There is a big difference between doing inside curves, outside curves and long straights.
Then a difference between roughing out those and finishing those.
Just shaping a plug for a mould I reckon I used at least 10 tools... and that has no inletting.
Roughing out shape - a belt sander and a rough sanding disk like 40 grade in an angle grinder is absolutely gold.
I am inletting a wood stock now and on the table I have have 5 files, 3 chisels, dremel and at least 4 "funny shaped" bits of wood and steel to place sandpaper around.
Oh yeah and essential is a two handed long thin sanding block, and a hand sized cork sanding block. Nothing will ever be flat otherwise.
