I met you at the Reno natl convention. I hope you = remember my demo of my hammer sander. Picture attached. I sold a few and now Mother Goose tools are selling them. There are many ways to skin a cat and I really don't want to see any of = them. I don't skin many cats these days. Even if Joe in Oregon hates = them. My sander grinds those puppies down to the core ( if you want to in jig = time), It can favor either shoulder or the strike point and you can do = it in 20 minutes in an upright action in a cradle. Easier for a grand. I provided a video tape (now obsolete) and now I have no incentive to = update it. =20 Selling to Piano techs is a hard sell. I'm opting out.
