Nice design. And you’re right, a simple, attractive, clever device that you can start and finish in a short time. Satisfying.

Ah yes Wood Magazine. I made them myself a while back.
I’m going to lead a workshop on making them at our woodworking club in a month or so.
I put 1/16” cork on the bottom of the block to help with the sanding. It gives the sanding paper a softer feel on the sanding.

Now I do need a few of those myself. Great looking sanding blocks.

I too have made several of these and have given all of them away except for one that I kept for my own use. The reaction often has been sort of like the one I get to the cutting boards I give away as gifts—the comment being “that is too pretty to ding up by using it in the shop every day”.

Cool beans! I have a Veritas sanding block from Lee Valley that I absolutely LOVE. After sitting back and looking at it – I didn’t think it’d be too awful hard to make. I really like the ones you made – they are sure much nicer looking! :)

I think I’ll make some of those… lend a touch of class to my… uh…. Rustic? shall we say…. shop.

I made a couple of these back in 1986 when the project first came out in the magazine and they are still going strong.

Made the same one. Used adhesive felt for the bottom. Seems like a lot of people use cork as well.
