Sanding is like smoking cigars
When I was in college I smoked 5 cent King Edwards. From there it was
White Owls at 10 cents each. When I went off to university there was a tobacco shop nearby so I got to liking 50 cent, 75 cent and even $1 cigars. That's when I quit. Couldn't afford it. Until I got hooked on turning, I was satisfied with sandpaper. It really looked like sand stuck to glue paper. On a rotating bowl, that stuff is poof and it is gone. I was ordering some better paper and found several brands that I liked. They had Mirka Royal 240 grit on closeout so I tried a pack of that. It was a new league of sanding. Now I am wondering about ordering some in other grits. It is about $25 plus shipping for 50 sheets. Maybe I should have stayed with cigars and forgot about wood turning. -- Gerald Ross Cochran, GA A man's got to know his limitations. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
