Vancouver Island sounds like a good vacation destination...Haven't been out of the States since passports have been required.

Just sneak over the border and back in. They're porous. (At least down here in San Diego they are. :mad:)

Don't know. Just a rookie woodworker. I'll let you judge for yourself.

Post by nuhobby »

Look at this one.... especially the amount of sanding and polishing that was done... reminds me of mickyd's Mark V handles:

Man oh man, the guy must be INSANE!!! (in a good way). What a beautiful result. I'd be willing to bet the guy parks out in the boonies when he goes places with it. Just can't picture him stuffing it into the closest parking spot. Phenomenal!! And I only had to do about 10 square inches.

Buying 12" sanding pad

Post by navycop »

Where is a good place (other than SS) to get the sanding pads? I looked on Woodcraft website and they only offer 10".
Mark V 520, Ryobi 12" mitersaw, Delta 10" tablesaw, DC 3300.
