Wednesday, September 28, 2011 Why You Need a Sander + Giveaway!
***This giveaway is now closed!***
Welcome to day #3 of our amazing week of giveaways aponsored by Stack Exchange's DIY and Home Impovement Board! It's a great place to ask and give answers (or snoop at other people's Q&A's, like we do!). Today is a fun one. Another product you don't know you need, until you own it. Remember a bit ago Joey turned a $40 piece of reclaimed wood into our entryway table?
To be honest it was a gross-o piece of wood we weren't sure what to do with until we discovered the power of the sander. Follow me young grasshopper and learn...
I hope you know I was kidding about the grasshopper thing :). As you can see Joey turned the gross wood into a gem with some elbow grease and a little wax. We LOVE Milwakee and Makita brands when it comes to tools as you may have noticed. Nothing against the other guys, just seems to last a long time and tends to have quality accessories.
So what's in it for you? A new sander of course! Welcome the one we would have gotten if it had been available when we were in need.
Get your pretty little DIY Hands on this beauty! Also don't forget to check out the "sanders" at Stack Exchange and add your Q&A's to the mix! Seriously! DIY is about community and sharing what you know while learning from others. This is such a great place to share that exchange.

Just tore down old porch and all new railings and wood ceiling going up.. I need this bad!
Building more furniture/awesome things/make things smooth/take off layers. Lots of work around my mom's house and since we've starting thinking about buying a fixer, we'd totally need at least one sander. :)
I also tweeted about the giveaways! @fasdy
I would love a new sander since my like one just died.
Consider it Tweeted! I would LOVE to get my hands on this sander to refinish the coffee table I rescued from someone's trash (don't judge me)!!
I would love to use it on our dining table that was passed down to us from my husband's great grandfather's house.
I really want to do a reclaimed cabinet for our new sewing machine and all its stuff... (hope the comment went through this time, having computer problems!)
I would use it to sand our kitchen cabinets and finish them in a darker finsh.

redoing our console table!
Totally need a sander!
I would love to win the sander!! We would use it regularly when we're building furniture, or whatever you want to call it, I loathe using our hand sander...its a struggle between the two of us as to who has to do the sanding.
