Well, who would have thought putting stuff away actually makes it cleaner, awesome. I am at a point now, that everything it been rough sanded most of the material the polyurethane and stain has been removed you can see it some pretty good shape at this point.
What I need to do now is do the final finish sanding, the last step prior to adding the finish stain whatever the plan for this piece. For most of this unshaped parts I am probably just going to do it by hand I want to go from where I am at now to a 180 grip and probably just use some hand sanding tools and like little blocks sander here.
For the larger surfaces like a tabletop, we got four or five different tabletop pieces. They are all nice and flat, so really a tool for that the best suite tool for that is something like a random morbid sander, like this guy here in out. These defers from your standard quarter sheet sander and a built sander some of more traditional sanders in a fact that it actually sands and a random morbid has the name.
Basically, what I mean so the wood worker is since it is going in not only in a circle but it is shaking and vibrating within that so it is creating a random scratch pattern. And the interesting thing about the eye the human will only see consistent straight line patterns if all little squiggly lines your eye just does not pick it up. So, you to one nice fine grip 180 grip. Your eyes have gone actually see that if you use a random morbid sander. It is just a little squiggly lines all over the place so can have been very cool tool.
If you are getting a lot of dusting in your shop and if you are going to use its whole like you have probably are you want to make sure you get some sort of dust collection built in right at the tool. Oh, it is a goof idea to wear your dust mask or some sort of respirator. But if you can collect the dust straight out of the tool you are going to stop it from in the air in the first place. That is definitely an awesome way to go.
What I have done I just use the dust collection cord that is built right into the tool and I did a little copular here actually I think I got this one from Home Depot connect right into the end of my shop. A shop that is a perfect tool or dust collection I’ve probably gone to a three of them just because I almost solely use it for this purpose. Is somewhat fine dust that I do not think a shop back is really intended to pull in that much super fine dust even with a high grade have a filter. That I have on it. It is still does not seems to have this long as it should.
So, the first thing I want to do is when I hit with a 120 grip paper. Now, I explained my reason in my choice for that the Drum sander was the last thing that touch those tabletops and I believe the last grip I used was 120 grips. And the thing that keep in mine is when you use a heavy duty machine to do your sanding either on built sander or drum sander like we used is says 120 grip but it tends to put on a lot deeper scratches. Then, another comfortable tool might use or even doing something by hand. So if you finish that 120 make sure when you move over to a hand help sander that you either start at 120 and you might even start it a 100 grip go a little bit lower and then progress your to the grip up to where you want to be.
So, in this case, I finish off at 120. I am going to start at 120 with my random morbid sander and I am going to finish off 180 pads. That is going to give me a nice finish. One other about random morbid sanders is what makes this different than a regular quarter shape sander, a regular orbiting sander, essentially is action of the pad here. I do want to spin in a circle but it also does not orbiting vibrating action which really essentially all it does it falls the eye.
It is such a random scratch pad that the eye does not even see it as a pattern and therefore to our eye it is an invisible scratch essentially. So, it is very effective tool if you are working with large, flat areas, you can certainly use on the front of this legs here. Any flat surface like that useful are just awesome for a use this on every single project that I do.
