Regain counter space - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

My random orbit sander was always in the way. Not any more and it is right next to my saw and is chair height. Pretty convenient. Sorry my shop is clean. It won't happen again!

Good job, will free up a lot of counter. Is it bolted down or do you just stick it on the counter when sanding something bigger.

Brill idea

Our counter space would be clear ... that is if hubby ever put anything away. I am a messy worker, but always put stuff away when I am finished. John peaks way before then. I have never found his thresh hold, I always clear up before he gets around to it.

Please can you come and tidy our shop - you seem to have the knack???

Now that's a great idea knothead.......do you have it hooked up to a dust collector or just move that hose above the bench when using it?

Smart thinkin' Tom. Really like the idea. Unfortunately I don't even have 1/4 of the workspace you have.
Looks like all you need is a collection of clamps like Evie. lol

Tom, Tom, Tom, how many times do we need to tell you, Dirty up your shop.

Great idea with the sander.

Oh by the way, How much do you charge for shop cleaning. It could be a Idea for an new business.

It is bolted down and all I do is hook up the vacuum hose and sand away.
