Spatula How To

[Tom Smart]

Very cool! Tell me more about the drum sander on your lathe... homemade?

No sir, Woodcraft. Just got it for this project. Use a Jacobs Chuck in the head stock. I’m finding it a bit difficult to mount the sandpaper and keep it mounted. It has a key to lock it in, but depending on the grit/paper thickness I’ve had to add tape to the key to hold the paper. If I was a rich Dr. I’d have one for each grit.

I get so darn excited about some of these projects, no wonder I have a stack of stuff not completed.......

Yeah, I have some smaller ones that I used in my drill press Tony. None were big enough for this, however.
