I am tickled to death with how she looks! It'll be a joy to own her and shoot her for many years to come. Thanks, Marty!

Now, Marty, after a year and a half since this thread originated your shop has changed quite a bit.  I'm curious, do you do most of your sanding on the Rigid belt/spindle sander unit for the prep and finish work or do you still use your large sander and the small vertical belt sanders as well?  
I keep eying those Rigid combos but $ is tight and I am a skinflint.  I keep thinking to just buy the 3"x3" drum sander to attach to the drill press like shown in these pictures.

A blast from the past!

I do pretty much everything the same now, except for the drum on the drill press.  My Rigid combo unit gets lots of use.  I grind riser blocks true, grind overlay pieces, sand fades, and do most of my riser shaping with it.  Probably my most valuable tool!
