Okay, we're still on the same tung and groove pine decking here that we're going to be using
the eight inch drum sander on. One important thing is you can't have the nails or the screws
protruding up from the tops of the board or they will dis-tread the drum sanders' belt
on there, so you have to take a punch and a hammer go along wherever they're sticking
up; if they're recessed don't worry about it; but, if they're sticking up, you just
whack them down if you can and get them out of the way. That's one thing you don't want
to do, is spend all your time changing the belt on the drum sander because it's not the
easiest thing. Also, with the pine wood which is not like redwood, it will twist, it will
bow, it will cup, this is protected by the roof here; so it's not in bad shape but still
it does those things. So like I said you have to make sure that you have your nails and
screws all down; and, you can get a cup in your board, you can get a raise in your board,
you can get a twist; and, your drum sander with a thirty six grit, it doesn't even make
saw dust, it makes saw chunks. So, you just take your time and go over it real nice and
slow and you have to get out all those cups and everything to get all the stain off of
the boards so you can refinish it.
