]]> 76574 1 26 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199985/26.jpg Select sandpaper Choose a sandpaper grit that works for your project. The rougher the wood, the coarser paper you should use.

]]> 76575 2 32 Tip Start with a medium grit like number 80, which can remove scratches and dents.

]]> 76576 3 37 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199985/37.jpg Select a tool Select your tool. A random-orbit finishing sander is a versatile choice. For smaller jobs and hard-to-reach spots, consider sanding by hand with the help of a sanding block.

]]> 76577 4 48 Tip Scribble in pencil over the sanding surface – when the marks are gone, you’re done.

]]> 76578 5 53 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199985/53.jpg Sand Sand with – not against – the grain. Apply even pressure so you don’t gouge the wood or create high and low spots.

]]> 76579 6 61 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199985/61.jpg Clear the dust Remove dust from all surfaces using a shop vacuum.

]]> 76580 7 64 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199985/64.jpg Repeat Repeat the previous steps, each time moving to finer sandpaper. With each sanding, you will find yourself one step closer to a perfect finish.

]]> 76581 8 74 Fact Sandpaper was once called glass paper because it was made with glass particles.
