A PVC frame, clear vinyl 'clothes pinned' over it, dust collector to suck out the dust, pipe extension on hose to allow blasting through the tent wall. Sand retained for reuse by sweeping it up off the floor. Cyclone will catch larger 'dust', a secondary paper filter will catch the fines.

In actual use, I will expand it a bit, set it up over the frame, blast a couple feet. move it down, repeat. No safety gear required, so I won't need to worry about the helmet mussing up my hair. ;^)

I bought 100 pounds of White Alox abrasive, but it seems to make as much dust as silica sand. Or more. And costs seven times as much per pound.Alox is supposed to last more trips through the system, but making that much dust must mean it is breaking down. Maybe I'll try some Black Beauty next trip to the sand store.
