Great topic as always and thank you for the warrior Christmas plug Lew!!!

Hey Lew, is Yoder sand blasting that bowl?

Yeah, sure beats sanding!

Thanks Lew.  Lots of Christmas ideas.

But wait, it's still sanding!

Lew that post is like the energizer bunny it keeps going and going and going. Funny thing a few months ago I bought a sand blaster cabinet at an estate sale. All it needs is the gloves. Always love Yoders ideas. Thanks for your efforts

I'll add my thanks, I know (not from personal experience) it was a lot of work to put together a post like that!
