1000 grit can still be quite rough depending on the finish you want ;) Don't think that as it wears it'll be finer, you'll stil have those bigger peaks of material that will stuff the overall finish ;)
Keep going to finer grit paper & unused stuff to get the best finish...
Love what you are attempting to do :)
Yes Mark you are correct. I think I said 320 grit but it's known as Super Fine which is 350 - 600.Quote:

Attachment 5369 Panels A are attached, considerably adding to the weight. Dowels glue and screws used to increase strength.
