    Default Nothing makes me feel old like this tablet

    Hello to everyone, I hope I get the hang of this part of posting.
    I have loved timber for a long time, done woodturning, helped build our own home, and raised three sons who love timber also, I am 65 y.o. Female. Hope to be able to join in the group. Just need to get an idea how to upload pictures, where to post questions and help others if possible.

    Welcome WOS. Maybe time for an electric sander?

    Good job on passing on your love of wood to your sons!

    An electric sander would be too savage on red cedar, and the job is so fiddled.
    After reading other posts the other day ,I’m beginning to think of taking them completely apart to seal the ends before rejoining.
    Thank you for your interest, you probably think “get the sons to do it” but NO they have their families and work to take up their time and now I’m retired ? I have all the time in the world ? Apparently ! But do I have the energy?
    Let me know if the picture doesn’t show. Not sure I’ve done it right.

    Nothing makes me feel older than watching my 18 month old grandson selecting and interacting with a kids picture book on SWMBO's tablet.

    And don't worry if you post an image and it is inverted. Happens to many of us all the time.
    Welcome.

    Welcome Worn out....Umm.. Not sure I should use that abbreviation, but in any event think of a nickname as a term of endearment.

    Your picture, I think is a window? I understand about the cedar (cedar or western red cedar, which is softer again) being soft. I think I would use a hand scraper to remove flaking paint and to get into the corners, but then I would use a ROS . Remember you can choose a finer grit to control your sanding and avoid removing anything except minimal amounts of timber: Really just back to fresh timber. The ROS (Random Orbital Sander) is a very gentle device and would ordinarily only be used for finish sanding.

    Regards
    Paul
