About
Do you ever get confused about which sanding tools or sandpaper to use on your projects? Do you want tips on how to remove milling marks, prepare for a stain finish, or take a surface to a polish?
This class, part of the Woodworking Basics series, explores the tools and abrasive media available in the Woodworking & Small Boatbuilding Studio and explains what works best in different circumstances. You can explore equipment from large to small, including your own hands.
This class is a component of BARN's Woodworking Basics Certificate program, which includes 14 classes and a mentored final project. Learn more »
You do not need to be a certificate student to take this class.
