Some 60 grit on a belt sander should take good care of that orange peel...

I'm prepared to be patient, I've got 800, 1000, 1200, and 1500 grt paper though I'm hoping to only use 2 or three of those, then some polishing compound. I'm thinking light 800 for most of the flattening, then 1000 or 1200 and compound. We'll see, I've still got to let the poly cure so nothing to do but sit around and studyJust remember, when you start thinking “I’m just going to use this here power tool and cut my sanding time waaaaay down.” That’s the best time to stop and come back later.
So your finish has some orange peel hey?
I think you need to burn some Orange oil incense to heighten the experience
Deal! I’ll PM you my shipping address.![]()

Again with the Jammie Pants. Now there's a Lounge.



A couple of my sons have adopted the Jammie Pants lifestyle, remote schooling encourages such behavior. The entire house has become the Jammie Lounge, where they lay about in between long bouts of snacking and sloth. I’d frown on it, but my hairstyle is approaching Andrew Jackson levels of length and unruliness that’s required liberal mousse application to tame. Might have to get a Flowvi, As Seen on TV.
