Sanding Blocks

Such a simple idea, yet it makes a world of difference in finishing. StewMac - feel free to copy this design, I've copied enough of yours!​

Sanding blocks are 1/8" neoprene foam (mousepad) glued over 1x2 & 1x3 scrap pine, with 1/4" roundovers ( makes 3/8" roundover with padding. ) Use waterproof contact cement. The large block is sized for 1/4 of a standard sheet of sandpaper, and will also take half of a 1/3 sheet piece. Small block works well for details, inside horns, etc. The neoprene grips the sandpaper exceedingly well, wet or dry, and has just the right amount of 'give' for very fine sanding.

I recently set up a new account on Bluehost to set up another website using my simple framework on WordPress. Simple is developing into something far more powerful than I originally intended.

This site is grafted onto an account that is over 10 years old now. After working with the new account a while, I began to see differences between the old and the new. Specifically, the new account was subject to server caching of php pages. This can be quite maddening for a developer, as your changes just don't show up, at least not until the cache gets stale and refreshes.
