Step 8Sanding
With the bottom plate temporarily in place, you may sand the top and sides of the case. I used a belt sander to do the round sanding of the edges, then did a finish sand by hand using 320 grit sandpaper. Since all the layers including the veneer, main case and bottom plate are all being sanded as one piece, they end up perfectly flush with each other. Nice!
I sanded the top of the case with 320 grit sandpaper until it was silky smooth. I did the same with the bottom plate. You can use even finer sandpaper if you wish, but it really isn't necessary if you're using softwood products to build the case like I did.
When the sanding is complete, wipe the case clean with a lint-free cloth. I used the T-shirt off my own back. Well, an old T-shirt that had been turned to rags. ;)
