    New Tricks for Old Shop Dogs(Post)

    I know the saying is; "You can't teach an old dog new tricks", but is that really how it works? I am convinced that the 'dog' gets old when he stops learning new tricks. Yes, I am firmly convinced tha

    Not a New Year's Post(Post)

    As our regular readers know, we really do not like the 'seasonal' blog posts and such. At 2Sand.com, we think that a good idea needs to be acted on right away, not held until some arbitrary date. Majo

    True Grits(Post)

    To be honest, writing this blog every few weeks is a bit of a challenge. After all, we are a sanding supplies company. We want our company blog to be relevant to our customers, but frankly finding new

    Cranial Download - Fabrication Details(Post)

    These days, my shop consists of one person, me, and since I do all the design work as well, passing along details on construction and finish is not an issue. Not that this means I don't still screw th
