1960's school desk restoration project

[07Negative]

I'm trying to restore a old school desk for my kid. It's the kinda desk with a metal base and lid that opens. Only to fall on ur head looking for that last piece of gold fish snack. The chair swivels with 2 pieces of wood about 3", going across the back.
I need some tips on how to get into the tights spots to remove the paint. I'm using my angle grinder for all the big parts w a wire brush attachment. The seat is all put together w what I'm assuming is a rivit. It's not nut n bolts.
I'll sand down the wood parts, which appear to be plywood. And restain & seal them. Any feed back would be appreciated.
The kid is off at the grandparents for a week. In that time, I'm trying to get her a play room together for when she comes home.

There is are vibrating sanders that have a pad shaped like the front of a clothing iron. Just right for corners

I've seen those. Kinda a Multi tool kinda dealio. My Dremel burnt out last night. I also went thru 6 Dremel bits to cover maybe a 4"x4" area. Dremels are junk nowa days. My old was a boss. But someone helped themselves to it.

I will vouch for the HF Multi-tool being useful as heck....and you can buy two in case the first is bad. I have not managed to burn up my first one yet, used it to cut 35 6x10 vents in the soffit on my house, along with many other things.

My wife uses one of these for her crafts with picture frames, etc, and likes it.
