Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Bought a DA Sander from Eastwood at the end of February... Used it very little, and this past weekend it wouldn't work when applying air...

Got on the Eastwood site, clicked the "Live Chat" button and explained situation to Customer Service Rep... Pushed it over to Tech Assistance... The Tech guy immediately advised it sounded as if it was some internal problem with the item and issued a replacement order...

Small problem solved rather quickly...

Eastwood Company...

Glad they were quick to resolve the issue... the reason I went with that DA is because it only uses 2.8 CFM and since I have a single stage compressor, that is well within the air usage my compressor can handle...

Just think how crazy it's going to get when the govment (misspelled purposely) raises the minimum wage?

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Did you check the position of the small lever on the left side by the handle (if it has one). Mine seems to have flopped down to the closed position every time I go to use it. It might be something as simple as pushing the lever up against the motor and it will fire right up.

Martin over in the UK scored a sweet print at a swap meet and was kind enough to email me a copy…

Then as a surprise he mailed a very good copy of his print...

Here's a pic of the original, then a colored version I did of the digital copy he sent...

Another few steps forward…

Picked up My "new to me" Headers, cleaned them up and shot VHT Header Paint on them…

Had to take a pic of my dusty arm… Got the Fender I repaired ready for primer…
