Rough Sanding a Wood Lathe Project

Alright now we've got everything smoothed out with the rough tools and we want sand it with the sandpaper. We want to remove our tool guide. Anywhere from a 60 to an 80 grid is what we are going to start with. We are going to turn the machine on and we are also going to increase the RPM's to about 1,500. You want to keep the sand paper moving all the time so you don't burn the wood and also so you don't put scratches in from the roughness of the sand paper. It takes very little on the decorative turning part for the beads so just highlight those a little bit. You want to put a fair amount of pressure on it when you are sanding. Now it is all nicely rounded smooth and that concludes what we are going to do with the rough sand paper.
