Sanding Paddles

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Garret,
Really, I never had any idea that someone else had the same idea.
I really got the idea while using Carl Meyer's electric knife sanding tool.
I could not get use to using the knife and found the paddles to be a much
more controlable method. BTW there are now three paddles 1/2" 1" and 2" with
a flange bushing cloth sizer in the 2" paddle. The handles are padded rubber
to reduce blisters <G>
