I have ordered everything in that I need to start power sanding, and the only two things ordered that have arrived were the Beall Buffing set up and new sandpaper from Kilingspor. Vinces stuff hasnt arrived, nor has the drill from HF, even though it was all ordered the same day....oh well it will come.
My back is still killing me, I laid down at 8pm and did not get up until 10 am, still alot of pain but I was able to do some stretches today in the shower that helped. I stopped taking pain/muscle relaxers yesterday (making my stomsch upset) and I think that led to me sleeping so much.
So this morning my wife siad I couldnt stand at the lathe I needed to walk or move. Well she is at work but I was doing some serious dancing at the lathe to keep limber LOL! I still cant bend to see what I would like while working and I was desperate to try and powersand, so I yanked teh sanding head fom my Sorby and broke out a drill. Man what a difference! I was able to almost effortly sand out a white oak NE in no time! Thanks to teh posts here and those taht made recommendations because the sanding part was driving me away from wanting to do a ton of bowls! I will post up a picture in a bit when the first coat of oil dries. I cant wait to get better pads in here to go at it again!
