Great work!
What kind of blasting/media cabinet do you have? What media do you use?
I purchased a Badboy sandblast cabinet (factory photo) off of Craigslist and number of years ago for $200.

A local anodizing company had it for less than a year and didn't feel like it was suited for continuous commercial usage due to upkeep. When I saw the ad there was no picture so I thought I was going to look at some worn out cabinet I could refurbish. When he pointed to this cabinet I questioned the price and he said, I want it gone!
For media I use a combination mix of Aluminum Oxide and White glass beads. I order this from Zorro, it's not cheap but lasts a long time, makes it easier to see in the cabinet and does a great job removing rust and paint.
