Island Structure Layup Complete!

Island Structure Layup Complete!

The last of the clamps are back in their storage position and its time for the sanders to do their thing!

The last of the band boards is in place and the layup is "curing."

With the clamps removed, about 20 minutes with 80 grit on the belt sander removed almost all the stains and glue! 

This shot is from nearly directly overhead (using a 6' step ladder). I changed to 120 grit (finest belt sandpaper I could find) and sanded another 20 minutes or so. I get sloppy when I get tired, so I put the sander down for now and will resume Monday. 

Next - Sanding, more sanding, even more sanding, then finish sanding with the B&D orbital sander!  Then, varnish!
