Papa Posted July 2, 2023 #1 Posted July 2, 2023 I found this little sanding block at Walmart. It is great for sanding the frames on my Jolle. John Ruy, mtaylor, bruce d and 8 others 9 2 Quote
Daniel Kimmer Posted July 31, 2023 #2 Posted July 31, 2023 how does the sandpaper attach? Is it peel and stick or Velcro backed? I need a good sanding tool for sanding the frames. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote
Jaager Posted July 31, 2023 #3 Posted July 31, 2023 If you have a scroll saw, a bandsaw, or a hand frat saw, and a disk sander a near infinite variety of sanding block shapes and sizes can be freed from a cork yoga block. They are sorta large and cost ~$20. The sanding media can be attached using rubber cement or even with staples. wefalck, michael mott, Roger Pellett and 4 others 7 Quote NRG member 50 years Current: NMS HMS Ajax 1767 - 74-gun 3rd rate - 1:192 POF exploration - works but too intense -no margin for error HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - POF Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - POF Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

popeye2sea Posted August 1, 2023 #4 Posted August 1, 2023 Many years ago I picked up a child's wooden jigsaw puzzle at a craft store. The multiple shapes and angles come in very handy as a sanding block. Regards, Henry RichardG, consitution, jpalmer1970 and 5 others 7 1 Quote Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler !

Capt. Kelso Posted August 10, 2023 #7 Posted August 10, 2023 Bought one earlier this week at Walmart, less than $6 with tax. I like it, sandpaper attaches via "hook & loop" similar to Velcro. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote
