Made from beech and makaa. Much nicer to use than a scrap off the floor. They make sanding fun! OK, maybe not.

There is a standard bolt fixed into the base. A hole is drilled part way through from the bottom, epoxy the bolt in place and then plug the hole. I got the plans from a Wood Magazine book. They are sized to take a quarter sheet of sandpaper.

Those are really cute. Looks like they are easy to change when the paper gets worn out, too!!

I made a bunch of these from that same article and they have seen a lot of use.
I padded mine with some floor underlayment but think the unpadded version may be better as I seem to tear finer grit paper a lot.

I fixed some felt to one of them which seems OK so far but I haven’t used them much yet. I will build a couple more once I get hold of a couple of different wood types.

Nice job!
I’m building some of those soon too as soon as the workload slows down a bit.
Here's the plans (no worries; they’re free).

Nice looking design. Last time I made some they were “way” over engineered. I like the simple design of these. Went into my fav’s.

Looks good and they look comfortable to use because of the rounded edges. Like it. Well done!
