i got a hitachi 15" floor standing drill press for $200 at lowes. if we can't stop globalization we might as well tool up with it. amazing quality for $200. i also picked up a tradesman vs 3/4 hp 4" belt 6" disc sander for $89. go figure
Uhhh......Flap.......... instead of a ball rasp in a hand drill I suggest you try the old indian canoe hollowing trick...........you know the one with the hot rocks and scrapers........it works better.
