“Pre-Finished” Body – April 2013

An, out of focus, shot of the body after final sanding. If I get more into this blog and building, I need to consider how I document the work. For now, it’s blury low res images!

The body was sanded in the following order:

  • 80 grit
  • 180 grit – too big a jump I know, but I didn’t have anything to hand in between
  • 240 grit – I was planning 220, but I had 240 – so 240 grit it was!

One thing that didn’t work, I did the round over and then I sanded the top. Getting out the tool marks from the top actually took out the round over. I must of lost a lot more of the top than I realised. So the top round over is mostly by hand in the end.

I’m quite happy with the end result and it’s a huge amount better than the first body.
