Making sandblasting cabinet
I have seen on the net using a dishwasher to make a sandblasting cabinate. Steel interior and a big door that allows larger parts. Has anyone tried this and if so what are the drawbacks or other advantages? Any other suggestions would also be appreciated.

My buddy did this using an old electric range. It was more trouble than it was worth IMO. Another buddy built one using some ¾” plywood and 16 ga. steel sheet metal screwed to the interior of the box. Endless possibilities going this route –and- it looks a heck of a lot better sit'n in the corner of the garage than a hacked-up old dishwasher.

There is another IMPORTANT issue when building your own or even assembling one that you buy. If it is not tight enough to hold water, it will leak media like a sieve. BTDT.
Good luck,

one thing not to scimp on is the window glass. you don't want sharp glass breaking in your face. a good tempered glass or polycarbonate should be used.

YOu can get laminated glass like the stuff windshields are made of and that should work fine. I'll assume you know that you can get plastic shields for the window so you don't have to replace the glass every 10 hours of blasting.
