Bill,This ought to go into the published archives if ever they're compiled. Maybe an article in Valve!?! I want to second you advice about the power sanders. I've used them over the years in my Modelmaking profession and with all my careful experience I still find it nearly impossible to not gouge out the surface of the wood. You can't tell the damage your doing until the finish is applied! So to all the DIYers, heed this advice and use large sanding blocks. Try not to skip grits; it won't save you time. I even go down to 400 grit and on small pieces, down to 600!
