The Gladiator Germanic shoutout was fantastic....well played

Yep, great tips... The only one of those I don't keep next to my machine is a good stiff brush, but that's only because I never thought of it. I will for sure start, today (I have a bunch for cleaning the guns I had, before "I lost them in the unfortunate boating accident"). Another thing I can't live without is my rechargeable air blower (like the thing you would use to clean a keyboard, IE, air in a can... but this one is USB chargeable). I use that, if I am not using dust extraction...

Your grandfathers shop is spectacular!!! Loved the vid! My #6 must have is noise cancelling headphones with a decent soundtrack of my favorite music! Stay frosty Kevin!

Add in a thin metal 18" ruler and we've covered about all the tools lingering at my machine. There are others nearby of course.

As a kid we used to nip off the ends of a Red Vine and use it as a straw for our Dr Pepper. I, ahem, heard that still works.

Calipers are TOTALLY like glasses..too bad they don't sell them at the dollar store so you could grab a handful every time :-)

[enricodesign]

amazon - Sanding Detailer Standard Kit, Coarser Grits, 24 piece…

[ModernDayWanderlust]

Real woodworkers don’t sand at all, they use a finishing plane. 🤓

Having said that, my set of sanding detailer sticks and my sanding mop are clutch and speed up finishing pretty dramatically.

How dare you hate on Horrible Freight bwaahaaa

Never seen 330 grit. 320 is quite common.
