    This is where I think Wayne was trying to send you. http://www.ocoochhardwoods.com/ I wonder how that is pronounces.

    Yes the ones I used, don't know where the wife got them, are junk. Very soft wood and kept coming apart. I was able to get the job done with them, but I will get some better ones for the future.

    Beautiful job! I have a friend that drives a Studebaker Hawk that era, that he restored. Pretty neat car. He also had an Avanti but for some reason, did not like it.

    The guy puts up a picture of Cary Grant and says it is a self portrait..... Nice try, Kevin. Really a nice self portrait. Great work.

    Looks like it does a very nice job. Great idea.

    I am gluing up a detailed fret piece that has sections the need to be glued together. I was wondering how I was going to clamp the pieces, I did not have any real small clamps. Then I thought of something. Wood clothes pins. I ground the ends down on my disc sander so they would fit in the small spaces and it has worked great. Here is a picture of one clamped section. I stood up one of the "clamps" so you can see how I sanded it. It only took a few minutes to sand the ends of 10 on the disc sander. I don't know what my wife will say when she discovers some of her clothes pins are gone.... She rarely uses them anyway.

    I like your Hummingbird and I also like that site. Saw a lot of things that would be fun to make.

    That is a real nice sign for a workshop. Is that your pattern?

    Very well done!

    Those bridges are really nice. But, put me on the "don't eat raw fish side". Cleaned too many and saw worms in them for me to eat raw meat.

    That is a gorgeous plaque, Dick, so very well done. I still think you people that jumped or still jump out of airplanes are a little on the crazy side!! The plane would have to be burning hard and someone pounding on my fingers to make me let go before I went out of a plane that was still flying....! Hats off to your grandson, he is very brave. Sure miss our visits......

    Well done.

    Some times I use a "backer" but most of the time not. Do take some care though, a while back I was sanding a lot of small pieces, I think it was pieces for the Alex Fox jeep, and I actually sanded my thumb nails so thin that they are just not getting to where they are not sensitive to touch, do not break real easily and I had my skin down to where one thumb was bleeding. I guess if a person was going to commit a crime, it would be a good way to sand down your fingerprints, so they could not be detected!!

    To pretty to hide under a plant pot. I vote hang it on the wall! Very well done.

    Thanks, been working on it a couple weeks as I get time. I'm really not trying to show the piece here, I trying to show how sanding mops work even on very fragile pieces. I will show the finished piece in Bragging Rights when it is all completed.

    There has been some discussing here lately about Sanding Mops. I thought I would just share a little of why I like them. I have three 7" X 2" ones, 120, 180 and 240 grits. I mount them on my little Delta lathe when I use them. I am working on a very fragile piece, of fretwork, 1/8" Baltic Birch. I have finish cutting it, and I just finished sanding it with all three grits. I was able to get a nice sanding finish, removed around 98% of the fuzzies, soften edges, and did not loose a piece. I sand every direct of each piece, ending up sanding the final pass with the grain. It took me less than an hour. I just do not know of any easier way of doing it, no a way to get a better finish. Yes, they are expensive, but they do last a long time. Heck sand paper is expensive and I have never had it work as well nor last as long.. This is not glued or any thing yet, just laid out on a piece of glass. Okay, I rest my case.... beat me up....
