I am very fortunate to have grown up in an environment that was completely DIY, and to have been able to learn skills that not only allow me to fix / build things around the house, but also applies to my career in many ways. Making sure my sons learn and appreciate those skills is a big part of my job at home. I believe that they will each inherit different strengths, that week apply to their own futures. It's an awesome thing to experience

Agreed. Grimespace is like super dad or something.

Very nice of you to say, man

Wow - didn't realize how long I'd put this on hold...

Things got kinda busy back in May with the Vegas GABfest, school year-end, and now it's gotten HOT out here. Hard to get the motivation to go out and sweat in 110+ degree heat. Hoping it'll be a little cooler this coming weekend, so I can get my newest acquisition set up.

Ta-da - used Random Orbital Spindle Sander from Craigslist. Got it for $100 (new ones go $200 + tax), and it appears to be fully functional



This will see considerable use when I get back to guitar making. Might try cranking out some templates this weekend. We'll have to see...

Nice piece of equipment!

I know it's a grinder but, who cares?

I'm so 'Jelly' of people that can work with wood. I really have a lot of good skills but woodworking isn't one of them
