Default Radius Sanding
It seems Larry has found his radiused sanding stick. Here the top and back sides of the rims are being radius sanded prior to the top and back being attached to the rims. The top and back were braced in a radiused dish with radius-sanded braces, so both have a slight curvature. I don't recall the radii Larry uses...I'll post it later when he replies to my email.

EDIT---Larry Replies: "It's 28' for the top 20' for the back...16" for the FB."







The trick is in the angle of that edge of the sanding stick. Two different angles for the different top and back radii.

You're longing to be
But it all comes out on the inside
Eventually
