On sanding as tranquilizer (though as you´d put it right, scrapping is the art), how you could be triggering your wife to being unfaithful, yet possibly prepare for outcome at pension and how appealing woodwork is anyway.
-And how you realize aging when a grown man´s grandfather was already building stage sets for broadcasting station.

Not only does sanding suck but it leaves a dirty surface. Scraping and planing is smooth and addictive. But I think the point of the word was lost in translation.

Agreed about scraping, but main consensus, I think, being the capturing nature of this material. All starting with the atmosphere of lots of it around you. -Blessed are folks in wood houses, ... sigh. That constancy with the micro climate in your room, scent etc. What smoother environment can there be?
The wall hooks with chisels´n stuff calling.
Wondering whether I´ll ever be having such a chamber to retreat to.
(For sculpturing. -Which in sight of runaout would largely introduce sanding again. And I love it when it gets to final grits mega smooth surfaces.)

Guess that´s a drag with a typical flamenca material.
When 14, out of a sudden hay fever came up while I was crossing a wheat field. Annoying, but vastly went away after years. (Now I sneeze a handful of times about twice per year. Not troublesome at all.) In the late eighties then, a test revieled that me was allergic against everything they tested. Even coffee and potatoes. Didn´t care and don´t really notice the sensibility.
