  1. This brings up a question I have had for a long time but forget to inquire. How many of you folks in the know, use a sandpaper cleaner block? I've always thought about buying one but for some reason I never have.
  2. Not me. I would probably cut my finger off.
  3. Me neither. I have enough trouble following directions/patterns.
  4. You must have put the fear of God into them. I just went through all 45 pages of their stencils and didn't find yours.
  5. Is your work copyrighted? If so, I'd drop them a letter of warning. Not something to be taken lightly.
  6. Did you make your own or just redo some of the commercial sanding strips? I've seen somewhere that folks have made their own by gluing the abrasive cloth to the sides of an old saw blade. I've not tried it yet but I don't see why it won't work.
  7. I just found this on a FB scrolling site. Looks like something to do that's out of the norm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcEP0OAl7QI&fbclid=IwAR1GN4MZUlAZA5iEBqHKuOSLwcA9pUGI2wFdOvwrc6EQ7Hv5yrBwLfDNM30
  8. It is going to be interesting to see which one of us survives this time of crisis. She's mad at me because I stopped saying "what" and just clammed up. Lol.
  9. My whiskey of choice is Canadian Club. My Dad loved Seagrams VO. What does that about us? 3 fingers of CC over 5 ice cubes leaves me feeling mello. After shp time. Not during. Oh, we like our wine too.
  10. My Excalibur doesn't. Call Ray at Seyco. He'll help you.
  11. Never tried Jameson. The stuff I drink is strained through a sock. But I like your solution.
  12. Give yourself some credit Dick. You do some awesome work too.
  13. I was just thinking of starting with the wood ball and then wrapping it with the foam and velcro to soften it. Experiment a bit.
  14. Fantastic job. Very well done.
  15. Very nice Dick. She'll love and appreciate it. I'm sure.
  16. I've got 3 sizes of those in red. I haven't tried them because I didn't think they woul"sand" as much as polish. I'll give them a try. Thanks Les.
  17. Too flat. No contour. But interesting.
  18. Glad ya found it Don C.
  19. Tom, I went to that site and read/downloaded the whole article. I'm going to give it a try but I think I'm going to go a different route just a bit. I got to thinking about the round wooden balls that can be bought a craft stores. Different sizes. I'll flatten on place on each size ball and drill a hole into it and thread the holes to accept a piece of 3/8x16 cutoff bolt or all-thread. From that point on, I'll follow his instructions for adding the craft foam and velcro. I think it will work out great and a heck of a lot cheaper than the $45 for the ball and another $15 for a pump. Thanks again for the link.
  20. That looks terribly painful. I remember when you did that. Ouch! Is right.
  21. Thanks Tom. I will do that. I did read some reviews on that whole system and there are just too many unhappy users for my liking. I decided against it. Maybe your tip will be the answer.
  22. Thanks Les, I appreciate it. Gives me confidence to move on to the next task.
  23. Les, I've never used any of the BB plywood. What thickness do you recommend buying? I can get either a 5x5 or a 4x8 and they will but it to order. They have 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4. If I had a boatload of money, I'd buy a sheet of each but I don't so I'm asking.
