That looks nice! I've noticed that you're using the 3M hand sander. Have you had any issues with the paper staying in place with that? If so, how did you fix it?
Yes, indeed. My work around is always having two layers of sanding paper in the sander. Often a 150 and 320 grid paper. Like that, I always have the two grid stages at hand that I use the most for rough and fine sanding. But generally, I really like the 3M products, because of their good quality. But if there are other good tips out there, please share in the comments.
@missionwood oh man, that's a great idea. Now I'm wondering why I didn't think of that. It would hold on just fine with forward to back sanding, but as soon as I go to sand over a profile, the paper would begin to shift. Thank you sir
Thank you! And yes, the way shown here is pretty labour intensive. But imagine I would do the routing of the pockets with a table router, sawing the stripes with a table saw, using a clamping station, ... . . It just would be a fraction of labour. On my chanel, I show how to build top of the line furnitures only using some handtools - see th-cam.com/video/XPkqed3tg9M/w-d-xo.html . That is my speciality. And yes, the difference using good hand tools and a big machine park is not the achievable quality, but time and labour. So perfectly correct!
Essentially edge banding, right?

As you said, labour intensive - but a great solution for home made cabinets that you can be proud of! Thanks!
