Speaking of knife making, have you ever heard of Tim Wright?

He's an ex-Chicagoan, and a friend of mine.


No, but I have now

I like his work!

This looks pretty handy if you wanted something bigger for only USD80

  The size of the shaft and bearings would be the only things of interest to some people!

Hi John,

Yes!  You never know what one might use this for - and I'm sure I'll come up with something - LOL!

 

In fact, I'm considering this to assist in shaping my smaller aluminum pieces for my chassis!

 

My fingers get cramped at times! ! ! !

Sometimes you gotta just get the tool first and hope the right situation comes along...

Hi John,

 

In regards to the belt sanding tool you referred to:

 

 

 

For a little over a hundred bucks, it seems like a good deal for just the parts, let alone the assembled machine plus the power supply and 10 belts. 

 

It's now an even better deal at just under $32.00! ! ! !

 

with "FREE SHIPPING" Wow!

 

I need to get one now LOL!

Thank you.

 

Ernie

You guys just wait and see.

 

Thanks.
