Yes. But if that were the case, then everybody would do it, and it wouldn't be so cool to have everything polished, would it? The most beautiful polished surfaces are the contours IMO.

That sander works great, but if I could just get a waterproof 1/2" random pattern orbital sander with a swivel tip, I'd be in heaven, donkeys would be flying, horses would grow feathers...

The jigs of the Dremel sander are still a little too big, but since the smallest one is only 1/4" wide, you can reach some nasty stuff that you can't with your finger tips... and you can reach it at 40,000 RPMs (which is why this thing saves so much time). You can do the dirty work with power tools, but you still have to do all of the 220 grit+ finishing sanding by hand if you want a good finish.

I have to go play santa clause. As much as I want to get this project over with, I may have to put it down for a few days, or else all I'm going to get for X-mas is a lump of coal. I'm determined to have it done by new year's, though. I'll post the progress.

Merry Christmas everybody.
