Hennin, a 2021 Morse High School graduate now studying engineering at UMass Amherst, has spent the past two years developing an automated sander called SandTronix. The device attaches to a wooden beam, automatically moving along the surface to evenly sand it. While sanding timber frames by hand can take up to 100 hours, Hennin said the SandTronix can get the job done in less than 60, without the muscle fatigue.
