Sandblasting booth... Jack?

Brian <cornbeltroute@...>
 

Jack,

I purchased the same size and type of Sterilite plastic storage box you mentioned in your RMC article, "Building a sandblasting booth" (February 2012 issue). Ran into a problem cutting arm holes, though.

The plastic seems flexible but, I discovered, splinters easily. It wasn't long before I had trashed the box. I'll get another. What I'll try next is a 1/4-inch hardboard round pattern attached to the box with double-sided milling tape. Perhaps a gentle, continual tracing around the pattern with a No. 11 blade will do the job.

But first, thought I would ask you how you cut your box.

Thanks much.

I suspect that I used a paper pattern. But I did cut the hole with a no. 11
