It's adjustable and needs to be monitored carefully with every use.  I'd like to have fancier tools but just don't have room for them.

I completely wore out two of those ridged sanders before buying my 80” edge sander and spindle sander….and…. I built a lot of bows with em too….they work just fine…..

but…. After you get a big edge sander you won’t believe the difference. I can’t imagine being without it now……. It will come in time…

Well today I had one repair project after another. Our oil furnace went down and I had to tear into that first… I found the problem rather quickly fortunately. I hit it on the first you tube video too… Wow! That’s gotta be a record. So I got the part on order, and fired up the wood stove. Of course the freezing level is dropping the next few days…. It figures…. Right?

I noticed you have a wood floor in your shop. Is that hickory flooring?   Kirk

It is Pine flooring. Can’t find Hickory over here since they were making wooden skies. The little I have is from an old ski factory that shut down 50 years ago. The owner had some saved, lucky for me. Sure wish I could go to a wood store and pick out a nice straight Hickory board.

I have that same Ridgid sander and also bought a WEN spindle sander from Amazon. The ridgid was not square but the WEN was.  No matter what I tried, could not get the Ridgid square as it went up and down. The WEN is also easy to make into a Non-oscilating sander out of.

Something about curly maple. When I see a stunning piece or two, I have to have it whether I need it soon or not.

I finished a few turkey trumpets and strikers for the guys at turkey camp.

The excitement is building. 😁

Nice turkey trumpets. What are strikers for? No wild turkeys over here.
