What is a drum sander?
A drum sander is a particularly awesome woodworking machine designed to sand and finish large wood surfaces on a mechanism similar to a thickness planer. Drum sanders are available in a variety of sizes from 10″x20″ to 26″x52 inches. This means that although the sanding belt is only 10 or 26 inches itself, the machine has one open side which allows you to pass your panel through once, flip it, and pass it through a second time. You can beautifully sand or finish an entire piece (up to 52″) in just two passes. Within the drum sander the sandpaper moves on a continuous loop (like a planer) through a sanding drum. The abrasive sleeve is cylindrical and turns with motorized power on a cylindrical slotted drum. Drum sanders have a height adjustment to allow for around four inches, give or take, of thickness to be passed through. Operators adjust the machine’s feed rollers, and height to accommodate their materials, then simply pass the wood through. The looped abrasive sleeve sands or finishes the material as it gently moves or pushes it out the other side. Most drum sanders offer pretty simple sand paper changes and deliver great results with much less bulk and much less price than a wide-belt sander.

Dual Drum Sander:
A dual drum sander has two sanding drums. This allows operators to use two different sanding belts with different grits. This means you can sand your panel with a rough grit and it finish with a fine grit in the same pass; a wonderful concept - sanding and finishing simultaneously. The dual drum is a bit more expensive, but it does save a great deal of time and energy.

Oscillating and Non-Oscillating:
Most standard drum sanders are non-oscillating, but don’t let that get you down, they still perform with surprising smoothness. Oscillation technology is relatively new in drum sanders. The oscillation provides more movement in more directions for a smoother, finer finish to your products. The drum pushes the material forward and the oscillator moves the abrasive belt from side to side. This additional motion delivers a seriously smooth finish in much less time.

Pricing and Brands:
Drums sanders range in price from anywhere between $400 and $2,200. The more expensive models tend to have better dust collection and anti-vibration technologies, but most specifically, they are just bigger to accommodate bigger panels and larger projects.
Jet/Performax makes an awesome single drum sander, Steel City only manufactures a dual drum while Delta only makes a single; Powermatic makes a great dual drum sander. All of these are great brands to search for when looking into which drum sander best suits you and your professional needs.

Some drum sanders can be compact enough for a bench-top, while others are closer to the size of a washing machine. Because of this variety, craftsmen of all calibers and with all shop sizes can be satisfied and accommodated with a drum sander. This machine makes sanding and finishing a much easier, much cleaner, and much quicker process. With a drum sander craftsmen, carpenters, and woodworkers can be confident in their projects and products. Happy crafting!

I understand the random concept of an orbital sander. However, due to the random direction of the sanding motion, there should always be as much cross-grain sanding happening as there is sanding with the grain. I never understand why you don’t see any cross-grain marks.

Using a web 2.0 account creator as a part of your internet marketing efforts can be an important asset to help reduce some of the tedium associated with web based IM strategies. Working with a different account and or profile of sites / suites is the best way to go if you plan to establish a legitimate long term business model. Does that make sense to you?

No one is an expert on everything yet an internet marketer needs to display at least some knowledge on a topic in order to guide a customer to the correct vendor or product. The problem is that if you are guiding people on the topic of polar opposite topics (which can reasonably happen) it is impossible to maintain credibility with either side target customer when you are brokering deals on both sides. Hence the need for multiple yet separate IDs.

This is where an automated web 2.0 account creator comes in extremely handy. A good web 2.0 account creator will not only setup accounts for you at all the popular social bookmarking and other web 2.0 properties but will also store the usernames and passwords in separate profiles for you allowing you to manage multiple campaigns. The ability to manage multiple programs is a must for any serious internet marketing professional.

The next phase of using some kind of profile management is the ability to do automated logins to the various accounts, thus saving aggravating keystrokes, lost passwords, and mis-placed mouse click and or mis-typed URLs. If you are anything like me, you find wasted mouse clicks very frustrating.

Custom Closet Doors

Beth Sanders asked:


When I was a kid, all we had to do was walk across the street to go visit grandma and grandpa. In fact, grandpa had a barber shop on our street, Loveland Avenue, where I got my haircut. The barber shop had hundreds of Old Farmer’s Almanacs on a big table and usually two or three men (who, I might add, came in with no hair and went out with no hair), sitting around and chatting with grandpa as he worked away. Grandma could usually be found in the backyard weeding the flower beds, in the kitchen baking a cake, or upstairs sewing something. For some reason, even a bowl of cereal tasted better at grandma’s house. On Saturday night, we watched Lawrence Welk together and on Sunday morning we all sat together in church—always in the 2nd pew back on the left hand side.

            My grandparents taught me many things in their quiet, humble way. Looking back, here are some of the things my grandparents taught me about the Christian faith from their life stories. These things also apply to

Psalm 71: 14-18

But as for me, I will always have hope;

       I will praise you more and more.

My mouth will tell of your righteousness,

       of your salvation all day long,

       though I know not its measure.

I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign LORD;

       I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.

Since my youth, O God, you have taught me,

       and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.

Even when I am old and gray,

       do not forsake me, O God,

       till I declare your power to the next generation,

       your might to all who are to come.

 It’s about the people in one’s life. Many people are savoring the opportunity to capture what they remember about the generations who came before them. They want to not just tell their own story, but the story of people who never had the chance to tell their own. Their parents or grandparents lived through tough times and persevered nonetheless. One LifeBio writer said that the process reminded her of all the love she had experienced in her life from her parents and grandparents.

            It’s about saying, “If I did it, so can you.” We all know people in our families who have lived through very difficult and complicated times. They have been affected by the Depression, wars, the civil rights movement, and just the everyday trials of daily life. It’s helpful and inspiring to know that, despite difficulties, they persevered and made it through. With their strength and inspiration, we can make it too.

            It’s also about giving advice and passing on values. People recording their life stories have a chance to answer challenging questions that help them share things like get a good education, follow your faith, work hard, and keep your commitments. Plus, people’s words of love to their families practically jump off the page.

            It’s about a journey of self discovery. Where have you come from? What have you learned? What’s next in your life? We see the “big picture” when we look back and reflect. This helps clarify where we’re going next and helps to direct our path.

 How I wish my children could cross the street to their grandparents’ house. Today it’s not uncommon for grandparents to be states or countries away from their grandchildren. They may have retired in a distant place, or, perhaps, college or work caused younger family members to relocate. Even if we aren’t right around the corner from each other, there are still many ways that grandparents can impact their children and grandchildren through making a conscious effort to tell and share life stories.

What should you do when your children or grandchildren are moving away from the family’s tradition of Christian beliefs?

A 2007 Barna Group study finds that only 63% of Americans ages 18-41 identify as Christian whereas that number is 77% for people ages 61+. The continuing shift in the trend points to perceptions that young people have toward Christianity. Although some 16-29 year olds surveyed saw Christianity as having good values and principles and a friendly and respected faith, negative perceptions were that Christianity is judgmental, hypocritical, and old fashioned.

So how do you communicate to your son or daughter or grandchildren that you feel the Christian faith should not be rejected? How do you overcome those negative perceptions and help them see that Christianity is relevant for your life and for their lives today? Here are four things that should be part of your faith story:

1)      Record on paper who the people are who shaped your faith. Demonstrate that following Christ has been your family’s heritage for hundreds (if not thousands) of years and rejecting the family’s beliefs should not be taken lightly. Tell them about your parents and why the Bible was important to them. Write down on paper for your children and grandchildren the fact that their great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers were followers of the Christ too. Perhaps your family history shows that relatives migrated to America to escape persecution and gain the right to worship Christ in their own way. Give them the gift of your family’s faith history.  

2)      Record in writing how you came to believe. Was there a memorable moment when you accepted Christ—either as a youth or as an adult? What questions did you have and what answers did you find to your doubts? What Christian songs or hymns were or are your favorites? How did you experience God’s love as a young person? Why was Jesus someone you wanted to follow then and now? Perhaps you’ve shared your faith background before with your Bible study or your Sunday School class, but it’s critically important to share your testimony with your own family too.

3)      Write down situations where you’ve seen God working in your life—in good times and bad times. It’s important for your family to see that your life has been profoundly different because you experienced more love, more hope, and more peace as a follower of Jesus Christ. You see the beauty of the earth as God’s incredible creation, and you see your children as beautifully and wonderfully made too. You’ve had a special purpose that you’ve fulfilled through the years, with God’s direction. You’ve had very tough times and somehow you’ve felt God’s presence as a constant source of strength. Perhaps their lives have been impacted because you have prayed for them and seen the prayers be answered (sometimes in a way you didn’t expect of course).

4)      Capture wisdom and truth, from your own unique perspective. It’s time to show that the Bible is truly the book of life and “The Great Story” and the Gospel, or Good News. Share your favorite scriptures and explain why you like these passages so much. Relate the Biblical story to your own story in a real way so they may realize the importance of God’s word to the Christian faith. The Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, and Jesus’ commandment to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself are good ways to live our lives today. These are not “old fashioned” ideas but radical ideas in a world where hate and evil are real. Make sure you make it clear that you love them and God loves them too.  

Telling them about why you believe is one way to pass along your thoughts, but recording it in a lasting way on paper may be a better and more lasting approach. After all, the Bible is the very best example of a recorded legacy that explains our Jewish roots, the life of Jesus Christ, and the life of early Christians. If it had not been written down, it would have been lost or forgotten. The same is true for your own faith story.

Alex Ariel Sanders asked:


Everybody is always talking about the newest healthy weight loss fad in town. The common denominator is we have to eat fewer calories to shed a few pounds off. The thought of eating less calories usually brings the fear that we will end up being hungry or deprived of our favorite foods. Losing weight is just one of the benefits of caloric restriction (CR). It has also been supported with necessary evidence that there are additional beneficial anti-aging effects of caloric reduction in one’s daily diet. One of the most important dietary knowledge that has captured the interest of many is how to slow aging with caloric restriction.

Fewer calories do not necessarily mean less nutrition. This idea is about making the body eat right. The best way to start this is not by lessening how much is being consumed by the body but by modifying the kind of the foods taken in. Actually, the highest nutrient values can be found in fruits, vegetables, grains, salmon, tuna, trout and beans. They have lesser calories and high nutrient density.

Lessening the consumption of calories has been found to be effective towards having a longer life. There is also the absence of certain illnesses that are related to aging such as heart disease, hypertension and dementia to name a few. This is proven through modern experiments conducted on primates and mice.

In studies with experimental animals, when the brain regions responsible for cognition and memory were measured, there was a significant difference in the amount of atrophy of the brain tissues. In animals on caloric restriction, there was less atrophy as compared to the control group of animals, which was allowed to consume as much as they wanted. As a result, the control group that was on unrestricted caloric intake was showing the obvious signs of aging such as atrophy and other diseases. A 30% caloric reduction resulted in slowing the aging process by 30%-40%.

In general, the average human male consumes over 2600 calories per day. This is just an average number. There are no magic numbers for determining the precise number of calories that we should consume if we desire to slow aging with caloric restriction. People come in a variety of sizes, and have different metabolisms, meaning that some need more calories just to survive than would be enough to bring on obesity in others.

To get a good look at how caloric restriction affects aging, take note of your average daily calorie intake. Create a database for one month to determine your solid average caloric intake. On the following month, reduce your daily amount of calories taken by 5%. It is important not to make the body feel hungry in the process. The secret lies on the kind of food being consumed. Choose lower calorie foods that are high in nutrients instead of the high calorie foods that are presently in your daily diet.

Visit your doctor and ask him to work with you on this one. Initially, a baseline should be set for your cholesterol, fasting blood sugar and blood pressure levels. On the following month, the caloric intake should be reduced at another 5 percent. At the end of the month, the measurements should again be noted down. This is done month after month. When you see any clear improvements on the statistics, you can be assured that you are effectively slowing the aging process your body is going through. The reduction process should continue until the changes stop. This indicates that you have reached the calorie intake level you need in order to end up with a longer and healthier life.

It has been scientifically found that Resveratrol, which is a compound found in grape skins and red wine, can mimic the anti-aging health benefits of caloric restriction. Studies at the University of Florida revealed that “the effects of low doses of Resveratrol were comparable to caloric restriction, the hallmark of life extension”. It is never too late to get a head start on providing your body with the conditions it needs to live a longer and happier life. However, if restricting your daily calories by 15%-30% seems too hard, then when why not consider Resveratrol? Should you get healthier and slow aging with caloric restriction or Resveratrol? It is your choice.
