    Default sand paper in use rack

    had no computer for about 5 days and ground is to wet to do anything on farm so i been mucking around doing bits and pieces .
    anyway i made these racks to keep the sand paper and micro mesh in order of grit next to the lathe .
    also pulled all the handles off my very sad neglected looking old henry taylor chisels and sanded the old yellow stuff of them and gave them all a coat of BLO they feel a lot nicer in the hand now
    p.s. the computer problem which i was sure was the mother board done a couple of caps ( its getting old i built it about 5 years ago) took it to toowoomba today special trip cant be without the puter , turned out to be so simple i feel stupid not picking it up , all the problem was was an internally stuck contact in the keyboard it was making the machine do some weird things
