[WOODPIE]

Randy,

I'd start with a 40 grit belt, and use only the weight of the sander, or even hold up on it a bit, as pressure. When the belt clogs up, (and it will) change to another belt. The belt you have taken off will be hot, and if you allow it and the paint boogers to cool, they will crumble off easier. Take the cool loaded belt between your thumbs and fingers and roll it into a tighter radius than what it is presented with on the sander's rollers. The cold paint boogers should peel/flake off easily.

Move on to finer grits as you approach the wood's surface.

Having said all that, I think you still have a major PIA removing the finish that is on all the non-flat surfaces. Maybe your strategery should involve both mechanical and chemical elements.

And again, having said all that, I would personally replace, rather than refinish, all the items you mention, save for the windows. If I could ever justify and value my personal time highly enough, the windows would be outta there, too.

What do you have more of, time or money?
