Thank you for sharing this Mike. Yes, guilty of most of the common errors you point out, especially given that personally, I hate all abrasive work, so I get it done as fast as possible. Recently I've been sanding back a slot of coloured projects to get that base, shabby look and end up with significant radial banding of the colour. The only way to eliminate this is sanding with the grain as you recommend. I only ever use an inertia sander these days as I've noticed using an electric drill knackers the gears - that's what all those rattles are if you ever have the same issue. Also worth mentioning that in my experience, not worth buying cheap abrasives. I've tried several and none have lived up to minimum expectation. Thanks again you have inspired me to be more patient and carry out abrasive work more diligently!

Not having an air system, I have gone to using 1.5 inch nylon bristled paint brush between sanding grits. The brush is medium to higher end in price, but does a fine job of removing the grit dust. I have used the same brush for over a year now and expect it will go 2 or 3 more years. I also agree that the use of denatured alcohol is a good thing. Do love your channel and the way you present. Happy turning.

I use the inertia sander and it does, as you say, a great job. I have found that it can help, on difficult wood, to sand both by hand and use the inertia sander, since you are then sanding in both directions. They ramned into my head, when I was an apprentice, in the 60's, sand with the grain for stain, varnishing and cross the grain for painting to give a key. Thanks for a very instructive video on a very important topic, including the H&E aspect. James

@ernestthebo54414 жыл бұрын
Hi Mike, Thank you for another great, informative video! Yep, I think I violated all or your standards, before I watched this video. I have just completed a small turned box from another of your videos, and used all or your sanding techniques and it turned out great. I’d like to wander on and make a few observations. Your recommendation for a uniform sanding pressure through all grits was the most helpful to me. I was guilty of “If a little pressure is good, a lot must be better!” Your way works much better. I did often clean between grits, but now I clean as meticulously as you do. Sanding sealer? I’d tried it before using a major US brand, got awful results and swore it off forever. I bought a can of Milands Cellulose sanding sealer and it works great. One thing that you stress in your turning videos, but didn't mention here is to keep your tools as sharp as possible, and use the best tool and technique to get the best finish on the wood before you start sanding. I'm still a beginner, but getting better from watching your videos. When I first started I treated sandpaper as another turning tool instead of as a finishing tool. A couple of comments about chemicals. I’d been using 91% isopropyl , but I bought a can of denatured alcohol and tried it. I didn’t care for it. It seems to dry out the wood and raise the nap of the wood more than the isopropyl does. In addition, the methanol (>30%) in the denatured alcohol is 2-4 times more toxic than isopropyl and can be absorbed through the skin. (Though I wear disposable nitrile gloves when I use any finishing product.) In addition, the isopropyl works well to thin the Milands Cellulose sanding sealer. The safety data sheet for Milands showed that it is 30-50% isopropyl so I thought that a bit more wouldn’t hurt. Finally, back to the main theme of this comment: Thank you Mike for a great video!

Interesting subject Mike. Certainly agree that people really don't realise that often all the prep for the finishing takes quite a lot of time up. If you're using DNA between each grit on hand sanding then why not between when using a bowl sander? Personally for me I rarely use the DNA for cleaning up as the sanding sealer does a similar job due to the thinners etc. I don't throw all sandpaper away as odd bits are often useful for other jobs around the shop.

Thanks for video. I haven’t been using alcohol between grits but can see the value and will start using it. I also use an inertia sander where possible. Did you also use alcohol between the grits or is it not necessary? When denibbing how important is it to use a finer grit e.g. keep different grits for different uses etc.inertia sanding needs a certain pressure “just to work” so using a similar pressure with each grit is normal but it’s good to be reminded about being consistent - thanks.

You don't need denatured alcohol with the inertia sander?

Me too. I think he probably does clean between each grit. I've being cleaning only after all grits are done, but think I need to do it each grit from now on. I'll need to buy denatured alcohol by the gallon from now on!

Hi Nathan, I neglected to say that as you are sanding at more than twice the speed when using an inertia sander, using Meths is not as critical. The reason is that the centrifugal force ejects more of the grit from the piece. Cheers Mike

Very nice sanding tutorial. I am guilty on all counts. Not enough patience...not enough attention to detail. Task Lighting also not good in my lathe area. So I need to make some changes.
