All useful, no time wasted over explaining. The full review: 10 for 10!

Great tips. I'll add: Wipe off the workpiece between each sandpaper grit. This will keep the more coarse shavings off the finer coarse sandpaper.

Excellent content and editing. No blah blah blah, just the real info . Top notch for sure. JIM

When sanding the inside of a box, like a serving tray or blue tape to prevent the spinning disc from carving out grooves in the adjacent panels.

Wanted to stop by and say thank you for filming in 1440p!! So much better, the production quality is fantastic.

1)Thanks for the quick tips.
2)I must be different I actually enjoy sanding, that means the project is nearly finished

[chrishealy]

Good tips man, there's a lot of good stuff here. Your production value has really progressed since I started watching you last fall. Keep it up bud

[eddiethomas]

I've been putting so much pressure down on the pad and getting tired so quickly. Stopped doing that after seeing this video and it makes so much difference!

I can’t believe I haven’t found your page before now. Every video I’ve watched so far is awesome and helpful. Hope you get more followers and sponsors in your future, you deserve it

[Dave_Hrabosky]

This is a nice, useful, and high-quality video. Excellent. Thank you.

[Juju-bmsh]

You are always so helpful, thank you. I am sanding 1/2 and 1/4 logs for my tiny house build and these tips are extremely useful

I think you covered it all pretty well. I know that the random orbit sander will damage the corners when you bump into it, so I just do a hand sanding with a sanding block. I didn't think of putting a rigid materials at the side to protect it. Now I know what to do next time. Thanks for sharing my friend.

This is how “how-to” videos should be, short and straight to the point.

Thank you so much for your quick and informative video tips ! I’m a novice furniture painter starting to dabble into sanding and painting furniture. I’ve had a tough time finding a video showing how to use the random orbital sander properly. I’ve especially been trying to find out the proper way to start and stop. Your the first one to address it. One question I still have is how do I know what speed to set on my sander. My purpose is to strip finishes off of wood furniture. Thanks again for your video and hopefully you’ll be able to answer my last question. 👍

I'm weird I guess....I love sanding. It's an early reveal of my work. I built a 5" dia hand sander with a handle on the back and a Velcro pad. I use my sanding discs with it. It's a simple build and a game changer in the sanding game. Great video and channel! Thanks Jody.

[darbypea]

I never do this but I actually went and bought the hook and loop pad and some cubetron disks. You're very convincing

[woodshopmafia]

I dont know....i have tried over 25 different sanding disc brands and types and festool Granat has by far been the best and still to this day have not found any to be up the great content

[WCW]

Great tips and great video examples! I just ordered the multipack pack and a protector pad, looking forward to trying them out on my next build. Thanks for the great content!

[makermark]

Great tip video as always. Lots of useful info in there. I keep a deck of old playing cards in the shop. Great for shims and for using like you were talking about on vertical walls while sanding. I've also had those cubitron disks for a few weeks. Absolutely love them. Great product. Thanks!

[amidon]

Wow I never knew they made them hook & loop backer pads! I actually love sanding down wood to see the "new" wood revealed!
