Embrace the sanding. Sanding makes me feel like I am becoming a true craftsman.
I love using spokeshaves, but I've never been able to get the hang of using a spokeshave with a rounded sole to shape a concave curve. I usually give up and grab a rasp.I get that feeling when I use my Spoke Shave and Hand Planes. especially the Spoke Shave.
Spoke shave was new to me. Had to look that one up.I get that feeling when I use my Spoke Shave and Hand Planes. especially the Spoke Shave.
Clarification: Sanding ROCKETS is cathartic.Spent the day sanding our wood floor to refinish it - wish I had been sanding rockets instead....
Agree 110% to bothI love using spokeshaves, but I've never been able to get the hang of using a spokeshave with a rounded sole to shape a concave curve. I usually give up and grab a rasp.
And there's nothing quite like the feeling of a sharp, well-adjusted plane when it's producing nice long full-width 1-2 mil shavings. [Which are excellent for staring bonfires.]

Maybe a more accurate statement might be ‘sanding makes some folks apoplectic’? Or perhaps, ‘sand with apoplectic fervor’.Sanding is apoplectic.
Come to think of it, when you wrote “cathartic”, was that just a typo/autocorrect boo-boo for “arthritic“?
If I sand something and I say afterwards "Well, that was enjoyable" then it was cathartic.
