Whats a orbital sander? My guess is a plug in sander thingy with a bit that spins, like in orbit? Impressive name.... Dont you restore furniture and sell it and stuff? Enjoy! :D
oh, I get ya betts. yeah nah, I'm an old hand at the sanding gig. learned long long ago to take things softly softly. spesh antiquities!
orbitals don't spin, wilms. that's a disk sander (which are not for the faint hearted, nor antiques). orbitals just have a 'vibrating' rectangular pad, to which one applies .... sandpaper :D
I restore antique furnishings to keep, mostly, though if a freebie falls into my lap and it's something I don't need, I'll certainly move it another step along the recycling trail. on that, I've recently moved a few items along that had me all :o at the prices peeps are willing to pay for the right stuff. that's the key though ... the right stuff. there's a whole lot of wrong stuff out there, and I spose that's where my years of furniture collecting/obsessing pays off. I can spot the diff :)
So what exactly does this mean?
ReplyDeleteThis is an oppportune time to remind you, Ms Buttocks, that "less is more" sometimes.
ReplyDeletetotally, betts! but in this case it advances the cause of recycled furnishings. you see what I did there? noice :D
ReplyDeleteBIQ - see above. it means I can sand better, which means I can restore castoffs more adequately, thus saving the planet :p
I was referring to the sanding. It's very easy to get carried away with those powerful devices.
ReplyDeleteTake it from someone who's been there.
