Very nice job Don.

What's that machine I spot in the background, a horizontal belt sander?

That's nice work Don, I love the lines. The legs being tapered on the bottom and curved at the top really got my attention.

Really cool Don. The lines on that piece are very well though out and very well executed.

I am still scared of curved work. Mayne that would change is I started trying some.

Keep up the good work.

Don,

I've taken some time to study all of your projects. All outstanding! You've got the design eye I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks very much everyone for the comments

Jojo, sorry for the delay in answering, sigh….

The machine is a home made stroke sander, not by me though. When I was doing a lot of solid case work it kept me from returning to an office job… as if I'd still be employable. Lots of sanding is BORING but it must be done correctly.

Even for things like door parts, I do the sanding before assembly and just be careful with the clamps.

To give you an idea, a dining room table top used to take the better part of a day to final sand, now it takes less than two hours.

Stroke sander

Cheers, Don
