I received this email:


Hi,
I was wondering if you guys might be interested in using some of this Western Juniper (Cypress Family) for furniture or interior design projects?  The attached photo shows some samples of the different sizes I hunt for in the woods.  Those in the photo have had the bark removed with a pressure washer, using regular faucet water.  A wholesale price list can be found here on my website. http://juniperguy.com/ 15 years in business. Thank-you for your time, Bruce.

Drum sanders are generally cheaper than belt sanders, but they have a real downside: whenever you want to change grits, you have to unwind the old paper, then carefully put on the new paper, winding it on. With a wide belt, you take off one belt and put on another. I don't have either, but realize that after having to change the paper once would mean I probably wouldn't next time. Like not changing a bandsaw blade to a 1/4" for a tighter curve. ]]> Mon, 14 May 2012 09:48:58 +0000 http://www.liwoodworkers.org/liwcforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2558&PID=9209&title=delta-drum-sander#9209 General : DELTA DRUM SANDER http://www.liwoodworkers.org/liwcforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2558&PID=9208&title=delta-drum-sander#9208 Author: cjames

Rob, Do a little research on your own first but it doesn't sound like a good price for that particular discontinued model. If you can get it a few hundred bucks cheaper it might be worth it but check to make sure it stays aligned. You'll need a dust collector...CharlieJ]]> Sun, 13 May 2012 13:22:09 +0000 http://www.liwoodworkers.org/liwcforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2558&PID=9206&title=delta-drum-sander#9206 General : DELTA DRUM SANDER http://www.liwoodworkers.org/liwcforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2558&PID=9205&title=delta-drum-sander#9205 Author: Guests

OK - this has nothing to do with the last meeting topic of violin-making, but I randomly
received a request for one of our members to make a cutting board in the shape of a violin. 
If you are interested, email me and I'll pass your number along to Suzanne Brodsky.
Thanks! Mike
Here is the original email to me:

Dear Mr. Daum,I am writing to you to ask if you might know of a someone who would be able to make a wooden cutting board in the shape of a violin. I did a search on the Web for woodworkers on Long Island and came across the Long Island Woodworking Club Web site. I used to run a graphics imprinting business and that cutting board was one of the products I offered. If you know of someone I could talk to, I would appreciate it.

That's more like, Charlie. I was starting to get a little worried you weren't feeling well.
As far as the templates go, scaling them down is easy, just use a smaller a pencil.
