    I visited Harbor Freight today and picked up a little 6" palm grip pneumatic random orbit sander (one recommended by Jim Robinson) and a bunch of stick on abrasives that were cheap in bulk. I figure since it's raining too much to move things outside, and since I can flip the frame any way I need to for access I'll attack the flat surfaces with the sander, and if it does OK then the round tube is a lot less intimidating. I may blast it, or I may just go after it with the sander too! I've got time, regardless since I'm working for myself.

    Shine, that's an interesting observation on the pressure blaster. So once you trigger the flow you get a pressure drop from tank to hose, so you may need to adjust the tank pressure a bit but then as you work the tank pressure drops some..... Sounds like an ongoing balancing act, and having a big enough compressor feeding the tank is mandatory! Thanks for the insight!

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Been a long time since I've heard that one. Thanks for bringing that laugh back.
