True Grit: Efficient Sanding on Flat & Shaped Elements

with Michael Fortune

$275

About this Workshop

Sanding can be tedious, and it does not always produce a smooth, satin surface. After more than 50 years of shaping wood with cutting tools and sanding furniture, Michael will share numerous tips, tricks, and methods for achieving the best results efficiently. Whether working with flat surfaces or highly shaped furniture parts, Michael relies on easily modified power sanders and shop made accessories for hand sanding. Even cutting and folding sandpaper in a specific way can be surprisingly helpful. Illustrations of the jigs demonstrated in class will be provided during the day.

Key Points

  • Efficient sanding methods for smooth, consistent surfaces
  • Techniques for sanding flat and highly shaped furniture parts
  • Modifying power sanders for specialized tasks
  • Creating shop made accessories for hand sanding
