Engraving glass via a blast cabinet

I am trying to set up shop to do glass engraving, I heard the best way is a blast cabinet, anybody know what would be the best thing for me to get?

Hi, Jonathan. Glass engraving is out of my depth. But when I visited the Waterford factory they indeed did that frosty looking engraving and backgrounds for pictures by blasting.

I think you need a tool with a very narrow pattern to do fine engraving this way. Good luck.
