Cheers, I might also buy a couple of clear safety-glasses too, so that stuff doesn't get in my eyes, Dust won't be much of an issue cause I can do the sanding out on my balcony, so, I'll draw up a Bunnings Shopping-List later on tonight so it's all organized for next Tuesday, and I'll go see if I can buy one of those $76.00 Orbital Sanders, and those extra papers and the mask too, looks like next week will be full-on for me, that's good cause I get bored when I'm sitting around doing nothing.

If money tight dont forget Cash Converters....Always got power tools

HB, sounds like Doc has the budget for a new orbital sander and will have use of the warranty, probably 12 months

I could do that, but I've elected to buy a brand new one, I've bought things from Cash Converters before only to have them go faulty a couple of weeks later.

Yeah I hear you....And was probably a tool from the back of some poor blokes Ute that was nicked....Big problem here in Melbourne...

Just make sure you sand with the opposite arm that lifts schooners for balanced exercise

Haaahahahahah....good one mate, I'd probably sand with both my arms so that they both get exercised, then I'll be able to lift two schooners, one in each hand, so I can drink in Stereo....hahahaha.


Cheers for making my day mate.

Nah Doc, seriously, get a decent dust mask, something half face with replaceable filter cartridges. Its the fine dust that causes the issues and if you are sanding, then you are already breathing it in, outside or not.
