When I sand free hand to much I get pain in my index finger joints. Reminds me of a song You’re Giving Me Good Vibrations. 
JEMI, next time you sand, try holding that index finger on top of the sander rather than under it.  Reminds me of a song I'm about to write... no title yet but "Let's ease the pain".

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
