If your belt part works use it. you can use a spindle but dont gouge them. Or the finer side of a hoof rasp. got to be careful not to splinter the glass.

Hows that plane blade looking?  :)

I do mine on the belt set up on the Rigid.  Secret is to keep it moving and take your time.

Hand sanding :notworthy: Aren't you the intrepid one. Hope you are taking regular breaks to flog yourself, self abuse requires dedication :biglaugh:

I remember a guy named Hera several years back that did a whole TD with hand saw rasps and sand paper. Even hand rubbed the finish with a mix of petroleum jelly and super glue.
