Hi Bill. Welcome to NCWW. How about going out to the Who We Are forum and introduct your self. If folks know a bit about you they will be more inclined to help out.

How wide a drum sander Bill? I have a 16/32 you can use for a bit. I know what it's like to need to borrow a tool (thanks Amy)

I appreciate the offer, David. It is just an end-grain cutting board, about 12" x 15".

I don't have one, but I have borrowed time on another member's sander. I noticed that he goes through a lot of that abrasive cleaner, the stuff they sell at the big box stores and woodworking stores that looks like a big eraser. If I take anything else over, I plan to pick up one of those to leave there (hint, hint, :wwink.

Well the offer stands then, bring it over and bung it through, I have a variety of grits you can put on.

Bill, I don't have a drum sander, but I do have a wide belt sander if that would work for you. I'm about 15 minutes south of the intersection of US1 and Tryon Road, in New Hill.

Thanks for all your offers and input. Travis has offered to help me out. Since he is not too far, I am going to take him up on it. Thanks again.

Just wanted to let you know that Travis helped me out. He has an amazing workshop. You haven't lived until you have seen his aircraft-carrier of a jointer - unreal ! The thing is massive - as is most of his cool stuff.

Thanks again, Travis!

Yeah Bill, Travis is a great guy isn't he ? The thing that amazes me about his shop isn't what he has, but what he would have if space weren't an issue .:gar-La;
