I heard that too. We use glass beads. Pretty safe for most materials. I heard walnuts are good for outside work. As it's safe for the environment .
Ya dampness is the weakness too a bead blaster. Once it starts clumping, it's f'ed haha.

Yep that kills sandblasting too.......even using a tow behind compressor....no dryer plus high humidity and it's Ovah......just burning fuel.....
Put your glass bead blast material in a large flat pan, roast it on top of the wood stove, dries it right up!
Crushed walnut shell works good for polishing, not real effective on rust or hard paint, I have used it in aluminum and mag case saws for final cleanup.

Thanks Jerry . I changed the front cover. Long story short.... I f'ed it. so now it's not a dual port. But still looks good and the paint matched up nice with the OEM paint. was gonna put it on the saw but way to icy and cold to venture to the shed Lol
Clear n cold again, all the rain from yesterday now froze hard, slip sliding away!!

Looks nice i se where the the cracks were and you kept the gasket surface true and smooth. Are you pulling the baffle out?

Yeah 3 sled full of chip went in the fire pit before the pic. Chain was still sharp when i was done but my rakers needed to be filed down a few swipes.it didn't have the cutting depth i was looking for.
Got through the day, couldn`t tell how many times I slipped and slid on the ice that is everywhere around here. Spread several tons of crushed sand on driveways and residential roads, once the sand stuck to the ice tire traction improved vastly.!!
Try to get studs or screws in your boots for traction.
I have them in my chainsaw boots but for all other uses they would be too much of a nuisance.

What you've got as rain/ice we've got as all snow....it's been many years since the snow has been this deep in these parts....like at least 1978-79...my chimney for the cookstove is just barley visible looking straight out an upstairs window. It's located six feet down the roof on a 5 pitch and it's top is two feet above that ridge.... Driving around in my 4wd pickup it is rare that I can see over the snowbanks on the side of the road in protected areas.......at the top of hills or open fields where it can drift....ferget it....they have had to pushed back them with large wheel loaders like the Case 821E that just went up over the mountain by my house.......snowbanks are easily in the 16-20' range in these areas. There is no end in sight yet either....next batch Sun into Mon....then Wed/Thurs...temps staying low. Got a couple saws built for clients but can't test and tune.......haven't seen my test logs for two months and can't get into the woods at all short of snowshoeing........it ain't that necessary....
