Sand Old Finish for Preparation

What happens here

Using an Ekasand 3x4 orbital sander, the craftsman systematically sands the various surfaces of the wooden table. The sander is connected to a dust extraction system, demonstrating good practice for minimizing airborne dust and creating a cleaner work environment. The sanding removes the old finish, creating a clean, uniform surface that is ready for primer and filler application. The change in wood color during sanding indicates the effective removal of the previous coating.

Goal: This step involves sanding the entire furniture piece to remove the existing finish and prepare the wood for new applications. An orbital sander with a dust extraction system is used for efficiency and cleanliness.
