In Response To: Strip: sanding vs planing (James Nixon)

I used a dual action sander and an inline sander. I was more comfortable with these tools than the planer. Used 60 grit at first, working up to 120. The inline sander made faring a breeze. I have since played with the planer enough to try it next time. Problems with sanding are noise, dust, and sand-paper adds cost to the boat.

Keep in mind that this is my first boat, so I am only a beginner. I have worked with wood for years and have found that air tools make short work of most projects. However, hand tools seem to be more satisfying overall.

Good luck with your project.
