Nice idea will have to try it with some slightly used belts, they should come in handy around the shop…thanks patron.

Those look like they’d work great for cornering. I gave up on block sanding for flats though. Hand-sanding follows the grain better for me…
Some guy wanted to sell me a palm sander for $5… I thanked him, but told him I already have two, a right and a left hand model, variable speed, cordless, and always within arm’s reach. I held up my hands and described circles in the air… :)

Good idea,Thanks

Pretty spiffy idea. I’ve got some belts left over from when my benchtop sander died and now I have a good use for them.

Super idea…....being woodworking challenged, this looks like something I could do without messing it up too bad

A great idea David. Nice use of older belts.

Thanks David. I am a bit of a skinflint and this sort of thing suits me very well.

I use these myself. In all shapes and sizes. I’ve got a couple glued to 1/8th x 3/4×24 inches yellow heart strips. Great for chamfers on edges in smaller areas. Fun to add a little detail.
