Best Sanding Tip For Woodworkers: Sand The Sequence - SOLID WOOD DOOR SERIES - Video 11
This is the eleventh video in a detailed series featuring important aspects of finishing, sanding, gluing and clamping a traditional solid wood door. AskWoodman.com Video 11 includes an important sanding tip for all woodworkers. Woodman’s pet peeve? He hates to see machine marks in a finished piece. What’s the best way to avoid that? Sand the sequence. Sanding The Sequence, working through the grits, is a huge time saver. Woodman talks about his sanding theory, different grits, and what sandpapers he considers the best on the market today. He also explains why he doesn’t use random orbital sanders for most sanding work. Woodman believes a half sheet orbital sander does a superior job to achieve flatness and straightness. Sanding with the Festool half sheet sander is a pleasure and is like sanding on autopilot. ______________________________________ Be sure to check out the other videos in the Solid Wood Door Series. The complete series starts with explaining how to build a stunning tung oil based finish using Waterlox Original. It also shows detailed instruction for how to prep the surface, how to glue and clamp mortise and tenon joints using PC7 and various clamps, how to make blow out repairs, and multiple sanding techniques and philosophy. As a bonus, you’ll see my very unique door holding system that spins effortlessly on a rotisserie style mechanism to ensure perfect finish application. ______________________________________ Want to know which tools and products that …

@lokinya Yes that does sound exciting.Even after 25 years of professional woodworking, I am still amazed by the properties of different woods and by the infinite variety of ways we are able to use use tools to create using wood. I would be very interested to hear about the shop you will be working in and what your first woodworking tasks will be. Keep in touch. Allan
@askwoodman I just made a study switch from IT too woodworking, so I’m still a complete beginner. I’ll be starting soon with my study for the first time as a woodworker at a company that makes custom furniture, window frames and doors.
I love making boxes and my first project I finished a while ago was a cigar humidor… it did not turn out as nice as I wanted to, but I learned a lot from the process. (quadrant hinges are a pain!)
Exciting times ahead. :)
@lokinya Thanks for the comment. I have quite a few Festool products and am going to do reviews later on askwoodman. Thanks for reminding me about the low vibration. I have made a note for the review. They also seem to have engineered a lot of the high frequency noise out of their machines although I still wear hearing protection. Good tools are half the work indeed. I like that saying and will use it . What type of woodworking are you most interested in?
Great tips as usual! Thanks.
The Festool sander is awesome. I worked with one not too long ago that was hooked up to a Festool vacuum. Indeed no dust at all and no vibrating hands in comparison with a cheap sander.
Good tools are half the work, as they say here in the Netherlands. :)
