I'll start. Vertex AW on SK Fiber TT75R shaft. Cleveland Launcher HB 5W on UST 55 Gold R shaft.

Tried it with a shaft that’s in my irons, Nippon Pro 950 NEO shaft, I love those shafts in my irons, didn’t really care for that combo with the T-rail.

Just reshafted the T-rail with a Hzrdus Silver hybrid shaft that I play in my 2 Paradym hybrids. We’ll see how it goes with the new shaft 🤞

Getting ready to paint a set of bead-blasted ISI before shafts come in. Added some whipping to my Mashie Niblick.

Giving that tumbler a workout! 😁

These were bead blasted by Ken Martin (Facebook PingNut). I'm not sure what media I'd use to get that look. Suggestions?

Glass is what I use.

Blasting beads in the tumbler?

CallMeAl

sdandrea1

Uhhh...No. I use the sandblast beads to give that "Frosted" finish.

Built another set of Acer XV 5-PW. DTG FGS Plus shafts that I've had for a few years. (no pics, sorry, too damn lazy)
Such weak lofts I took the SW out of the bag in order to use the PW.

I don't have a sandblaster........

Thanks. I'm such a rookie at this.

I guess you could try glass beads in the tumbler...Who Knows?!?

I've used sand and the walnut shells. Just kind of mehh. Glass beads should do better than both of them. Might give them a try myself. 🤔

That's all I've ever used for years in my sandblasting cabinet.
It'll make an old iron face look like new.
Also works to prep a metal wood before painting or powder coating.

darpar I was referring to my vibratory tumbler use.😉

I have the hose, gun/nozzles, gloves, media, etc. from my blaster, but stupid me.....when I walked away from my job, I forgot the cabinet. Have never taken the time to build another. May be a winter project.

Opinions on this? (Not epoxied yet?

It's a beauty!👍

It seems I can get a 40gallon bench top sand blasting rig for $125. I might have to indulge.

$155 on Amazon.
Keep in mind you need a compressor that will keep at least 90PSI (for easier operation).
And as always with any of these cabinets, buyer beware/be warned. They may need some 'home fixins' to be sealed properly.

sdandrea1 you will want a compressor with a large tank. Especially if you want to do a lot of blasting.

CallMeAl

Alright Then...Epoxy In!

Based on one opinion? From the guy who likes outrageous colors? 😵‍💫😂

I've got a pancake compressor that will handle it, I think.

I added a small shop vac to mine,after about 10 sec. of bead blasting you can't see Jack because of all
the dust created inside the cabinet....a well aimed external light is a must too!
