	What type of disc do you use for the rough shaping Bob? Is it like a flapper disc, or what? Beautiful stock work, even at this early stages!

	Vall, the disc looks like shingles, overlapping each section. I use the 36 grit and stiff enough you can put lots of pressure on it if you want too. I know there is a rasp like cutter and would probably try one except our hardware store doesn’t carry it. For 3 buck each I just use these. One does a one stock unless the wood is rock hard. Normally the grinding takes me 15-20 minutes. But the day I did this one it was 10 degrees. I’m not know for wearing a coat, so I would work for a few minutes until my hands got cold, then go in, do something else and warm up. Took 2 hours using this cycle. Bob

	I did a lot of cabinet building in cold weather, so I know how the coolness can feel. I dunno how you guys up there can take much more of this. My hat is off to you (no need to doff yours in return- too damn cold!) But, I sure am enjoying the results here like I did a while back when you were stocking the Walker Hepburn. Super work on stunning wood.

I have bunches of those I use in metal fab work for years. They're what we call flapper discs. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)
