In Response To: Tools: Which sander for first time kayak builder? *Pic* (Ken)

I'm not an expert by any means, having built only one kayak ... so far. However it was my experience that the ROS was the most used sander -- altho at a certain point my flat finishing sander worked wonders. Hey, once or twice I even found a use for a coarse disk on my old Black and Decker 1/4 drill! But if I had only one it would be the ROS ... and then, as I am a retired bloke living on a "fixed income" I'd make a trip to the second hand store or the pawn shop.
Whatever you do, putting those little stips of wood together and ending up with a real live "it floats!" boat is great fun! Enjoy it!
