Dan Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 They're an interesting looking item, I wonder how well they work? Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Prozora Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share 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.

Dan Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
