Thread: Flattening blanks for glueup

I know this is a dumb question, just looking for basic reassurance/mentorship in hard times (lost both jobs at once via coronavirus)

Sanding block on lathe draw lines around disk and sand until all gone then check with a good straight edge and hold up to a light to see if slight gaps are seen.
Wheh it is really flat glue to your project and when dry flatten front side.

depending on how much you need to remove, a large sheet of sandpaper glued on a flat surface (eg melamine). With some careful measurement and management you can joint most things that way, but be wary of sanding in one direction too much as you can create wedge shaped objects (with really nice flat surfaces, but wedges none the less)

can I suggest moving or adding this to general woodwork, there are many Melb members, surely someone would be willing to share their sanding equipment for/with you.

If your new at lathe work Id starting with simple pieces, ie 1 piece of timber rather than pieces glued ...2 bobs worth.
