Sanding Methods

There are three ways you can sand your project. The first is manually, the second is using a block, and the third is using a power tool. In some cases, two methods are necessary, especially if the first method you used produced undesired scratches on the wood surface.

Hand Sanding: Is used ONLY for curved surfaces. Manually sanding the flat surfaces such as table tops and drawers can lead to hallowing. This method is highly recommended for hard-to-reach areas of the project. To do this, simply take the sandpaper and fold it into three. Hold it firmly as you sand the surface of the project.

Block Sanding: Is almost similar to hand sanding, but this time you will back the sandpaper with a block of wood. When sanding, you will hold the block to have more leverage. To perform block sanding, you must wrap the sandpaper around the wood.

Using a power tool: There are many power tools in sanding, but the most common is random orbital sander. This device is used to eliminate the scratches created after a project has been manually sanded. Almost all woodworking shops have this tool, so invest well on it.
