Sanding Saw

For those of us who collect homemade sanding blocks or need to sand around corners and curves, may I present to you this homemade bow sander.
This bow sander is great for tight, curved places and works from both top and bottom.

Maybe your great grandchildren will look at yours someday and ask, “What was that thing for anyway?

No doubt others saw this sooner, but I think I finally figured out the visual appeal of your tools. The contrasting woods, chunky oversized features, smooth edges, visual simplicity - they share the aesthetic of high quality handmade wooden children's toys.

Here's a comparison of wooden children's toys, and your tools:

It hit me when I was researching a recent post about the 1938 Minneapolis Moline UDLX Comfortractor. I was reading that these tractors are in part so valuable because they look like giant children's toys, and that aesthetic is irresistible to grown men:

Thank you very much Jon, it's a very beautiful comparison, I hadn't found that similarity. Thanks for sharing with us with those photos!!

Beautiful work Mike

Robust design and a 100 year warranty.
