I bought an old dresser that's beautiful but needs to be sanded. I bought a good sander and started at it tonight, but omg!!! Its going to take me 100 years of sanding to get this done. There must be a better way. I was thinking maybe some kind of scraper, you know those things that look like a cheese slicer that could take off a thin layer to get me started. I don't want to use chemicals...can anyone please give some time saving advice?

If you don't want to handle chemical stripping, why not take it to a business that strips it for you? If you don't, you are probably doomed to the 100 years of sanding. I don't think I would go the sand plasting route, you are almost sure to damage the piece of furniture.
Good luck with your project.
