Just completed my Maple picture frame (posted in projects) and I sure learned a lot from it! The finishing really gave me a hard time, I think it turned out fairly well but would have liked it a little smoother.
On to my next project – a Mission style couch table.

Hi All,
I posted some details and pics of my workshop today as well as some projects.
I completed my first project recently – a headbaord for our guest bedroom. I’ve made some picture frames and working on a more ‘deluxe’ picture frame now.
I’m going to need to jump in and look for some answers soon, the questions are starting to pile up!.

Performax 628900 Mini 10-Inch: $499.99 on Amazon with free shipping, reviews state tracking problems.

The hardest dust for me to breathe is the fine stuff that comes out of the orbital sander. I have used the Porter Cable Model 333 for about 10 years now, and have done a lot of sanding with it. I am sure there are better, more expensive sanders, but I like it, at least so far.
Here is a photo showing my collection.
The one I bought two years ago (gray one with yellow tinted lacquer overspray on it) is now dead, but I keep ...

Has anyone seen the sand flee? Its kind of a neat drum sander. They have a video on their website. http://www.rjrstudios.com/ I have also seen a very similar kit for sale that allows you to build your own drum sander that is identical to the sand flee. It is here. http://www.stockroomsupply.com/ Both sites have nice video, and they both seem to operate the same way with hook and loop paper. They work by using the paper rising up off the drum through centrifugal force. I like this ide...
