Sanding Edges of a Hardwood Door / Edge Work - SOLID WOOD DOOR SERIES - Video 14

This is the fourteenth video in a detailed series featuring important aspects of finishing, sanding, gluing and clamping a traditional solid wood door. http://AskWoodman.com/

In this video Allan stands the door on edge, on the work table, and secures it in place before sanding. He uses his tool triggered Festool vacuum, half sheet sander and homemade sanding block to get the door ready for finish.

Allan addresses the surface edges as well as the corner edges of the door. He softens the edges at 150 grit because any grit courser than that is too aggressive. In addition, the Mirka paper that he starts using at 180 is much thinner and more prone to tearing passing over a sharp edge.

Be sure to check out the other videos in the Solid Wood Door Series. The complete series starts with explaining how to build a stunning tung oil based finish using Waterlox Original. It also shows detailed instruction for how to prep the surface, how to glue and clamp mortise and tenon joints using PC7 and various clamps, how to make blow out repairs, and multiple sanding techniques and philosophy. As a bonus, you'll see my very unique door holding system that spins effortlessly on a rotisserie style mechanism to ensure perfect finish application.
