What happens here
Begin by using an orbital sander with an attached dust collection hose to sand the flat surfaces of the furniture piece, such as the tabletop. Move the sander in a consistent pattern to ensure even material removal. The dust collection system, held in the other hand, effectively captures sanding dust, maintaining a cleaner workspace and reducing airborne particles. After the flat surfaces, carefully sand any decorative or curved elements, like the upright posts, adapting your grip and sander movement as needed to reach all areas.
Goal: Smooth and prepare the furniture surface
