I have one that is a portable blasting cabinet. Yep....a blasting cabinet!!! I cut the side out of it and covered it with a replacement face shield, caulked it in place after riveting it to the bucket. I took a old heavy cotton shirt sleeve and cut it off at the shoulder...I took a piece of ply wood and made a collar for the sleeve and attached that to the lid after I cut a hole in it for the sleeve to go into and also drilled a small access hole in the lid for the air hose. I used a mini sand blaster with aluminum oxide to "etch" the glass of my turkey calls....I even went so far as to sand blast designs in some of the glass...not many though.

I'd like to see a picture of that if you could.. That sounds handy in a SHTF situation.. |

used a 5 gallon bucket today to scoop chicken poop out of the chicken coops and collected it in the bucket. kind of like a "garbage can" use....but slightly different since it's not actually garbage....it's BROWN GOLD!!!

I got the camera charging right now for Trace's Orange Belt Karate test tomorrow and I'll take some photos of it and the sand blaster...I got to looking a few minutes ago and it's not a 5 gallon bucket but a 7 gallon bucket....a 5 gallon maybe a little small...but it would still work. |

They are good for storing sleeping bags in too. Keeps out mice and you can throw them in the back of the truck.
