This is epic. I remember looking at these years ago and they were just so expensive.. Then i was like hey I bet someone has made one! quick google search and here I am. Looks like I'll be heading off to walmart in the morning!
Fantastic idea. I had one of these for cleaning algae off of the rocks in my fish tanks that was sitting around doing nothing since i learned how to balance the tanks. Now it has a use again. Thank you.
Fabulous idea! I'm currently building a motorcycle model, (HONDA CBR 1100XX), and I've had hard time smoothing the top seam on the gas tank where it's actually concave and smaller than a dime. I've used a much fancier one for cleaning rocks, but it has the annoying feature of pausing for a second to remind you to switch quarters of your mouth... As cheap as the Dremel discs may be, it would probably be even cheaper to buy larger sheets, (and easier to trim down as well.)
Great use for repurposing an old toothbrush. Thanks for sharing. I wonder if it wouild work out cheaper to use orbital sanding discs rather than the small ones.
Just found this, and it's a great idea. I had just recently done so with a regular Oral-B toothbrush I was replacing because the bristles were worn but the brush still operated fine. The bristles wouldn't pull out without damaging it so I just cut them down sanded the end flat used a piece of double stick tape and cut a piece of sandpaper to fit, stuck it on there, and as the French say voila. It seemed to do a subtler job but that's okay when doing fine sanding.
Hey Rex - your channel is really informational and to the point. Thank you for making all these videos.. I am binge watching them. I've come back to this hobby again just like you.
Thank you my friend. So much has changed over the years. I'll be posting a new video today and then a new paint shaker I just got in. Many more videos to come. Thanks for watching 👍
Brilliant ! I m am going to try it on my acrylic paints to erase buildup on canvases. Would u again explain the # sanding disc and the disc I should order. Appreciate ur video!
@@barbatosrex9473 thanks a lot i will wait for it!. i am going to make one. But i don't know what kind of toothbrush to buy. There are ones that Vibrates only, others than do a full circle motion, and others that oscilate (halfspin clockwise and half counter) in your opinion... which is better?

Bristles can turn into lumps of grass with some green paint 😁
Excellent video, this will be very useful for getting into tight areas. The velcro attachment system looks great too. Thanks!

Ingenious!!!!!! Jet intakes don't seem so daunting now. Thank you for sharing!!!!!
You're welcome Buck

Just what I needed for driftwood projects. Love this! I can't wait for the end results. Awesome idea.
Thank you, good luck
Ingenious. Thank you so much for sharing! Gonna try and use this for my 3D prints. Bless you sir!

This is perfect for me. I use paper clay in items I create and hand sanding, even though it might be a small area, can be tiresome. Love this idea.
Thanks! Have an old power toothbrush in the workshop - can see a couple of uses for a mini sander :)
Very clever! I’ve modified one to use in lock-picking sports (inspired by The Lockpicking Lawyer). But never considered as a parts sander!
This is a great idea. Im going to do this to sand personalized pens I make. Thanks.
You're welcome Kathy 👍

Soon as I seen this video went in my bathroom and got the one they don't use and conformed it into what you just did thank you so much
Awesome, these work great, good luck.
There's no end to human ingenuity! Brilliant (shame about the focus though :() Many thanks, I plan to make one of those this afternoon!
I did it a couple of years ago with a double sided tape only. It works great.
got one that just vibrates but think i ll pick one that dose what the one you got
I have a question if you don't have velcro could you just put a piece of tape and then the sandpaper
Yes, two sided tape works well
@@barbatosrex9473 thank you
LMAO!!! The genius is in its simplicity. Friiggin brilliant.
What kind of velcro did you buy?
Cool idea!
Great dang idea
At cvs they have them for 10.79 and the second one is 40% off.
Ingenious !!!
Thank you 👍
Nice! I'm curious if there is any specific reason to chop down the sandpaper? Would the sandpaper fly off?
I just wanted to trim it to fit exactly. You can leave it larger.
Genius, I was about to buy a microlux micro sander for $60 I have a bag full of these in my garage xD
Awesome! Doing this right away!!
This could be good for removing layer lines on pla 3d Prints
For sure 👍
that's what I'm going to make one for, have you tired it?
Gee! I got all that. I think I'll need a brand new Toothbrush Though
Gonna do this in the morning 👌ty
have you tried using this to brush your teeth? probably good results.
WILL TRY THIS!
You can create a head for buff
How many inch is your sanding dis? I am trying to find in amazon
1 inch
Man I am really looking for a quicker way to remove nub marks and seams. I think I'm making a trip to wal-mart later
i have a doubt, i have a dremel, but i feel it's so strong that ruins a lot of the tiny pieces. is this a better option ?
Yes, it's much more subtle and easy going. I just got in a new mini sander I'll be testing very soon which looks to be great, stay tuned

Great concept.
I wonder if you could turn it into a micro polisher tool
Oh yeah, with the right material it should work
Exactly what I was thinking.
Cool little tip
You are Genius!
I did this about 10 years ago but found thst I didn't really use it that much.
Clever!
Great Idea. Thanks
You're welcome buddy 👍
That one place is always sold out 😢😢
Very loud, is that just because of the cheap toothbrush? Also has anyone told you that you sound like Nathan Fillion?
could be that it's a cheaper brush. Not as loud in person though. I get Robert Deniro a lot but not Nathan Fillion , whom of which I do like
A micro orbital sander 🤤
Love it
Thanks man
One is on its way from my otc humana store for free 😂😂😂😂
What a hummma see?
I sand my teeth as well now 😉
Instead of trying to teach people something you should take the time first and learn camera skills
