One step closer to my production shop

drbassman · March 26, 2011, 12:13:23 PM

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.
