Thank you Bryan.
I for one have a few questions to ask.....
I did not realise you had a belt sander as well as the i think its called stroke sander with the adjustable table. Having viewed many of your postings i have only ever noticed you using the stroke sander and you had me sold on the merits of that machine being the be all and end all of sanding.
Is it a substitute for having a wide belt sander and if not why? Why do you have both if you dont mine my asking. Note i am nowhere near your level so i am looking to understand the different purposes. You seem to get so much use and more out of the stroke sander and the fact that it has that adjustable table. While on that topic could one say put a object as in piece of furniture under the stroke sander at full extension so as to be able to say refinish the top of say a bedside table without having to remove the top or as an alternative to using a handheld tool or do i have the totally incorrect idea about it. You have had me thinking that with its adjustable table as a feature on its own even for hobbiests as we get older this would be a great tool given its adjustability in working height.
Next i see you have a chop saw situated on the table saw. Is this a "semi permanent position" and if so how does it factor into your opertating procedure.
Jim Bradley has brought up the issue of task lighting and my observation is that you a specific task light for just about every operation on every machine. The video dwell time did not permit seeing which lamp fixture you are using all over the place is there a specific one you use or is it whatever you get your hands on. Would you share a few picks of how you have these mounted in their various locations please. I am nothing but frustrated with my Delta magnetic base type.
Last point do you find with the density you have going in your shop that you can work without frustration with regards to handling material around the machines.
I have recently decluttered my shop of "good junk" and the difference is amazing. I dont have anywhere near the machines you have but it has been like a breath of fresh air having some space to move in. I have seen your work and been wondering watching the video how you get buy. Where do you keep your wood or do you only procure wood on a project specific basis.?
Thanks for the video. Would have liked it to be more wide angle and dwell longer. There is a ton to learn from a guy like you.
What you have forgotten i still have to get to.
