discussion using electric toothbrush as sander

[Guest]

I came across this the other day, A treatise on how to turn an electric toothbrush into a sander. It's in German but the pictures are self explanatory or you can use google translate to paste bits of the text and get the gist of it. Don't paste too much text at once the translator doesn’t like it.

What a smart little idea. Google Translate made a pretty good job of turning it into Danish so most of it made good sense! The examples shown of before and after look proof enough that it works.

What a brilliant idea, wonder if it really does work. No need for an expensive 'sonic' brush either so the old technology orbit ones should be quite cheap to pick up.

Using Google translate reminds me of my time in Germany recently when I was in my appartment writing the instructions on the back of tinned foods into Google Translator to see how I was supposed to cook it!

It worked though!
