The saga continues...

Yes, still working on that first project (book shelf). I have everything
cut to size and shape and sanded down to 220. So I'm ready for construction
and glue up. That is, as soon as I get that 220 dust off the pieces.

So I hear I don't want to wipe down with a damp rag, because that will raise
the grain on the wood again. Advice seems to be to use a tack cloth. I
hear you can buy them (the easy but expensive route), make them (mineral
spirits and a rag???), and the adult ed instructor said he just uses a rag
with Endust (first I've ever heard/read of).

Expensive? I bought one a couple of weeks ago for 88 cents. It's
well worth just getting one from the store, IMO. Otherwise, if
they've got an air line, you could just blow it off. (Just make sure
there isn't water in the compressor first by blowing it against the
table or something)

So what's a beginner to do?

Thanks
