Tools of the Trade
I am doing this pretty much by hand with tools I happened to have lying around. The little srewdiver is really a bit of a chisel (I am not sure whether it came that way or whether Dad filed it down for some reason). I am using three grades of sandpaper--80, 120, and 220. The scissors are a spare pair of kitchen scissors to cut the sandpaper. I am just sure that they will be sharper and better after this. (sarc). The torch is to darken the edges. Steve said that they use a torch to do that. However, the edges on mine are darker already, so I am not sure how that will turn out. As you can see, I have been doing my share of cleanup and sanding.
