Dan Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) http://www.rockler.com/sanding-twigs-20-pack I saw these and thought I'd share it with you guys. Many of you have probably seem or even used these. The price is reasonable. I usually just cut pieces of sandpaper but may give these a try.

rjR Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 I have made something like that for decades from the edges of the sander sheets after wearing out the sheet. I just wrapped around a piece of scrap wood. These sure look convenient! If they stand up decently they will be a good buy.. Quote
Rob Roy Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 They look as if they could be useful Dan. Might try them out if they become available in the UK. Good find Dan. Rob Roy. Quote
Multifasited Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Hobby lobby has some shaped like spikes ,looked good too ,maybe one day ,so many gadgets so little money ! Quote
thatknobtony Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 I have never seen them before Dan but then I have never really looked either. Now I will be on the hunt. Thanks for the tip. Quote
amazingkevin Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Wonder if they can be used in key-chain work.Price is right ! good find Dan Quote
Sparkey Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 They look like they could come in very handy. Not a bad price either. Thanks for sharing. Quote
Lucky2 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 They're an interesting looking item, I wonder how well they work? Len Quote
Fay Prozora Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 Looks like a great price for that product. I just bought some needle files and I'm itching to get in the shop and try them out. There are a half dozen different shapes and sizes that are so small and a dremel can't get into those tiny places so I'm hoping mine will work out well. Can't wait to try them out. I paid more than that price for a handle and the files but the handle will be easy for me because of the arthritis and such. Great find. Fay Quote
Dan Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Posted March 21, 2014 Well, I drove by Rockler the other day and stopped in and picked up the sanding twigs. I expected something a little different. These are about 1/8" thick so I will still have to cut and use sandpaper for the smaller kerfs. Oh, well, live and learn. Quote
heppnerguy Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 I made some sanders by gluing sand paper on little hobby sticks that look sort of like Popsicle sticks, only smaller. Steve good has a video on them. I also use 1/16 inch dowels or larger where needed and wrap a piece of sandpaper around it for fret sanding and that seems to work pretty well for me.. I like the idea of what you posted, Dan, Might try them anyway. cheep enough to give it a try. Dick heppnerguy Quote
