Call me crazy, but can you buy or borrow an electric sander?
This must be what going mad feels like.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Electric sanders are for wussies! Real DIYers scratch the paint off with their fingernails!
Have we heard this, Shakespeare's plays done in the original accent? I'm enchanted.

I have an electric sander, but pretty much have to do these bits by hand. It's the curved bits of the rail.

Concave curved, I should mention. The convex, I can go over with the sander in all but a few places.

Hey, looks like the This Old House in Silverlake is putting in inlay in the same pattern mine is!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tsk, tsk, Dinosaur comics. Gay couples reproduce too.

Wait, mine is fancier. Heehee! See? [link]

Wow, that is some fancy inlay.

It's in both rooms on the first floor. No inlay upstairs. But yeah, I love it. One corner is a little rough and someday I'll probably want to replace some boards, but I'm going to preserve/replicate it when the time comes.

Because books.
Dremel Rotary Tool for the curved bits, sara? I want one so much, even though it scares me a little. I loved my Black and DeckerMouse Sander, too, but then it broke.
