Re: sandblasting

Mike,

Often on eBay you can actually get what looks like a spray gun 
attachment with a ceramic nozzle and instead of paint in the pot, 
yep you guessed it, it's sand.

I've never used one but I did think about getting one, as they're 
quite cheap.

See http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?

But it you haven't already got a compressor you might as well send 
them somewhere to have them done, it would probably be cheaper. 

Aslo if you put in some elbow grease, wet'n'dry sandpaper will bring 
those pipes up nicely, then I suppose you have to lacquer them.
