Power Tool Friday

After getting a very nice ArtFire sale, I decided to go ahead and invest some cash in supplies to make plenty more drop spindles.  I found a good woodworking store online and discovered that to buy the dowels pre-cut to 12" would be about $1.10 each.  However, buying 36" dowels, a pack of 100 was $22.00.  That's right.  $0.22 each, then cut into three pieces means these dowels are now about 7 cents.

Seriously? 

It costs a dollar to make a single cut?

Well. . . .

Here's what I think of that!

$300 worth of dowels for $22.


Hooray for power tools!  Now to assemble a hundred or so drop spindles!
