Folding Wooden Stepladder

Step 10 Sand

At this stage I sanded all the pieces with 180 grit sandpaper to clean up the surface and remove pencil marks.

I also ran sandpaper along all of the edges to round them off.

I like to make my projects as accurate, strong, well-made and nicely finished as possible, to push myself to develop my woodworking skills. Although the stepladder will have a utilitarian purpose, that doesn't mean it can't look good.
