I feel you. What an awful bitch. May I suggest hiding your tp and replacing it with a roll of sandpaper?
I thought I was the only one with this experience! My Ndad would only take horrifying, nasty dumps in my bathroom, too. Even worse? He had to walk through my bedroom to get to it, would leave the door open, and would consequently stink up my bedroom.
He also loved to "borrow" my car for road trips when I was a teenager. He believed he was entitled to it, as he paid for the insurance (he forbade me to pay for my own insurance, despite my attempts to do so). He would completely trash the interior with food, garbage, and mud, and would leave cups or bottles of pee in it amongst the garbage. OPEN containers of urine in a car when we lived in the South and regularly experienced 90+ degree weather. That jackass made my car smell like foul, fermented piss for weeks at a time, a smell that lingered even after I meticulously cleaned my car. The one time I told him HE should clean my car since HE trashed it, he vehemently lectured me about respecting him and said I needed to practice responsibility by keeping my own car clean. Yes, he continued to "borrow" my car and my brainwashed self was too scared to say anything about it again.
I did get back at him somewhat. If I got warning (advanced notice was rare) that he'd be using my car, and I was feeling a little brave, I'd run out, tune my radio to the local rap station, and crank the volume and bass to maximum. The resulting boom of sound and surprised shrieking when he started my car were totally worth the eventually blown speakers.
Seriously, though: sandpaper. Like so:
PORTER-CABLE 740000801 4 1/2-Inch x 10yd 80 Grit Adhesive-Backed Sanding Roll https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000223SI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_0xc6ybA32TXSX
Edit: clarity and formatting
I'd guess it was used as a dispenser for sandpaper or other materials that came on a roll https://www.amazon.com/Sandpaper-Dispenser-Furniture-Restoration-Automotive/dp/B07457VPWY
If the pieces are pretty far off I would make a router sled

lots of youtube videos showing how to make and use these. I have flattened and thicknessed planed many boards with mine.

If you only need a little bit of flattening, or want to clean up a board that you just routed down: Order some adhesive sandpaper roll

Obtain a flat strip of granite from a local marble countertop place, they gave me a leftover for free. 4x30". Apply the sandpaper to the granite. Pencil cross hatches onto your board and sand until they all disapear.
If you do pursue diamond stones, here is a list of what I have.. I am not sure if this the be-all-end-all, and I can definitely recommend trying lots of things, because sharpening seems to be something so personal. Just wanted to collate in one place what I have settled on thus far.
This is one of the cheaper setups. I think it would be interesting to try ceramics at the top end, and better leather for a multi-strop setup.. Just ran out of funds after trying several failed other methods ;)
OP gave you some good advice about research. I'd add that if you can somehow find someone local who can show you what sharp really is, that would be a big bonus. I haven't found that person yet myself, because I am a hermit.

80 grit self adhesive sandpaper would cover it.
All the crappy farm tables and diy projects on r/woodworking a your post gets removed, wtf.
I have a rikon half speed 1850 rpm 8" grinder with a 80 grit CBN cubic boron nitride wheel and a veritas tool rest. Shapton ceramic 320, 1000, 5000, 12000 stones. A 36"x6" 3 cm thick piece of granite and use adhesive backed sandpaper rolls. I wax the granite to allow the paper to come off the granite easily.

I searched for "wide mesh sanding screen." I think the only issue is determining the grit. Also, you might have to buy one million yards of the stuff.
Are these what you are recommending? Thank you so much for your help.

I've built a Traditions flintlock pistol and followed these videos to get my bearings on what to do. part 1 part 2. Here is a different series of videos I referenced: part 1
Your kit does not look radically different from the level of completeness from the Traditions, so give those a watch to get a sense. Remember that getting it functional is not difficult, and you can spent as much time finishing it to perfection as your patience allows. By hours, you're looking at shaping the stock to fit your separate parts.
When you get sandpaper, I found a wood turning box where you rip off what you need as you go was handy.
Good luck!
I would get a sheet of plate glass and a long strip of sandpaper. Then as long as your lumber is reasonably flat to begin with it shouldn't take too much to clean up the surface/make it flat for gluing. I haven't actually done this, but I think it would be worth a try.
