Just wondering who else routinely uses a specific tool for something other than its intended use, I mean that one tool that does everything its not supposed to. For me its my hand Grinder outfitted with a coarse grit flapwheel. Cut steel with it, sand down the bottom of the door so it doesn’t stick, sand down shafts of paddles, pretty much anywhere sandpaper or metal cutting wheels are meant to be used is a goood spot for it to me. Had an old guy stop by today watching me trying to make paddles, he about died when he saw me pull out the grinder. Guess most folks don’t use them on Oak.
