Hello Eric. What grit sand paper do you use on your drum sander to sand guitar tops and backs with. I built a drum sander and I'm ready to put sand paper on it. Thanks love your work.

Paul Strange, the short answer is 100 grit. the long answer is it depends... generally 100 grit is coarse enough to get the job done, but not so coarse that it creates more work later when you have to smooth out previous grits, so start with that. Thanks for the kind words. im glad you like the videos!
