    I'd rather sand wood than bog, plastic or steel....how often do you want a mirror finish on wood????

    and joiners dont "proper" sand... they only have 3 different grits... and one is called "coarse" or sumfin (and then there's the "emery paper" people)

    so does ya R1, but I couldn't see them using coarse grit and a belt sander when they fixed it....

    and it prolly wouldn't handle that well if it was made outta table legs and a kitchen cupboard door and french polished....
    might be a bit of a prick to leave outdoors for any length of time tooo

    and on wood you'd never know if they had just used 80, 150 and 250.... where's the 1600 wet 'n dry? the "blocked back and hand cut"?

    Arrow Sorry NC30

    My arms are just not long enough to reach wellytown, remember the sooner you start the sooner you finish...
    Does that mean that the bike is a not so red one?
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
