Best quality sanding block I've seen... gonna have to make one. Tired of scraping my fingers and knuckles too. Nice little scap project indeed ! Thanks
Nice sanding block. The only change I would make is using a router table to make the notch for the front of the block. Not sure how many people have or use a router plane anymore. I would do this step while the block is a rectangular shape, before cutting the angled sides on the bandsaw.
Nice little project with useful results. Phil, you're the last remaining member of the Woogsmith shop. I've watched a long time and have seen many faces come and go. Stay safe. Bill
Can you make accurately the hole for the knobe after you have placed the screw nut? No. 1. Cut the hardwood in its shape 2. Temporary put it in its place with d.s. tape 3. Drill them together at 90 degrees with a small drill bit 4. Remove hardwood, make the proper hole and install the screw nut 5. Make the hole for the knob Also Before cuting the block sides at an angle, make the back kerf with a cutting jig for handsaws. Οtherwise it may be crooked.
Could have found the centre easier by using the square with the blade extending to about half the width and marking from each side. If he'd marked the hole in the hardboard first, it would be easier to match the hole. in the body. Easier to make the handle part out of say 1" thick stock. Also before gluing the body could have drilled right through and inserted a nut from the back instead of messing about with an insert.
two things to make it easier The handle you could have finished the inside and smoothed it before you glued it, Secondly that cut at the back for the sandpaper Clamp it in a vice with a wood block at the correct position and then cut against the wood block to give you a real clean cut
I have let some of my woodwork colleagues know about this site [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. I was especially awed in the wake of experiencing the outlines and plans that were incorporated into the bundle. This is the best item for any woodwork devotee and shed manufacturer out there.?
As an amateur with woodworker, I typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement. Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . I now work like a genius. That is great!?
You don't need anything as complicated as this to make a "self locking" sanding block. You just need to cut the edges of your block at a 15 degree angle. The narrow face goes at the top, the wider face goes down. Then wrap sandpapder round the block, and crease the paper on the 15 degree edges, take it off, fold along the creases and put it back on. The sandpaper will hold itself to the block! see alexanderguestguitars.com Videos page "The World's Best Sanding Block" for the full run-down.
The subjects covered in this woodworking website *TopFineWoodworking. Com* varies from wood types to tool types and uses. A few other subjects range from the various kinds of wood along with their distinct levels of difficulty when it comes to managing them. If you are still a beginner in wood working, then you will find this book very beneficial.
Sorry, that should be not be the case. We've been having technical difficulty with our website this weekend. I'll get that fixed and let you know when it's ready.
I checked... You shouldn't need any credit card info for free plans. I think it just asks for e-mail and address info to set up your account so you can log in and access your plans anytime.
Very nice. Who isn't a wood hoarder!
Yeah, I'm really trying to use up a lot of my scraps now that I can't just run out and get more supplies any time I want right now.
Excellent tool shape, very meticulously made for better performance and lesser chance of hurting yourself while using it
Just a thought, put the sandpaper groove in, on the bandsaw before you taper the sides. I’m going to make a couple of these they look very handy.
Great project for while we are stuck at home.
Absolutely! Might as well keep yourself busy with shop projects... plus it doesn't take much wood. :)
Great ideas for making this. Thank you for sharing!
You are welcome! 👍

Thanks for watching!
I like this project and I will be making one if not 2. Thanks Phil.
Great! Best of luck.
Beautifully designed and very practical. I will definitely make a few. Thanks once again for your inspiring ideas. Bobby from South Africa.
Good thing to spend some lock down time on.

Thanks, but technically, Chris appeared in Season 1 of the Woodsmith Shop, so he is a legacy as well. :)
@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine I didn't remember.
Choo Choo Eddie-Really great tip.
Thanks! 😀
Thanks for insert installation jig idea :)
You are welcome!

4. Remove hardwood, make the proper hole and install the screw nut
5. Make the hole for the knob
Also
Before cuting the block sides at an angle, make the back kerf with a cutting jig for handsaws. Οtherwise it may be crooked.
Appreciate the input - Thanks!

Very good, well done.
do you have a source for the knobs?
Very nice, thank you!
You're welcome!
Love it
Ideas increíbles y novedosas, interesante

Iv not seen anyone use a router plane since Roy Underhill.
I guess you don't watch Paul Sellers or James Wright (Wood by Wright), both on TH-cam.

I'm totally underwhelmed.
Darn! We were at least shooting for “whelmed”… well, we will do better next time I guess. 😔
You cannot get the plans without giving credit card info. VERY MISLEADING!

Just got it myself. Does not require a payment method. DOES require your address, not sure it should do that for a free download.
"Free Plans", seriously?! If you need plans to make this, I'm not sure you should be using power tools.
Awwww... woa, woa, woa *sad trombone*
Seriously though, it's not very complicated but dimensions are always helpful.
