"Sanding" finished carvings

[sharkcutup]

I have bought a set of those too and have only used them once.

Probably because I found the bits for the Dremel Tool and found it more convenient to use.

It depends what works best for the person doing the sanding & the project they are working on, I have used most of the methods mentioned & although a dremmel probably hasn't been mentioned some of the bits that fit in one have. There are a lot of different bits available for rotary tools
Needle files would probably fit in the same category as machinist's rifflers, I have a couple of sets & they do get used but again it's project dependent
I don't think anyone has mentioned bits of sandpaper stuck on lollypop sticks either which is another method that could be used

It really comes down to experimenting with different methods & working out the ones that work best for the individual but as Leo has quite rightly said the more that can be done to reduce the amount of sanding required can only be a good thing
