What is a hand sander?

A hand sander is a carpentry specialist who uses specific tools to repair or smooth furniture and other wood products. Though your primary job duties in this career involve using sanding tools, you may also need to be adept at working with chisels, files, or steel wool. Some employers require previous manufacturing or carpentry experience. Other qualifications include completion of a sanding or carpentry apprenticeship. In addition to furniture, sanders with specialized skills may work on hardwood floors or wooden structures.
