Random fact on this rainy Wednesday afternoon about where the art of sandblasting originated from. The idea and patent for sandblasting is brought to us from Benjamin Chew Tilghman who was born on October 26, 1821 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Benjamin was an American Civil War volunteer captian. After suffering from a wound to his thigh during the Battle of Chancellorville he was later sent home to recover. During his recovery like most people he had a lot of time on his ha...nds and began to recall the beaten falling paint off of windows, doors and exterior of homes that he has seen over the years of travel in the desert with the military. Legand has it that this is how sandblasting became of. Benjamin filed for a patent in 1870 for sandblasting along with several others throughout his life. Benjamin Chew Tilghman died on July 3, 1901 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. See more

Another project out the door. This particular client did not want me to sandblast or paint his tank end. He just wanted me to cut and fabricate a flat bottom for a waterfall he is making. Keep checking back for my next up coming project of a fire pit and grill on wheels for my next client! #sandblasting #metalfabrication #smallbusiness #shawneeok #shawneeoklahoma #ShawneeSTRONG #mediablasting
