🪑 Optimized Woodworking Furniture Restoration for Automotive Use Review

I really need this type of tool. I like the size and the fact that I can quickly change the sandpaper. The downside is that the surface is not flat. The plastic shrinks in the mold, making the surface convex. I added several coats of blue masking tape to the tapered stripes to smooth them out. The strips provided are too short to hold up well in a weak clamp. I ground the end of the plastic blade 1/8" which did the trick.

This product was purchased to help build Baby Scout projects (Space Derby, Pinewood Derby). I needed something safe for my kids to work on their projects with. This idea is great because it's safer than the powered options, easy to use, economical (due to the ability to use strips of cut sandpaper), and flexible (again, multiple grit levels can be used at different stages). Unfortunately, in real life, this species fails. The sandpaper does not hold well when force is applied.

Decorative metalworking includes many tasks that are done with files, from roughing to finishing to the workpiece. Steel files in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and cuts were part of the standard tool set from the beginning apprentice to the master. There's nothing like having the right file for the job. But the best files are expensive. (Not the same, but ask your barber how much they paid for the scissors.) Good sets of files cost more. This tool certainly isn't a replacement for such gems…
