Mark,

Nice work, I have a KA tools sander and the Merlin was of interest to me so I went looking for one in view of buying it, however here in Australia its a very expensive peice of kit.

Way beyond my self funded super fund funds, so sadly I will not be able to make a challange, looks great and I would dearly love to but not going to happen.

Its a bid hard to see in the pictures but how thick is the salted Maple?

Regards Rob
