I'm going to be needing a bench top blast cabinet soon, anyone got one going for a song?
Locost DIY with a 45 gallon drum?
I think Frosts do a kit to build one.

I made my first one from a heavy duty cardboard box that our old tv came in. only upgraded to one made from chipoboard because I needed a larger one.
I use a £10 blast gun from an auto jumble and a bag of media from ebay, some of this was too course so i sieved it using a strainer from the kitchen.
^^^^^^^^^^^
Now THAT is the locost attitude.
Top skills there matey.

You could build one for way less than the 130 quid the frost one is. 35 quid for a gun some wood and bit of perspex and a light.
With the locost option I'd make sure you get a decent face mask. The dust can be very fine, might not be good for you long term health.
Same idea for the "extract" system you really need a hepa filter for the last stage of filtration on the outlet or vent to the outside
world, and a slight negative pressure in the blast chamber to ensure any "leaks" don't push dust into the workshop air. Or use just do
it outside in the "cabinet" with a face mask problem solved.
