Efficently lazy ...

One of the few nice things a Brigade Commander once said about me.

I cut an open cross as part of a project, pic one, and while I am getting better at straight lines, it still needs sanding -sigh.

As I was falling asleep last night I was trying to imagine holding sand paper around a stick and sanding the inside  of the cross.  This morning I woke with an idea.

Dremel Roto Multi Max (pic 2) - handy thing it is.  I had a worn out narrow blade, some 77 spray glue and I stuck it on the back side of some 320 grit  sandpaper (pic 3).  I buy round sand paper in bulk, so it was easier to use that. 

 

Razor knife and it was cut out (pic 4.jpg).

And it works like a champ ! ! (pic 5)

The knife is on top to hold the cross so I could take a pic with one hand while holding the dremel in position.

Hope it helps someone who needs this kind of thing, with my luck I rediscovered the wheel and everyone else already has it done.

:-)
