I got a little work done today.

Very nice. But you ain't getting away that easy. Let's hear about the process. First, sandblasting, then.....

Glass beading is the smallest medium I can use in my cabinet.. I have a soda blasting unit on my wish list...

Check this out Jim. You may have the materials on hand to build one and it might tide you over till you get a soda blaster.
