I finally got a.......

[Ernie Swanson]

Much needed tool!

There was a spindle sander at menards on sale for about $40.00 less than normal price. I have really been needing one and my wonderful wife to be talked me into buying it

Now I should be able to do a little better work

 

[cappaletti]

looks great! I've been wanting one myself...

 

[JAWilliams]

They do work well Ernie.

I used it a bit this weekend and I love it. I dont know what I did without one.

 

[VaughnT]

Having seen your work, I'm wondering how you can get better?!

Good buy Ernie. You are right, they are very useful for handle shaping.
Got one as part of my "handle shaping station":

Vicious toilet seat with a sphincter reamer????

Felhoelter, how is a guy supposed to drink his tea and peacefully go to sleep after reading a comment like that? I'm laughing almost enough to fall out of my chair, but trying to do it quietly so I don't wake my wife and daughter. :-D

 

[Fellhoelter]

I would suggest starting by NOT using it in the aforementioned manner.

Unless that helps you sleep...

you guys are killing me

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but, just how advantageous are these sanders for handle shaping?

I like it, Works good for any radius in the knife and shaping the round.
