I am getting ready to build my second Wee Robbie double paddle canoe. I have just purchased a Performax(Jet) 1020 sander. After cutting the strips, I plan to run each side thru the sander to a finish of .188 thickness. I think having no blade marks and uneveness in the strips will save a lot of time in the final fairing and finishing. I have two more operations to get out a strip and I spent $700, am I crazy?
