In this video I show how to make a sandblaster and use it to dig fossils out of rock. Check out my sponsor, Skillshare! The first 500 people will get 2 months of Skillshare for FREE: https://skl.sh/nighthawkinlight
This project was quick and easy, and can be scaled up using larger tubing for a full size sandblaster. The small brass tubing used in the video was 3/32" (2.38mm) in diameter, which was about perfect for baking soda or sand as blasting media.
