[quote=kingisomer]I'd rather have the knowledge I did a thorough - if slow job, and can sand/touch-up minor chips inexpensively as necessary with indetectable results.
I agree completely. Oh, and I've been using the same electric Black & Decker sander for years. It think it cost $15 bucks! Same goes for my bench grinder/wire wheel. Just a cheap $40 buck Black & Decker. Sometimes the cheap tools works just as well as the expensive ones.
