I used square file to smooth on each edge of the doorstop and then I used half-round file to cut in the place I want. After smoothing the edge I started on sanding, I used the garnet paper and hold it by the sanding blocks . I used three different type of garnet papers to sand my doorstop, fist one is NO. 100 that means it has 100 pieces of Garnet in 10 mm square, then I used NO. 250, then finally NO.600. Each side of the doorstop after sanding is very smooth and clean.<br />Why<br />To make each side smooth is for painting, because if not then it would be rough when I paint it.<br />What next<br />The next thing I will do is paint the doorstop in the way I want then my project will be finished.<br />Emotion <br />It is very interesting for what I did today; first I never knew that you could use a half-round file as a saw, and secondly it is the first time I knew there are different between each kind of garnet paper, and I never knew it has to work with sanding blocks.<br />Learner Profile<br />I think I am a risks taker, because today is the first time I used the garnet paper, it is first time and it is a new tool for me. And it is pretty reflective because when I using the garnet paper I have to use it in grade order, it has to go from the less number of garnets on the garnet paper to the most garnets on the garnet paper.<br /> <br />This is the NO.100 garnet paper. This is the NO.600 garnet paper.<br /> <br />This is the NO.250 garnet paper. This is I using a No.250 garnet paper <br /> to smooth the edge of the doorstop.<br />
