Sanding Tip: Use HARD Lighting to Catch Problems Before The Finish

- See sanding scratches more easily by using a single, hard light source. This has helped me identify sanding issues before applying the finish.

Light angle matters a lot as well. Worth the time to shine a flashlight or other directional source at different angles to see the effect on surface quality visibility if a person has not before. Touch is super important for some things too, especially highly glossy and reflective surfaces like automotive paint or lacquer.
Thank you. Very informative. I will use it. Just subscribed.
Yes, more about lighting. Lighting is very important.
I’m debating about the priority of upcoming videos. What about lighting do you think I should explore that isn’t already over-explored on CZcams? Seeing your other comments it seems you are familiar with many topics related to this.
Task lighting? Philosophical aspects?
Shop tour? Really interested in how you came up with and put together everything. Why your drawers have the open handles and if you would do it again? How'd the tray holder/cabjnet for your bits and things come to be? How do all your horizontal work surfaces function for you? How do your two shallow lathe drawers work out? Many more questions like that.
No need to clean up.
I'm considering doing a video response to this. It won't be a full shop tour (at this point), but your questions bring up some interesting influences worth sharing. Thanks for the comment. Stay tuned.
Video response up!
Ever since watching "North by Northwest", I routinely check hotel notepads for anything interesting by doing that
Googled it. Interesting!

Good light is one of the most neglected aspects of doing fine work. I am a light freak. I collect those drawing table articulating lights. I have over a dozen of them. Got them attached to the couch ... bed...all the desks...two on my lathe cart. one more on my general junk cart. Can't have too much light.
Great tip, do you think a torch is a good idea or something bigger?
Torches are always the best answer but I don’t understand your question as it relates to this video.
I mean a torch rather than a large site lighting on a stand.
Hope that makes sense, thanks
I wonder if the same trick will work for abrasive grits for sharpening chisels etc.
As in, stray grits that would cause a problem with sharpening?
Keith's Test Garage well it’s the same as sanding insofar as your goal is to lay out a uniform field of scratches with each successive field of scratch being narrower than the previous and thus obliterating them if your field of coverage is complete.
Seth Bracken ah ok so you’re talking about inspecting the metal. I expect it would help but you might still need some magnification for the super fine stuff?
