So I've got quite a few of these under my belt, but I thought I would ask if anyone here has done lots of these to see if I can learn anything new and slick.
I was debating on whether or not to get a Legacy mill, but the price really turns me off. I'd be in close to $2k with router bits and accessories for the entry level model. I could get a brand new planer with Shelix head for less than that. Sheesh.
So my usual method is to do the turning of course, then carve the bines, followed by tons of tedious hand-sanding. I hate this part. I've been using a Porter-cable profile sander, but the sandpaper only lasts a couple minutes and then doesnt stick to the rubber block after a while. In short, it's a PITA. Man, that just made me hungry for a Gyros sandwich dripping with tzatziki sauce. Oh man! :eek:
Any tips?
