I'm wondering what you all think of something like this: http://www.wenproducts.com/store/sander/4x6Belt-Disc-Sander-Item-6502

Wow. Even more impressive to know you made the pattern. Again, great work and thanks for sharing. I hope to share some of my work one day. Kee up the good work!

Wow! Each picture looks better than the next! I am new at this but your skill is very impressive and inspiring. Where did you get the pattern for the medical school graduation? I have someone in nursing school set to graduate this spring and would love to make them something.

Thanks guys. I forget to mention that I do have a handheld variable speed random orbital sander. It works great and I use it in most of my other woodworking. I suppose I assumed (incorrectly?) I might need something else like a belt sander, disc sander, Dremel multitool, etc to shape pieces or help flatten a stray cut that is supposed to be straight.

Hi Everybody! I'm just getting started on this adventure in scrollsawing. I have my a Dewalt 788 and a good mixture of Flying Dutchman spiral and reverse tooth blades. It's more than enough to get me started. But I am curious how important/useful you think it will be to eventually invest in a sanding machine and if so, which one? I'm leaning towards the Ridgid oscillating belt/spindle sander. I'm assuming this will come in handy if I get into segmenting/intarsia, or for basic sanding of shapes and projects. Any words of advice or recommendations on a sander? Am I right in thinking that I can get away without one for some time?
