Well howdy neighbor (I'm in Oregon)! I, too, sanded my arms off before switching to a hand plane that I set up as a scrub plane. It was kind of mind-blowing how much faster and easier it was, but I of course didn't figure that out until I'd also tried a belt sander and random orbital sander for days... live and learn lol.
I'll put together a post for the coffee table (or dig up my reddit/imgur one) and share it here, and I'll tag you, assuming I can figure out how to do so.
