[Woodworkers] Dirty Wood

[Ron Odum]

Absolutely..Tomorrow my bud will be here..Since my compressor is somewhat
anemic  I've got one of the Big 40V leaf blowers.. Blow the paint off the
wall. 😃 One of us sweeping and another blowing.. Outside..  Then I'll
stack it on the outside rack and run thru the Performax drum sander before
I use it
after it dries. Figure that will get rid of any residual crud and anything
else that accumulated. Thanks.
