here is a recent project that I hope to complete tonight. It is all hard maple, 5/16" in 9" squares. It is difficult to work with, it is all glued down. Boy isn't remodeling fun!!!

Been there...done that...many years ago. Very much a pain in the behind to keep everything aligned with the slippery adhesive in play. Nice job!

try to get a ROS with three or more big random orbital heads and not the big roller drum.

I have only ever used the big roller drum machines and le-me-tell-U it ain't no fun when you get a divot.

I have a sander on reserve at menards. Hopefully saturday. It is by the Varathane Co. It is random orbital with three sanding pads. start out at 36, 50 then 80.

Man, that looks just like the Celtics old parkay flooring in Boston Garden, at least from what I remember. It's been a log time since I've had any interest for the NBA. Great job.
