Here is a wonderful, inexpensive tool for sanding your edges nice and soft from @tranquilgoddess - β€œI always like to create a smooth edge to my pieces by using these sandpaper blocks! πŸ‘ŒπŸ» You’ll see in the video I sand at an angle to ensure there isn’t a sharp edge πŸ’I get these 150/250 grit blocks from Harbor Freight for $6! πŸ˜†πŸ™ŒπŸ»β€ This is such a great tip because the foam blocks are nice to hold and maintain their edge like a sanding stick!
