Belt / Disc Sander - 13 replies Ok Lumberjocks, I never thought I would have a use for a benchtop Belt / disk sander but after attending a Shaker box workshop it appears I do! What are you using? Any features to look for? The only one I’ve looked at is the Ryobi BD4600 for $114 at the orange big box. Can’t say I was impressed. |

Biscuits - 7 replies Well Lumberjocks…..It appears as though my biscuits have swelled! Sounds painful but I can assure it is only annoying. I guess the plastic bag I had them stored in wasn’t good enough. I read somewhere that you can put them in a microwave to dry them out. Has anyone tried that, or have a better idea? How do you store yours? |
