I'm about to put together my first real project and I'm not sure of the order in which I should do things. Do you wait until the very end to sand or do you sand the cut pieces once they're cut to side? I originally thought you'd sand right away to make it easier to mark the stock but that'd change the dimensions, wouldn't it? What's the basic order of building something? Cut to rough size, joint/plane, cut to size, assemble, sand, finish?
