Chris,
I need to re-grain a new set of BK Side rails ( the grain is diagonal now). Do you think this is doable?
I'm thinking belt sander on the bench... What would you do? Sending them back is not an option.
If belt sander makes sense what grits do you suggest?
Thanks,
Bob

Quoted from High_End_Pins:Definitely doable.
The main thing is you will need to stay perfectly straight.
Any arching or less than straight back and forth will ruin the graining process or at least make it continue on longer than needed.
I think I would wrap a nice straight 2x4 that is as long as the sheet of sandpaper in 180
Secure the rail to something sturdy and walk it back and forth staying as straight as I could only reversing direction once I ran off.
Once I got the old diagonal grain out I would only walk it one direction with 320 to finish it off.
Chris,
Thanks for the reply. I finally got around to doing this and... well i didn't have the patience for doing it by hand. I made a fence for my belt sander and even with that it took about 3hrs per rail. i started with 80 grit and finished off with 120.
for anyone doing this i would suggest:
A- start on the top two edges - leave the side for last.
B- always start and stop the sander in contact with the work ( any "burnouts" will take a while to sand out)
C- start in the middle of the part and get that pretty good before you go to the ends. otherwise you will end up taking too much off the end and it will be like a razor.
See photos of the sander and the "Burnout"
Sure would have been nice if they made these right in the first place, but that's another story.
Thanks,
Bob
