Our One (Lonely) Sander and the Dream of a Sanding Utopia!

Our One (Lonely) Sander and the Dream of a Sanding Utopia!

Okay, we're gonna be real with you. This might sound a little ridiculous, but right now, our entire sanding operation hinges on… one. single. palm sander. YUP, you heard that right. We're talking a trusty (but tired) DeWalt handheld, rocking some 320-grit sandpaper on one side, a quick flip, and then BAM! The other side gets the treatment. We know, we know, it's not exactly high-tech, but hey, gotta start somewhere, right? Humble beginnings and all that jazz!

So, in our quest for sanding glory (and maybe a little less hand cramping), we took a field trip to Rockler! Now, Rockler was hopping – seriously, it was like Black Friday for woodworkers. They were super busy and a little understaffed, so we didn't get to chat with anyone, but that's alright! Just being surrounded by all that woodworking goodness was inspiring.

While we were there, our eyes landed on some seriously cool tabletop sanding options. We're talking the big leagues: Laguna and Jet. The Jet machines definitely had that "ooh-la-la" factor, but honestly, they were pretty much neck-and-neck price-wise with the Laguna. Now, these machines are a major step up from our lone ranger palm sander (think: upgrading from a bicycle to a rocket ship), but we're thinking it could seriously cut down on the time it takes to get our products into your hands. And let’s be honest, our hands could use a break.

So, the tabletop sanders are officially on our radar! We're gonna keep dreaming about them, maybe even draw little hearts around them in our notebooks. If the stars align (and our bank account allows for a little splurge), you know we'll be shouting it from the rooftops (or at least writing a super excited blog post about it!).

Thanks so much for sticking with us on this crazy adventure! Onwards and upwards! Let’s GOOOO!
