I will have to check on the power of the sander. I just bought the best one available at the time and don't remember the specs. I will check for you though.
As far as glue, I use stainable outdoor carpenters glue for the rings and a gallon container of plain PVA white glue for the cloth covers (linen, canvas), and I would use contact cement for leather that you can buy at Tandy's Leather. I'll include that in the information once I start gluing.
If noone care about the steps after this I can stop documenting this and speed it up. If you still want the process then I will continue with how I do it as one alternative.
The majority of PM's I get are about how I get my shield's paint jobs done so I am planning on putting a lot of information about how I do it. I have made 40+ shields from various cultures and time periods at this point and have gotten it kind of down to an art for my own method. These methods works for me.
