Woodworking Continued
 

 

A close-up of what it looks like. I'm using a small clamp-block that's wedged at one end and the V shaped jaw of my Kant-Twist clamp at the other. I had to be extremely careful while using this type of clamp because they're capable of exerting a great deal of pressure with minimal effort.
 

 

 

This clamp worked great for this with the V shaped jaw.
 

 

 

With the glue dry it's time to do a lot of sanding.
 

 

 

I used my oscillating spindle sander for the majority of the sanding process. By using different sizes of sanding drums, I was able to get at 90% of all the sanding.
 

 

 

Here is the smallest drum and 1/2" diameter. This took awhile but it worked good.
 

 

 

Here is the back that I cut off earlier, it will require some sanding before I glue it back on. If you look close you can see the bandsaw cutting marks near the bottom. These marks were on the entire surface so this was the time sand because it's easy at this point, but not if it were glued on.
 

 

 

My DA sander made quick work of this sanding process.
 

 

 

And just like before, lots of clamps to make sure it's attached correctly.
 

 

 

I had some minor areas to sand once the back was on so my spindle sander was used once again.
 

 

 

My spindle sander has this sanding belt attachment that came in handy for the bottom.
 

 

 

I did have a small amount of hand sanding along with some file work in the tighter areas. This didn't take that long and came out nice.
