Try sewing thimbles?

Maybe you need to use some manly splines, instead of those sissy splines.

This last week I have been sanding the inside radius’ of bowls and since I am stuborn about buying those nice spongy things to sand with, (they cost a lot) I too have sanded off my fingerprints. I feel for ya depictureboy! I feel for ya!
Oh, for a real treat, with your tender fingers as they are, try replacing the sandpaper on a Grizzley drum sander…

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

hey karson…thats the problem, I used manly splines and needed sissy splines… :)

Charlie, how do you sew thimbles? And why would that help?
