I have about a dozen garden tools like shovels hoes and others of the like. They have been sitting outside for years. Most of them have wooden handles. If you use them with bare hands, you immediately get hands full of little splinters, small enough that one can't see them but they really irritate the hands. Even some of the tools with fiberglass handles do the same thing.
Any way, I'm try to figure a way to sand those handles to get rid of all that weather caused stuff. I have a jaw horse to hold the tools in. I was thinking of taking a sanding belt and cutting it so I can hold it by each end and running it up and down on the handles. That just seems like a lot of work and time. Anybody got any better ideas?
