: I am getting ready to build my second Wee Robbie double paddle
: canoe. I have just purchased a Performax(Jet) 1020 sander. After

Sanding them to thickness? Ouch, that sounds like it would take forever. Nice sander still. I run my strips thru my thickness planer to get them all the same thickness, much faster, though awfully noisy.
