Erupting dragon egg |

Making a Dragon egg from some Cherry burl wood and Alumilite Clear Slow resin. The egg is finished with Waterlox Gloss. The bubbles erupting out of the burl were not what I had intended with this piece but gave a really cool effect in the end.

Selling two bench-top sanders, a Craftsman 1x42 w/8" disc, and a Skil 4x36 w/6" disc, belt sanders. Both include a few belts and discs and both work great. Just closing out my home shop.
Craftsman 351.226110 belt/disc sander. 1"x42" belt and 8" disc. Works great. $125
Skil 3370 belt/disc sander. 4"x36" belt and 6" disc. Works great. $75
Or make me a reasonable offer.
I doubt shipping would be worth it, so best to stick with local pickup or arrange a meeting halfway. I am in Texas City, south of Houston, TX.

In about 3 weeks I will have a bunch of hand tools for sale here at the house and will advertise on Facebook Market.
I will have handsaws and 1 Panther saw with about 18 others and a bunch of planes and angle gauges and rules scrappers like the #12, 12 1/2 and other thinks like that. If I take pictures of them would you guys help me price them so I am not taken advantage of and not over pricing also.
Thanks

Drawer slides best for the buck |

I'm sure this has been asked a million times in these forums, but opinions and experiences change so with that said -
If I go with undermount slides I maximize the drawer width but lose up to 1" in height and if I go with side mount slide I lose 1" in width, but maximize the drawer height up to 1".
I have about 30 drawers and pull out shelves in my kitchen plans, so obviously, as always, I'm looking to get the best bang for the buck.
I've gone cheap on side mount slides before and wasn't happy with certain things like having to pull too hard to open a drawer and self closing mechanisms wearing out.
I've also paid a little more for better slides a few times and was happy with those.
Unfortunately I don't remember with certainty which brands those were. It was like 7 years ago anyway.
But I also don't want to break the bank over top-priced drawer slides that I suspect are not going to add 2-3x the value for 2-3x the price.
I'll need 22" full extension with soft close and a few 24". Overtravel is nice, but not necessary.
I'm expecting that the recommendations for undermount will be all in favor of Blum Undermount, but if you have another recommendation I'd like to hear it.
But as for side mount drawer slides, what would you recommend today? again, best quality for a mid-priced slide.
Also, where best do I go for bulk pricing. I'm not sure if 30 pairs (maybe a few more) qualifies for bulk pricing, but in case it does ...
thanks!
