The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

I just use these custom sanding blocks that I make and used to sell. Very easy to just hold in my hand and make a couple light passes but have often thought about making up my own jig like the bottom pic to dial things in exact.

decided to shorten the esc wiring to battery in my T-33. I shortened it by 10" with length to spare.Used the cut off end and added banana plugs to use for charging.

I keep looking at it but struggling to see how it works.

Tonight I started another project. Matching floats for my E-Flite E-1500 Twin Cargo Plane. So many projects, really keeps me busy. Plan on spending more time on the 84" Turbo Bushmaster tomorrow.

Thanks for that and yes it is not cheap but looks like a nice piece of equipment. But you still need a disc sander. I am looking for some thing like that but needs a sanding block that runs in a slot so that it can be used manually.
