Sooo... Crappy Tire had a palm sander on sale. About $20. It was one of those "clothes iron" shape ones with the velcro pad on the bottom attached to a plastic "platform" held to the sander by screws.

I unscrewed the bottom, attached a piece of 1/8" thick neoprene rubber gasket to the upper side and reinstalled it (to make sure the passive dust extraction didn't suck up any moisture).

I put a piece of abrasive plastic pad on the rear half of the velcro pad. I put some CeramaBrite on my glass top stove and PRESTO... I can clean the stovetop without severe pain in my arthritic hands! It'll clean lots of other stuff too.

So... whaddya got like that?

Oh, yeah... if I ever get hold of that thar Artur Itis guy, I am gonna kick the livin...
