Cast Iron Bench Restoration
The cast iron bench project is progressing again. I recently picked up a siphon style blaster that hooks to my compressor. A much faster and much less smelly way to strip old paint from the metal legs.
The only down side is I have a really small compressor. So, I only can blast for a minute or so until the compressor cycles. I guess it's time to add a large compressor to the shop tools needed list.
This method is still way better than the hand stripping process. As a result, the cast iron shows clean. And it's really cool to watch the transformation as you blast away years of paint.
The bench is going to be awesome when I'm finished.
