General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: oscillating spindle sander

« on: July 01, 2011, 02:17:07 am »

I went another way, but I don't think it's an option any longer.  Visited a woodworking store in Tampa one day and they had an old model Delta drill press accessory which turned the drill press into an oscillating drum sander.  It uses a cam to raise and lower the quill.  I use the drums which have slots to take traditional sandpaper instead of prefab drum sleeves and have had great success with it.  I have a variety of the drums from quite small to 3 inch by about 6 inches long.

I'm sure she considers it VERY cool!  I think it's a great demonstration of imagination and your desire to make someone happy.

Really nice pattern for the sign!  Years ago my wife had a Siamese that liked to hunt.  She was asleep in bed one morning when the cat brought her a present and dropped 1/2 a mouse on her chest.  Funny, she didn't seem all that grateful for the gift!

One advantage of getting a little older.  The eyes don't pick up the details as much.  Remember, around every silver lining is a dark cloud!

I love cutting puzzles.  Mostly standup animals, but I once took a really good picture of our Grandaughter at a wedding.  It was a lucky shot.  Looked so good I attached it to a piece of plywood and turned it into a jigsaw puzzle.  That looked so good I built and oak frame around the puzzle.  It was a real treasure.
