I am reminded of teaching at Arrowmont one year, and planning a box for the students to make that had a small banding of inlay on the top edge of each side. It would have been beautiful, but without warning, students decided to hold their boxes against a large horizontal belt sander, when a bit of careful hand sanding or a card scraper would have been more than enough.Doug Stowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003845322415622289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-25272331510291304612014-04-19T11:05:24.083-05:002014-04-19T11:05:24.083-05:00Hello Doug , sanding is mindless?

Mostly it is lack of experience but often they do not want to put in the small effort it takes to prepare one. Sanding is a common way they "adjust" their surfaces away from what they want. Thanks.
