Hi, I recently purchased a late 1970s townhouse that needs some work to freshen it up. I'm having a go at learning new skills and doing what I can. My current project is the timber window frames in the lounge room. I'd like to strip them and then restain.
I've read a lot of the other discussions on sanding, so now understand the general process - moving from coarser grits to finer grits. So, my question here is which tools would you recommend that might make this task easier for someone who has never done this before?
The frames are 2.1m high, the first surface extending out from the glass is 65mm, then the narrower part of the frame on the front is 28mm deep x 23mm wide. Those areas that are already sanded were done by the glazier, but I need to finish them. I'm also aware that I'll need to fill any cracks + the screw holes when I take the curtain rail down.
I've purchased a Ryobi Detail Sander, and sandpaper (80, 120, 180 and 240), and hand sanding block. But there's a rather bewildering array of equipment in the sanding aisle and various multi / rotary tools etc.
Any advice would be appreciated.
