"Alright, moving on with the bunraku arm control. The next thing that you're going to do is sand a little bit off of this metal hasp joint. This is really cosmetic. But I like to do it because I think it makes the wrist joint look slick. So I'm going to use the rotary sander for that and put on my Elvis goggles. One thing that you do need to be aware of when you're working with the rotary sander and this joint is to be very careful not to let the access, the axel of the joint itself hit the sander. Because it will blow out your joint. So this is a delicate little operation. I like to finish up with the sanding sponge just to get those edges off."
