Step 4: Sanding

using quite a coarse bit of sandpaper

tape it or clamp it down.

then with your drill at a 40-45 degree angle.

bevel the edge of the pipe using the sandpaper & drill, while your holding the trigger down slowly move the drill left to right,because you dont want to be going through the sandpaper.

and start drilling away.

if the tube skates all over the wood.

go back to the sandpaper and change the angle slightly, down and up movements with the drill will get you there.
