Do you remember those moments when you've just discovered a new tool, jig or technique? The ones that make building much more enjoyable, faster, easier and/or better? I think all of us that have been building long enough have had several of those moments. They probably still bring a smile to us when we think about it.
I thought I would start off with a couple of tools that have really made working on the sides of ukuleles/guitars so much more enjoyable. I'm almost 68 so it seems like a lot of the things I think about are those that made the process of building physically easier.
So here goes:
1. Motorized Dish Sander - I got so tired of "Driving the Bus". My shoulders and arms got to where I could barely lift them. I love this thing.
2. Rolling Pin Sander - I used to dread sanding the sides dead even and smooth, again because it was just too darn time consuming and physically hard. Now I can do 95% of my side sanding in about 10 minutes.
So there you have it. Please chime in with your discoveries if you have some that you love.
P.S. - I have no idea why two of the photos are rotated.
