I was just getting ready to construct a cabeint for sand blasting some

steel

parts, complete with top angled plastic cover and rubber glove inserts.
Seems like if I seal it well it would be fine for welding the titanium

plate

as well.

 Hi Doug,
I did the same made a stainless steel cabinet with glass top and pop riveted
it together with silicone. It sure turned out great but a little heavy and
expensive.
My bother in law came over and said he made one as well, out of ply, I said
that would be no good as the blaster would destroy it - he said no problem,
as he lined it with rubber matting. His was very cheaply made compared to
mine and a lot lighter.
Live and learn!

George: I didn't even cover the plywood. I think it took a couple of years
to wear it down enough to worry about it. Didn't even think about rubber
matting. Simply built box with sloping bottom back to media collection area,
put glass pane with piece of screen over it to keep from getting too crazed
for me to see through, duct taped cut off truck tube to pair of welding
gloves and called myself a sand / bead blasting nut. Didn't try and do no ig
welding in it though. <g>
