You could run your small air chisel off that compressor, there is a regulator to dummy the air flow.
If a large ship, barge or bridge needs repainting the old is sand blasted away first. The lettering in headstones are sand blasted in, the letters are stenciled out of a rubber mat the exposed lettering gets cut into the stone.
Using a small shop compressor you can make a stencil to cover a plate of glass where you do not want to cut lettering, You see this type of etched glass where a automotive logo has been cut into the rear window or the glass doors of a neighborhood pub.
The old method to etch glass was to use hydrofluoric acid, very dangerous stuff best left alone.
Another method is to chip the glass using hoof glue, you can get creative on the cheap.
Ahh yes we were discussing air compressors, the guy in the video is sandblasting with a very large compressor.
