Blasting my frame
Based on an earlier thread where the pressure washer sand blast attachment from Northern tools was mentioned, I ordered it and started working on my '51 frame this afternoon. These pics were about 25 minutes into the job. Very satisfied and had to snap a few pics. Once complete it will be sprayed with spi epoxy.

Keep posting pics. I don't know if you're planning on doing it or not, but using a large tarp to catch the media is a real plus. You can use a strainer and reuse it a few times.
I also used SPI epoxy, good stuff. Here's my frame.

This is very interesting. I have a outdoor pot blaster and beyond making a huge mess, I blow through 100 lbs of media in 10 mins (expensive).
What media are you using with the water and how much are you using?

Based on prior sandblasting experiences, this is much better because of no dust. It goes through media just as fast though. The media I am using is leftover sand from a local blasting company....they run the sand through their machine 3 times and after that they dump it so I stopped by and got a 55 gallon drum of free sand.
