Sanding Techniques - Beginners #13 - woodworkweb

Sanding ... at least for me is the most boring part of woodworking, so knowing how to do a great job, as quickly as possible has always been important ... but more than that, know a few secrets along the way helps make it more interesting ...

As a grandmother who has had zero instruction and some "Willy Nilly" tries at assorted furniture projects, I cannot express enough how helpful your video was for me! I'm hooked! Thank you!

Thank you Colin for all that you do. I always pickup something out of your videos, such as only using 220 grit on plywood.

Thank so much for taking the time to create and post this video!! I have a self-done home reno project coming up and this is going to be so helpful. Sanding seems like such a simple task, but you've shown how to do it right, and that is super appreciated. Your teaching method, pace, and speech are great!

I know a lot of folks really dislike sanding, but for me it's very therapeutic.  I actually like the sanding process, working with the wood, to bring out the beauty.  Ver informative video, thank you for sharing.

Appreciate the video, great information, even for someone with over three decades of experience like myself.

I have a few minor disagreements with a few points, but aside from occasional custom furniture, heirloom quality knives, or random special projects, I am primarily building custom electric guitars, and basses (as well as instrument accessories and instrument related items, including an ever expanding lineup of gauging or measuring instrumentation, templates, tooling, jigs, and fixtures, for instrument building, but also for mire general use applications in woodworking, and metalworking shops).

In this shop, we use a lot of domestic and exotic figured woods, plus spalted and burled woods, regularly. Between the variety of grain structure, grain characteristics, variation in oil content, tendencies of some of these woods to, "behave, " differently when stained, dyed, have various paint pigments applied, wet/dry sanded during various stages of finishing, and when applying sanding sealants, lacquers, different poly-, or poly- blend, finishes, or various oil finishes, it's very much been a "learn as you go" experience, doing what research I can, trying to apply lessons learned on something that seems similar, and then just do it (making sure to take VERY thorough, very detailed notes as I go).
