In an earlier thread about a video with lot of wrong ways of doing things, someone mentioned the guy was sanding a bat wrong.

What is the correct way to sand a spindle while on the lathe?

I have noticed a few times the sand paper jumps back at me, so I don't do it that way any more.

Is there a Youtube or other video reference for sanding technique?

Also learned today to keep my mouth shut while turning.
