I?ve been putting together my shop and practicing on a couple Vans toolbox kits. The first one I barely deburred at all because I just wanted to get to the riveting part. The second one I hand sanded all the cut edges I could reach with sandpaper. I noticed there were a lot of little nooks and crannies I couldn?t easily reach with any tools without spending an inordinate amount of time.
That brought the question to mind: Just how picky do I need to be about deburring and polishing every single edge? I imagine on the plane, just like the tool box, there are a lot of hard to reach places, like the inside of the tabs on wing ribs, etc.
So, do I need to prepare to spend the majority of my build time hunting down and polishing imperfections in hard to reach corners with a jewelers loupe, or is there a happy medium there somewhere, and where would that be exactly?
