Now come on guys lets get this back on topic.

It seems Rad is the sissy as he shapes at 1100 RPM. Whatever he doesnt mention however is that he starts off rough shaping on his ass, which is 15grit on a good day.


(He picked this tip up from Kurt, now you know why Kurt wears ass-less chaps, its cos he butt wore a hole in them them)

:D

It's true! I can't keep the butt part of my jeans attached to the legs and waist. Prince (back before his name was a squiggly line) used to buy my worn out jeans - something about music videos I think. Anyway, if you do it right, you can be finish sanding one pipe, while the other is getting shaped. It takes a lot of practice to do it hands-free, but the payoff is incredible in time savings. :huh:
