Went to the shop yesterday for the first time since well before Christmas. A friend gave me a box of cut-offs from a variety of exotic woods and I thought I'd make a set of custom grips for one of my target pistols. I bought this sander a while back and decided not to bolt it to the bench so I could move it around. Well...it moved!!! I learned that wood ain't all this little sander sands!!!

Ouch, Neal that looks like it was enough to actually stink up the shop.
You make a good point about bolting equipment down, everything in my shop is bolted to a bench for a few reasons, one being the safety aspect.Todd

I've been bit a few times like that myself. My worst problem is when I am driving a screw with my power drill and the screw tips and the driver bit bites my thumb. OUCH!

If you take a look at the pink spot on the first joint of my thumb you'll see it's not the first encounter I've had with that little beast!! Just healed up from that one and wrecked again!!! Guess I'll bolt it down and wear finger protectors like Cathy Wise does. Maybe her last name is more than a coincidence!!If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!

Nothing some superglue and a spritz of accelerator won't fix!

I use my bench-top belt sander with 180 grit paper to remove dried CA glue from my fingers.
I just don't turn it on!Last edited by Woodbutcher68; 01-05-2007, 03:24 PM.Fred
There's a fine line between woodworking and insanity, I'm just not sure which side of the line I'm on!

Yep!!! Ruger MK2 Competetion Target. I have a lot of good ol' American greenbacks in the trigger alone in that little pistol!! I don't shoot animals anymore but I love poppin' holes in bullseyes just for recreation. I don't know what kind of wood it is...possibly Cocobolo. My friend uses a lot of that in custom pool cues and recurve bows that he builds. He gave me several nice pieces of various woods but unfortunately I didn't ask him to identify what he gave me. I have a nice little 9mm Beretta parabellum that I want to make some custom grips for also. First time I've tried that particular kind of woodworking and it's nice to build something both functional and pleasing to the eye for a change.Last edited by Neal Moore; 01-05-2007, 08:28 PM.If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!

by keystonecopThe original pattern was 7 1/2 x 13 1/4.. The book has no mention of resizing on all but one page. My guess the magazine and the book side of fox has no one who scrolls.. the last books have shown that. enlarged I had to use a #1 blade for many cuts. If I had just copied the pattern in its silver...

by will8989I think he is talking about the size of the patterns lately and extra steps needed to copy and resize them. It took me an hour to copy the fish from the latest issue with all the folding, cutting to match, tape, repeat. If it had been letter or legal size, I could have copied and resize with less hassle....

Reply to Peanuts #1by millwabIDK? I remember that Ben sold Pegas blades, but the label on this package just says "Ben's Blades, Ultra Thin Puzzle Blade". When Denny started selling Pegas blades I asked him and he told me Pegas doesn't sell a specific "puzzle" blade. The 2/0 might be their answer....
