How is this so underrated? You just broadened my horizons by a lot! Thank you! I can't wait to try all these new things that I've learned!

[@Anikasdiylife]

that means a lot to me! Thank you!

[@LH-vy8fe]

Lots of great information. You hear a lot about how important sanding is, but I've never seen it broken down like this. Thanks for showing the various examples. That was very informative!

[@Anikasdiylife]

Glad it was helpful!

I'm so glad!

[@ChgoNatv68]

Thank you! I wish I had found your channel before I started my dresser-turned-potting bench project. This sanding information is extremely helpful. I stopped at 150 and was going to buy stain today, but now I know that I need some 220 grit discs to finish my sanding first. Also loved your introduction to the miter saw on another video. Well done!

Excellent video. I discovered you tonight because of your jigsaw video. You have earned my subscription.

[@Anikasdiylife]

You are so welcome!

[@brianmoore581]

I've been sanding projects for 33 years and I didn't know some of the stuff you talked about. Thank you for explaining so much. I will try not to skip sandpaper grits too drastically from now on.

[@Anikasdiylife]

You are so welcome!

[@carmelcarlton6829]

Thanks Anika for all the relevant info on sanding!

[@Anikasdiylife]

You bet!

[@sellabuick]

This was excellent. So comprehensive and explained all the no-no's to avoid. I'm glad I saw this before my big sanding project this weekend! The example of the stain was so helpful, and the tip to never skip more than a certain number of grit.

[@Anikasdiylife]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you

[@kevindumas1743]

very informative as usual, thank you. I think the best point you made is the one about sanding between coats of paint.This makes a big difference in the final finish surface of whatever was painted. I always found that the most important time to do this is after the first coat because of the wood grain gets lifted from the paint. Sanding can be very therapeutic…😀

[@Anikasdiylife]

Great point!

[@jules2713]

Thanks!

[@mytinybeachhouse2447]

I'm about to take on a big sanding project, so this was really helpful. Does the type of wood also affect how to sand? I need to sand several CLT pieces and know that CLT is a soft wood. Any tips for that?

[@kevaljoshi7594]

Great video anika what alternatives i can use for shop vac if you live in apartments?

[@delliott777]

How are you doing? I remember you had an injury? Give us an update. Glad to see you’re doing well.

[@Anikasdiylife]

Doing much better! I am able to do small projects... can't lift a lot of heavy weight just yet... but step-by-step getting back to normal. Thank you so much for asking!

[@ScottBarrett-r6o]

[@RonaldBeyer-z3p]

Anika witch sander are the best bcs I had 3allready, but I still do not know what one to buy

[@ainxtyan]

How do you know when it's time to move onto the next grit? Say you're sanding a 4x8, you won't be drawing with a pencil on the whole board.

[@janethutton572]

Where can you get the adapter to the dust collection to go onto your shop vac.

[@Anikasdiylife]

The vacuum hose kit is linked in the description.
