jsteele22, It's a fine line between cheap and frugal (smile). You mean like giving the purse to the wife as a Christmas gift ? Honey, I got you a new purse Why is it full of sand? What good, nevermind. *SMACK* *THUD* Ohh.. a wallet! I think i'll go get me a purse! *groan* |

Hi Mike,
I have lead shot in one of mine and it is heavy! If you get the low silica sand you should be OK with sand. I use something called green diamond abrasive. It is supposed to be low silica. Another option is to use a thick rubber pad or multiple layers of leather to absorb the hammer blows instead of a sand bag. I used rubber wrapped in leather for my homemade metal shaper. See attached picture. The same principal as fender stretching. I just realized this picture shows it before I changed the shot dolly out for rubber wrapped in leather. Oh well, you get the idea.
