Easier way to sand the Rostock arms

Post by Eaglezsoar »

I have found that if I stack seven emery boards they are almost perfect width to sand the Rostock arms.
After stacking the seven and squeezing them between the ends of the arms then sand and sand and sand the
final result is an arm with a virtually perfect space to fit the joints without slop. The emery boards I used were
from Walmart, Company name Trim in a pack of 20. 00348 is a part number in the top right of the package.

Sanding meat loaf with a pot roast sounds delicious.

edit: I can't be the only one who read it that way...

What grit do you recommend, and wet or dry?

This requires testing and datasheets. My intuition is that because meatloaf needs ketchup, wet. I think you have to add the grits to the meatloaf though.
