So planning on building a DIY desk this weekend using a solid oak worktop which is 3000mm x 720mm x 40mm (which will be trimmed length ways to fit the room) in size. For securing it I'm planning on sitting it ontop of some painted CLS which will be secured to 2 external walls & 1 stud wall and screwing it into the CLS to stop any wobble. My only concern is potential sag. Anyone more experienced in woodworking have any pointers/suggestions?

Good Afternoon:

I am on the finishing stage (220 grit), for resurfacing a large window trim moulding.

I know I should of just bought new trim, but I have already applied homemade putty, and am currently in the 220 grit phase.

In the pictures there are six surfaces, labelled A1, A, B, C, D,E:

In what sequence should I sand this?

After puttying up holes, I should go from A1 to E?

I noticed that when you sand one area, it makes another nearby area rougher?

Thanks for the suggestions.
