Found Rio Bravo on archive.org so I'm downloading it to ad to my watch list.

Only thing to add is unless you already know your neighbors you may want to restrict how much you shoot really loud guns, 100 yards of woods doesn't deaden the noise much. I have a backyard range and have never had a complaint but I don't shoot early in the morning and anything bigger than 9mm I try to restrict the amount I shoot at any given time. I have invited several neighbors to join me and a one has a couple of times. I'm on a 1/2 mile dead end road and I know of at least 3 other ranges. Most everyone on the road shoot so that helps too.

I usually just go outside. There are many kinds of blasting media and you may want to try a few to get the finish you want. Crushed walnut shells is one if the more gentle. One advantage to a cabinet over outside is it captures the media for reuse and you don't have to wear face protection while blasting which is usually and over the head hood which can be hot in the summer time.

Not sure what to say about this one.

May not be a good answer but if you don't find a willing person in your area you can setup your own small sandblaster relatively on the cheap. They make a small hand held unit that works pretty good for small jobs, a bunch of them are available on Amazon and at Harbor Freight for $25-50. I have one that I have used for years. The expensive part is an air compressor to run it. To get a compressor to run even a small sandblaster gun continuous can be expensive but smaller units with a storage tank can run for short times than wait for pressure to build. You can make an auxiliary tank out of an old propane tank to run in series with the tank on the compressor to get longer run times. The bigger tank lets you blast longer but you wait longer to start again, so get as big a compressor as your budget allows. Used compressors are another option.
