The back panel was going 'walkabout' all over the place so I had to cramp it down to the B&D Workmate for a few days:
...but this was only a temporary measure as I need to have access to the whole face to sand and finish it. I was doing a bit of serious head scratching last night trying to fathom out how to hold it flat so that I could get the Festool sander to within 3mm of the edge...then I remembered that I had some gash buttons in a drawer somewhere and they would probably do the trick if I use a chunky bit of 18mm ply. This morning I went over to Wickes in town and bought a quarter sheet (quite good stuff btw):
...and screwed the whole panel down proper flat. I had to shoot in one or two of the buttons to make them grip at about 3mm, but essentially the panel can now be sanded and polished - Rob
