I discovered last evening that a 1/2 oz. size TicTac box works pretty good. It's about the right size for a quarter sheet of sandpaper that has been quartered again. (2 1/4" x 2 3/4") The plastic box has some flexibility but not too much. Fill it with your favorite wet sanding solution for a "ready reservoir". Throw in a few BB's for some sound effects and you can sand in time with your favorite music. I'll bet you guys have come up with some strange devices to use as sanding pads also? Nelson |

New flip flops run through the bandsaw. Soft, flexible, cheap. I think that idea came from Frank of Frets.com? |

My large rubber erasers from the Office Depot are one of my favorite sanding blocks. They'll even sand around the curves after the sides have been glued up. |

While I was trying to stuff my fingers down inside the ramps of a slot head to sand them (without changing the shape) I was thinking it would be a great idea to make erasers with sanding grits embedded into them. They could be shaped to fit into those spots but still be abrasive. |

What's next? Tampons to polish the sound hole? Will it never end? |

We have wide roll plotters at work. The paper is wound on plastic tubular cores that are great for sanding 'blocks'. I use rubber cement to retain the sandpapers. You can get several pads from one tube. Another office item I have used is empty dry erase marker tubes from the conference room wastebaskets. |

I dont want to scare you but depending on what you use this round form to sand, You might want to put a straight edge to the tube be for using. Being in a engineering department myself, we also have these tubes, and I have yet to find one that did not have at leat a 16" devatin in roundness and dia. over a 12" length 
This can cause problems if used to sand sides and such. especially if done before routing binding channels and using pilot bearings. |

I was warching a thing on TV a while back and some one was tring to sand mouldings, he rubbed a piece of pumice stone into the shape of the moulding and used that, maybe that could be useful in the headstock scenario, mind you where you get pumice stone I haven't a clue

I use erasers a lot, but I love the flip-flop idea. Off to the dollar store! |

Back in my day they called them thongs rather than flip-flops. I suppose that is no longer "politically correct", however. |
