Thread: My redneck sanding setup

Some of us can't afford fancy belt sanders or purpose built workshops. So when I was pottering around in my workshop (the balcony outside my bedroom door) I stumbled upon a sanding setup. I was sanding the handle of a brush I'm working on and I was having trouble securing the sandpaper. So I came up with this idea of clamping one end of a strip of paper to the decorative bars on my balcony. It works kinda like a strop. You hold one end tight and rub what ever you want to sand along the strip. I'm not going to say its the best idea. The round brush handle I was working on isn't perfectly round any more. But it is a lot better than trying to hold the paper in my hand.
