Photobucket Over at Lumberjocks when you post one of your projects you receive feed back from other Lumberjocks. For me this was a vital part of my woodworking journey. Not only do you start to feel as if you know these people, you end up really looking forward to what they have to say about your projects whether you receive constructive criticism or you get compliments, which for me has been a great ego booster and allowed me to be able to feel alright about posting my woodwork and making this blog about it. Martin the creator of Lumberjocks has added a way to place links of your posts on your personal blog. So I am now going to place the link to the items that I have posted here AND at Lumberjocks so that if you wish to click on it, you will see what other Lumberjocks have said about my particular project. If you are a woodworker and have not joined Lumberjocks yet, this may just be the push you need when you read the wonderful comments from this great group of people! And if you do join, please tell them Allison sent ya!

Sanding spindles and sleeves

5/07/2009

Like I wrote in my last post I have such a small shop every little bit of area is sooo important. What you see here is an old totally trashed night table someone was throwing away. I am sure you can see I never tried to clean it up.

What I have done with it however was simply take a piece of plywood and place a bunch of dowels on it to hold up my spindle sanders sleeves. On the other side I also took a piece of plywood and drilled some holes. This is where I keep the spindle's themselves.

 The little single drawer you can't see is filled with extra's of all, along with my drill bits. I have this placed right next to my floor model drill press. This comes in really handy in this small area I work in as the nightstand is small. It sits behind the drill press up against the wall where nothing else could really go. I saw a tip like this once in a magazine and just threw it together. And ya know I think I will keep it just like it is.
 Sure I would like it to LOOK better, but by God it does and works exactly like I wanted and needed it too.
