Making an Aspis - Ring Method (Visual Aids)
#16
My needs for sanding the inside of the shield change somewhat so I attack it in a different way. First I lay down a board and roll a towel up and place it under the shield like a donut to pad it from getting scratched too much on the face and to allow me to pitch the end I am working up some. I place a weight on one extreme side of the shield to drop the side opposite the work area.

This allows me to get the angles I need and keeps the shield nice and firm in place to free me up to focus on sanding without the shield moving. I then work my way in a similiar method to the outside using specific angles to get what I need. The following video will show you some tricks.
