Sanding Blocks

much much much better :)

I used to have something similar, but without the cork on the bottom, if you just use wood backing, it’ll give you a straight plane to register the sanding paper against (good to sand straight planes and surfaces).

Nice neat job…well done Jon.

I need to stop just wrapping sandpaper around the first wood block that I have that’s about the right size and make something like this. Nice job. Thanks for sharing the process.

This took me about 5 hours total. Keep in mind I also spent time waxing the bed of my jointer and tablesaw, as well as making a small drill bit rack.

So, about 4 hours of puttering about, less than an hour of actual work. Although I broke it up over saturday and sunday so I could let glue dry!

Thanks for the information. I need to build me some. Good job.

while these are very nice, they would take me much longer. I’m going to stick with my $5 rubber block for now, but maybe someday. If I knew mine would come out this well, maybe i’d try.

Nice cool idea
