A man after my own heart! Nothing flimsy there. My wife said that if
a tornado struck, the house may be blown away but my projects would
still be sitting there.

I think most of my projects fall into the category of crafts. I like curv=
es, more so than straight cuts or edges. I have been using a cylinder type=
mandrel and it's not too efficient for some curves. Those bowl sanders m=
ay work better, than my cylinder mandrel.

Cylinder mandrel; One is a (custom) threaded rod (stem), to reach further, =
in some cases. =20
And the latest rocker project (It's getting there. One rocker remains to b=
e made.), where that bowl sander probably would have been better for sandin=
g some areas.
