Skin-on-Frame: What's the best sanding method
By:Todd Olson

I've got the forms cut out for my wife's Chuckanut, and my Sea Cruiser and am ready to sand. What do people find easiest for sanding the curves, etc of the forms? It seems like a spindle sander would work well, but I don't know that I need to invest in anymore tools....my wife tends to think I'm done with that:).... I thought it would be worth asking everyone to get some ideas.

Thanks!
