Looking Good Ian
Regarding Sanding and wooling (if that's a word), go to the vectric site and look up the tutorial given for the Paradise box similar to those Carve One posts. In the tutorial, they list some sanding discs from Mcmaster Carr that are a bit less of a pita to use as compared to wool and sandpaper. I use them on a rotary tool to clean up small details where sanding is a bit difficult. It may be worth you time to check these out and I'm assuming that you can get them down under. I would look up the number for you but I'm at work and expect the boss to stop in at any moment!!!!
Looking forward to your finished project noiw "back to work".
