Hello... I'm looking for a source for sanding pads for radius bowls... preferably Canadian.... but I'm easy... Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Richard.

If you're referring to the 24" dia sanding discs, I'd recommend one of our sponsors...John Hall of Blues Creek Guitars. In addition to speaking Pennsylvanian, he also speaks Canadian

...and I know for a fact that he drinks Canadian beer

Richard, Shane Neifer at Highmountain tonewood is a Canadian sponsor who sells the 24" dia single piece sticky back sandpaper.

hesh, we make em just as strong here in the states.. people just don't know it... I know of one beer made in NY that tops out at 10%. But many of the "standard" beers are closer to 3.5% and taste like,,,,, opps forgot this is a G rated forum.. So I won't say what it taste like.. I make my own so I never have to worry that it's not strong enough

Careful when refering to speaking Canadian...Canada is one of the few countries in the Americas that have two offical languages, English and French (Quebecois).

J'ai de bons amis du Canada qui ne parlent pas anglais car ils sont Quebecois mais sont encore les Canadiens fiers.

As for beer...one word "Blue"

Sorry Shawn. I'm born and raised up here in the great white north and I don't speak, read or write a tick of French, no offence to my good Brother Serge there in Quebec, but Canada has many different cultures just like the US does, but the predominant language is English, Canadian english but english none the less. Heck, in my town 25% of the population is east indian and I should really learn punjabi

And as for beer...Molson is about as Canadian as it gets .Rod True39002.071412037

Rod...you are so right...There is also a big difference between eastern Canada and the western provinces...for those of us on the east coast of america we tend to think of Quebec and Ontario taking up about 90 percent of Canada and then there is Vancouver somewhere over on the left and while most americans will know the town Calgary, no one actually knows where it is...

It's all good ain't it?

I sure don't know what the heck happened when they named the midwest the midwest, when it is clearly more on the east side of the country than on the west side.

Big can o worms here eh?

Just to clarify, this has nothing to do with bull headed patriotism.... (although I do love Canada,) this has to do with the idiotic amount of duty that I get charged every time I import something from the US. Who can afford that?????
