Title: Operation Drum Sander - Complete!
Post by: Vitas Cricket on February 06, 2014, 04:42:29 PM: (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BfzT1XxIQAA7Z8j.jpg)

Ryan sold me an old inflatable drum sander during our last forum event. I must thank him and John from Red Ink for providing lots of help during my lengthy construction process. I needed a lot of advice on what to buy, how to set it up etc. But i have finally got there. :)

I do quite a few bat refurbs, but until now i had some fairly rudimentary tools.

I have quickly sanded down 2 bats with my new setup and i am delighted. Anyone attending our second forum event on February 8th is welcome to come upstairs and have a look at my new toy.

As per my tweet, to celebrate, until February 15th we are offering bat refurbs for only £10 (for a basic refurb: sand clean, polish, new grip and scuff sheet) for bats that are collected from us after the job is done. Add a nominal £5 for postage if you want to send the bat to us and have it sent back out.

What do you do about the dust?

Post by: Ryan on March 17, 2014, 09:36:04 PM: Good stuff Jake, did you manage to do that tweaking I mentioned? I'll send you a picture of how I've got mine set up, might be worth having a look at something similar.
