You’ve probably heard about making a “Bucket List” of exciting adventures you’d like to experience. I have had many things that I have gratefully checked off mine: Swimming with wild dolphins (AWESOME), skydiving (anytime again!), bungee-jumping (never again!!), hot air ballooning (thanks mum), and even having children (yes it is an adventure). So I was plateau-ing in my new adventures… I live in a warm paradise like I am on permanent holiday and I have not been climbing new mountains. It’s just been a steady journey for quite a while (except for my new cruising adventures!!)

One day, I noticed something about my thinking perspective. I was watching the new movies of Star Trek and I could see a future San Francisco superimposed onto my current memories. If you have read Speed Manifesting™ you’ll recognize the Key to Speed there.

Well it occurred to me that in my personal daily imagining, it was not a future at all – it was just more of the same old world, with different adventures, things and types of relationships. So I pondered what a future 20-30 years from now would be like, based on the current speed of technology and communication in our work, relationships and household.

And that brought up another desire – why does my home still look essentially like my grandparent’s home built 65 years ago? Same walls, same plugs, same doorknobs, same architecture. Where is all the new technology inside the structure of our homes? Why don’t we have walls that collect sunlight and glow back at night? Why don’t we have other innovations within the architecture and building of our houses? It’s not because of costs, and I realized quickly that it is standardization, building codes, suppression and protection of traditional industries.

Whatever. I want new!

So I stepped back and used the only few reference points I know.

1. Star Trek

2. George Jetson

I know you are laughing at me right now, I can hear you!

But seriously, where are my conveyor belts, Rosie the Robot, portal-elevators and anti-grav cars? We have a lot of new technology, but some areas are far behind the innovations.

I then heard my own voice tell me, “then imagine it!”

And so began my new list. I call it my Jetson’s list.

Here is what’s on it so far…

1. anti-grav zero fuel car with solar powered air conditioning

2. crystal skylights inserted into my roof for natural lighting

3. solar-flowers for electricity (yes it exists, it’s just not around)

4. Air-ports that are PlanetPortal wormholes, taking you wherever you want to go instantly

5. peace and prosperity around the world through technology

It’s fun to stretch my imagination into bigger possibilities, and see a future 20-30 years that may very well be available. I may even get a home stargate portal one day.

What would be on your Jetson’s List?

Jet is known for producing some of the best equipment in the woodworking industry and, well, it’s because they do. Jet machinery offers staggering high-performance and total longevity while also remaining affordable. Those are pretty strong selling points and, in case you needed something more, Jet machinery is also innovative. Take their new 22-44 OSC oscillating drum sander for example; offering exclusive variable feed and oscillation technologies, the drum sander delivers an incredibly perfect finish to each of your woodworking projects.

To get a little more specific, the Jet 22-44 variable feed oscillating drum sander (stock number 659006K) is built around a 1-3/4 HP, continuous duty motor. Engineered for heavy and extended use, the motor offers reliable power and total high-performance. The oscillating feature on the sander is button-actuated enabling you to use the machine as either a linear sander or an oscillating sander. When used as a linear sander, the sanding drum rotates as the conveyor feeds the workpiece. Easy enough, right? When used with the oscillating feature, though, the linear sanding mechanism combines with left/right oscillations of the sanding drum head. This back and forth action delivers uncommonly smooth results while also reducing heat on the sanding belt. This prevents loading during use and burning on your workpieces. The head oscillates with a 1-inch stroke delivering an always optimal finish. Separate feed and drive motors additionally contribute to greater sanding control and superior results.

The 22-44 additionally features Jet’s SandSmart technology, an exclusive variable feed control system allowing you to feed and finish workpieces at up to 10-feet per minute. This ensures you can apply a perfect finish to each project at virtually any feed rate. The sander’s patented conveyor belt trackers are designed to reduce the need for manual belt adjustments and patented abrasive take-up fasteners allow you to quickly and easily change abrasives. The machine’s adjustable drum height mechanism and downward pressure feature essentially eliminate snipe and, with special thanks to a conveyor bed that’s built with precision-flattened reinforced steel and a no-give power feed belt, the 22-44 OSC truly delivers uncommonly and constantly smooth sanding action. Basically, that’s a mouthful of superior performance and this is an exceptionally great drum sander.

To wrap it up, the sander additionally features sealed and permanently lubricated drum ball bearings for enhanced performance and longevity. It also allows users super-precise sanding thickness control with a large cast-iron handwheel that easily adjusts sanding height in 1-1/16-inch increments. The machine’s magnetic switch is front mounted for your ergonomic convenience and with a built-in cabinet door, the unit offers easy access to storage as well. It’s a bombshell; and, by that, I mean the drum sander is a really phenomenal machine.

Though the unit is built to last a life-time, Jet also makes it easy to maintain and repair their woodworking machinery. It’s simple to get Jet parts and, in case you don’t know exactly what you need, we’re happy to help you find the right Jet parts for your repair. Whether it’s with replacement parts or new woodworking machinery, let us help you find it!
