I like Klingspor, the gold kind. It's available in clothback as well. As for 3M, I can't comment.

After reading your post, I thought "Does he mean to say he Can or Cannot get it "Down Under"? Watching the advert., I thought "This ad seems to be geared towards "Amer-glish" vs "Aus-glish" or "NY-glish" for Joe). (Are those "words"? They are now!) Thanks for sharing the info about that 3M product. (By the way - do any of ya'll know what the 3M stands for/used to be?)

He would say making a hollow twist in his high school class was the biggest challenge and now he can make them in no time on the legacy. The shoe shine method was the only way I could see it being done. Regarding Stuart's methods, they seem to be the one I learned in shop and in fine woodworking articles. It's tedious work. He came to our woodturning club but I had others that thought they where more important. It's something I do regret. I don't know if I'm too inspired to try making some, but I guess my life with Legacy won't be complete until I've made one or two :-) Thanks for all the input. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: Dexter Bland To: Legacy Ornamental Mills Sent: Friday, August 12, 2016 8:48 AM Subject: Re: candy dish Yes, Tim there is lots of sanding on doing spirals. Due to cutting into a cylinder, you are exposing a lot of end grain that is not easy to get smooth. A good sharp router bit is best to start with as smooth a cut as possible. Most of the spiral turnings that I have done were before I added a motor so I just sit in a chair and sanded all by hand. With the wood being Walnut, that makes the sanding even more difficult because that is a pretty "hard" wood. I have resisted getting a sanding mop since it is something I would not use that often and the sandpaper you use on it could not be used on any of the other sanders I already have. I already own about 6 other kind of sanders. OK Mike gives the most practical suggestion of using strips of sandpaper to "shoeshine" the turning while it is still slowing turning on the machine. Sanding is the most un-fun part of woodworking, but a bad job will show like wart on your nose when finish is applied.

Is there a lot of sanding involved when doing a twist? I'm guessing the quickest way would be to use some cloth backed sandpaper strips and go up the grits. Can anyone please share some experience here. Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
