So I'm trying to get better at maintaining the sharpness of the transitions when hand sanding. What I do a lot of the time is do the hand sand the main bevel and then do the flats with the surface grinder(belts, not wheel). The issue I'm having now for instance is when I try and touch up one of the surfaces, or remove a mark/scratch, the sandpaper will end up touching the other surface across the transition(which a lot of times is going in a different direction). I use a flattened out piece of 1084 as my sandpaper holder. I don't wrap the paper around it multiple times. The paper is just the single layer against the 1084, with both the ends coming up from the front a rear, and being pinched together at the top. When doing clips or swedges I use my grinder, but I'd like to sand them by hand too.
Any of you guys have any tips or advice? I'd appreciate any help.
Oh, and I've watched Nick Wheeler's hand sanding videos many times. I have a decent grasp of hand sanding, I'm just kind of stuck.
