Lumberjocks Contest Winner

Tuesday February 9, 2010
As mentioned last week, the Winter 2010 LumberJocks Woodworking Contest has ended, and the winning entries have now been announced. The top winning entry is a pretty interesting project, but the story behind the project is especially poignant, given the surrounding event in the news recently.

Personally, I really liked the runner-up entry best. However, there are a lot of inspiring pieces here, and a couple that gave me some ideas for some projects of my own.

Check out all of the winners (and the stories behind them) at LumberJocks.com.

Bosch ROS20VSK Random Orbit Sander Review

Sunday February 7, 2010
Bosch ROS20VSK Random Orbit Sander The Bosch ROS20VSK Random Orbit Sander is a 5-inch (8-hole) sander that uses the standard hook-and-loop sanding disks. It does a good job of sanding quickly, and has variable speeds from 7,500-12,500 oscillations per minute.

However, there are a couple of features that allow it to stand out from competitors, and another item that I think could use some improvement.

Learn these advantages and disadvantages of this sander in the About Woodworking review of the Bosch ROS20VSK Random Orbit Sander.
