SANDING-SANDING-SANDING

THESE BABIES are almost done,  Sanded with 180, then 220, then 320, then 400.  Oh my, I am getting a little weary of breathing sanding dust, but they are close to being done.  One more sanding tomorrow with 600 grit and thats enough.  I need to do the final shaping and sanding on the necks and then I will be starting the French Polish.

good sanding tools really make a difference.  I use these plastic things with a handle that fits into the heel of your hand.  Lots easier and hands and fingers and you can get plenty of pressure to your work if you wish to.

I buy sticky back sandpaper in rolls like this.  It is a great aid to just cut off a piece and have it adhere to your sanding block.  The other advice I would suggest is changing to fresh sand paper frequently.
It makes the job much more efficient.
