One step closer to my production shop
« on: March 26, 2011, 11:13:23 AM »
Two major moves this week.  First, I talked the wife into a concrete floor for the barn.  Now I can set up a "dirty" shop for heavy sawing and sanding and a spray room!!!  I'm even gonna put heat out there.  Now we're talking!!!!

Also picked up a lightly used Sand Flee sander with all of the accessories at a nice price reduction.  These things are great for large surface sanding jobs, like a bass!

Yep, room for a dormitory!  This one has the direct drive.  Very smooth and surprisingly quiet.

Oh yeah!  Beer and tele, the perfect combo.  I'll have to install a stove for heat too!

Good news about your shop.

From what I've seen of the Sand-Flee, it's good for fine sanding, not for removing much material.

I agree, but it sure will be nice to run an entire body over it for finish sanding and have it smooth and level.  An improvement for sure.

A handy thing to have around or sure. I think Spray (aka Carlo) is making one on wheels to lease out to the state for leveling concrete roads.
