I spent several hours over the next few days sanding everything. I wanted every surface to be smooth and flat, every joint to be flush, and every angle to be square. Every corner had to be crisp before we proceeded to the next operation: rounding them all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We routed the short, vertical edges first, using a 1\/2″ bit. I chose this size because I wanted the tables to have a soft look and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we gave both the outside and inside edges of the undersides 1\/4″ roundovers to provide a comfortable hand feel when carrying the tables. And yes, I did sand out those marks on the 1\/2″ roundover.<\/p>\n\n\n

The top edge received a 1\/2″ roundover to complete the soft look and feel. Then it was my job to sand everything again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of my stroke, my left hand operates with less than 100% of its previous strength and dexterity. Changing the sandpaper often resulted in tearing that rendered it unusable in the sander. So I purchased a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new sander has a better method of attaching and tensioning the paper, saving me time, and eliminating frustration. It also has a base without a large soft spot in the center or other weak areas. That said, it served me well on our previous projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
