I usually bung my 15 year old daughter a couple of quid for manual labour but don trust her with this  guess i will have to get into training. “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

I am ambidextourous.( looks like me spellin' is naf today)..in my case it means i can do beggar all with both hands... as for sanding ....i also used my orbital........but i think one of those mouse types look like they would do the job nicely....going to start hunting round for prices....but the missus says no buying as we go on a short break in 10 days...

I'm a purist, only hand tools for me, mostly home made. Fortunately I am just as good at this kind of job with both hands. You can train yourself to be slightly ambi-dextrous, it is a lot of effort, but can be done. Part time modeller, full time biker

Scratch build of Pirate ship "Neptune" (Based on cutter "HMS Aldebaran"
