melt cast iron. It starts out "For
safety, economy, ease of construction, and intense heat
the air-diesel torch has much to recommend it. The one
illustrated uses about 1 gal. Of diesel or stove oil an
hour, and the air supply may be almost anything that will
supply a pressure of from 40 to 300 lb per square inch
through a 1/16" hole. The torch carries no fuel
under pressure, has no insurance restrictions, cannot
explode, starts without generating, and if the heat is
confined, will melt cast iron."
- An article from the internet called "Making
Insulating Castable Refractory from Common Material"
Plus, a few other odds and ends just for grins.
