I used an electric DA sander to do the 80, 180, 220, and 320 stages. After that I got a big rubber tub with some water in it, put down heavy blankets in the living room, stole every one of my wife's ghetto towels and wet sanded 600, 1000, 1200, 1500, and 2000 grit while sitting on the floor watching TV in the evenings.

She was patient with me wet sanding in the living room floor and I got to endure watching Dancing With the Stars, Faceoff, The Voice and other similar horrible chick TV shows.

You do realize you didn't have to sit in front of the tv to do this task (especially when that programming was active).
The good thing is I'm no longer concerned about your love of Urban Cowboy chic.....
