How to Make a Sandpaper Organizer | I Like To Make Stuff

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

My favorite part of this is realizing that after years of making stuff, Bob is still just now getting around to organizing basic materials, makes me feel better about the state of my shop :D

[@tripwire76]

I once took a sanding class. The coarse was rough but my grade was fine.

[@soundboy89]

omg

[@sternentigerkatze]

XD

[@mathewcox9371]

That class sounds grit-ty

[@xlcarbon3961]

I’m done.

[@DavidG8706]

Dad? Is that you?

[@christofix]

Man that intro is so cool! My favorit part of this sandpaper organizer is how easy you can cut it by length

[@danpeikes]

Agreed, loved that camera trick in the intro

[@christofix]

@@danpeikes I try to do something simular in my videos but this was really good. I could learn from this.

[@biomcanx1]

I always just used a mounted hacksaw blade to tear the paper. I like the cutter idea.

[@coldud7045]

7:33 I love how Josh is walking in the background with that face

[@TurkiAU]

One box to keep them all !! "Lord of the Grits" :)

[@MegaDeath458]

I learned that however you think your shop is well organized... It's never enough. Amazing!

[@RaiderGraf]

Super cool Bob! I know shop projects aren’t really your favorite but I feel I get more inspired to upgrade my shop with these videos than say a giant Optimus Prime gun(that was still a fun video to watch)

[@DrivewayWorkshop]

Thanks Bob, very well thought out. I know you do the channel thing to feed the family, but also for your passion to teach, and we all benefit for it. Thanks.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks Jim! I really appreciate that!

[@wlbn6954]

Hey Bob, I LOVE your channel! You are my first goto for ideas! Never stop my friend!

[@marcosrodriguez8359]

Very nice intro Bob! Got super excited when I got the notification that you uploaded.

[@konrad7609]

ha ha ^^ me too

[@BuildDadBuild]

I must have this in my life. That's it...I'm stealing it. LOL Nice work!

[@danielrisueno8003]

I got amazed mainly by two things: -The alternate glueing whith wood glue and dots of CA glue -the 3d printed cutting device. So smart!

[@heitormarcolino2193]

don't know why.... but watching your videos I feel really better. Thanks!

[@JacobRumsey]

I’m excited to make this! I like winging it on shop stuff, particularly organization, but that is a spectacular design! Also, if anyone is interested in using a 3-d printer, a lot of public libraries have them available to members. They need to be reserved, but they’re available in most cities.

[@vinnyvidivici]

7:35 - Reminds me of that scene in Signs when the alien walks across that alley.

[@Mr.pink84]

Dood, that’s exactly what I was thinking!!! I was going to post a comment about it but you beat me to the punch!! Haha 😂

[@TDepatie]

Love that first transition

[@DawnMontgomeryAuthor]

That intro was epic! I LOVE IT! Thank you for the plans!

[@molearnsmaking4938]

Love that way of storing the disks! I stacked mine up, but you get so many more in the same amount of space with that design. Nice job, Bob!

[@dijohnson7]

I love your Sandpaper Holder Integrated Transporter! 😁

[@maxhallowell]

Iv been needing to make this for a long time, and now I dont have to think about it. Fantastic design im totally making this for my shop. Thank you and am going to look for the plans on your site

[@samuelkenkel6190]

what we had in shop class at highschool was a hacksaw blade mounted to a board that worked well for cutting straight lines in your sandpaper and rarely dulled. it also had lines and a stop for when you were cutting for certain sizes depending on what you needed the paper for

[@rachelpang310]

A good name would be sandpaper central! It’s snappy and has alliteration

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Bob!!! 😃

[@alberswoodworks8347]

Awesome build and intro!! The addition of sandpaper cutter with the 3-D printed parts is a really cool feature!

[@JoshMakesStuff]

Agreed

[@rjc1579]

Shop projects are the best!

[@bougie86]

For the cutter I use a hexa blade and screw it flat to the board. Cutting sandpaper with shape blade won't last long since the blade will be sand down apparently :)

[@yosefpovolotski6489]

Bob really really thank you!! you gave me the courage to start and build stuff!!waiting for other new videos

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

That is by far the best sandpaper organizer I’ve ever seen! Extremely well thought out and executed even better!

[@peyuko5960]

The intro was so seemless I didn't notice it until after the video, reading the comments! Nice work guys! PS. seeing the sanding blocks grind against each other makes me medley uncomfortable, but awesome idea!

[@shelliwade3883]

I love it. Just now getting the hubby to let me have my shop and all of your builds are awesome. Thanks for all the ideas and tips/tricks.

[@bridgettedraper185]

I was just talking about needing a system to organize my sand paper! Might have to give this a shot!!

[@AtrumNoxProductions]

I love the new intros you have been doing! They are amazing!

[@ernavill3261]

Was thinking it would be quite funny if he had also switched shirts or something else... For the Eagle eyed viewers among us :P

[@CraigusMaximus73]

Nice job bob. A S.H.O.D.T should be a part of every workshop. It’s on my list.

[@jbmorrow5390]

My suggestion would be to add a vertical groove in the bottom of the side sanding block covers so you could see how many are left. Neat project - well contained.

[@rsev1319]

Thanks for the great idea. I will definetly build something like this. Greatings from Germany Tim

[@crystalsoulslayer]

Okay, that intro edit was crisp. Me gusta. The organizer looks like it'd work really well, too, very tidy and easy to see what you have.

[@houstonsam6163]

Many thanks for the idea on storing RO discs upright stacked left to right with labelled separators, with sheets stored flat underneath. I'm sorting out concepts for various grits and shapes of sandpaper and this was exactly the concept I needed to save space. Such a simple idea but it never would have occurred to me.

[@cassjacob8246]

Great build as always! Using a sacrificial piece attached to your fence will allow you to cut rabbets against it. Keep up the great work!

[@User-od8dz]

The intros keep getting better and better!

[@RalphNava]

Intros keep getting better and better!!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nice organizer Bob! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@brianhartfield8385]

Great idea.! Will probably make a few of the lower slots removable to configure some additional sheet sizes. Really like that it has a spot for the sanding sponges. And most definitely love Josh photo-bombing you in the background - "nothing to see here; moving along."

[@123Oussama123]

Best (first) S.H.O.D.T ever . Great Work Bob !!

[@dmm8658]

To cut the edge rabbet, you can tape a piece of sacrificial timber to your fence with some carpet tape and raise the dado blades until they're just touching the side of the sacrificial piece.

[@jonathanolson4553]

I like it! If I give it a go, the one thing I'm going to add is a sight window in the sanding block shoot. That way I know how many I have left when I decide to start purging old blocks.

[@Photokapi]

I like your cutter idea, I've also seen it done with a hacksaw blade mounted just barely off of the surface because it won't dull as quickly and you can just tear it like a piece of wax paper.

[@paulmurray938]

If you start to go through the circular blades...you could make a small slot in wood for a razor blade guide? This way there is no special blade needed...just the Maker Knife that is in everyone's pocket :) Always enjoy the videos Bob!

[@dooden01]

that initial sandpaper editiing trick was a lot more complex than i initially thought, looks actually really convincing at full speed, nice one bob

[@FigmentsMade]

Maybe this will get me to finally organize my sandpaper. Action Man!

[@wordjumper2713]

Great Job Bob ! I like your projects .

[@motzemog]

The 3D printed cutting attachment... worth the price of admission!

[@johnhoffpauir4961]

This would be great in my wood shop class.

[@JoshMakesStuff]

I'd give you an A if you made something for the class to make future classes better.

[@johnhoffpauir4961]

The P.I. Workshop This past year the class made tool boxes for the 7th and 8th grade science teacher to put markers, glue, and color pencils in. They also made 2 comp book shelf's for a math teacher. I have the students make thing for other people first then something small for themselves.

[@davethepak]

great video, excellent design and production quality. I find it humorous on the cutter - while clever and fun, it is a lot of effort to not have a pair of scissors. thanks for the video.

[@parzdiver]

Good design, straight forward build.

[@kaixin9283]

Love how the intro is getting cooler and cooler

[@JkCanvas]

great little project. I need to work on some shop organization.

[@Yusufmasron]

As usual, cool project Bob. I like the idea of the loose discs dividers rather than fixed ones. That solve the problem of how big a gap should be left for those frequently 180-220 grit used ones and how little for the less frequently used ones. Simple solution to that problem. And of course all other storages incorporated in one. Thanks for the video Bob.

[@rowanferguson]

Nice simple build people could apply to all kinds of things. Cheers.

[@budrosrevenge7577]

This is so neat! I’ll try to make something like this for my dad’s office for Father’s Day.

[@budrosrevenge7577]

Minus the dados

[@zachshott7833]

Finally, I found someone making something out of MDF I get it's not the greatest material, but I have about 12 full sheets taking up space in my garage that I need to find uses for

[@daso34]

I really like the nod to my euro-brethren and I about the dado! I often have difficulties with differences in tooling etc around the world. Keep up the good work guys!!

[@lachy1709]

Hey bob, I find that cutting sandpaper from the backing, then even ripping the last bit through the grit, helps with prolonging the blade life when cutting sandpaper. I’ve also used a relatively blunt knife in that way to cut sandpaper Never mind you cut it from the back anyway

[@alanr745]

Yet again, I begin watching this video with the thought, “Let’s see how Bob built this.” And now at the end of the video, I’m thinking, “I should build that. It would be very useful in my shop.” Well done Bob. Your inventiveness and skills and brainwashed me again. Hahaha

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Fantastic Idea :)

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

That is an awesome addition to any shop! There is a similar version on Pinterest for dispensing tape. They used hardboard for the sides and what looks to be a piece of 1"x2" pine in the front and back. The rolls of various tape roll are in individual dispensers put are hung together. You can see the 1/4 of each roll and using a hack saw blade cut up into pieces and then screwed to the front of each one. I think they used one or two washers against the pine, then the saw blade section and then screwed on. It is nice if you only want to use double-sided tape, you remove just that roll and the rest stay on the wall or cart.

[@jeremymenning56]

I just use an expanding folio folder. It's perfect and the tabs are great for labeling.

[@mikecurtin9831]

Thanks much for this tip.

[@gastondelhades1]

That was a big improvement!!

[@theRCNEO]

Your opening is amazing!!

[@squirlboy250]

I learned that if i fall asleep for a couple hrs that when i wake up your videos are still playing. c;

[@danharold3087]

I have a folio that I keep the sheets I use for metal polishing. From 220 to 2000 in paper and cloth. I take the folio to the work and put each grit back as I finish with it. It saves a lot of steps and time.

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Great design!

[@lucascardenas8379]

Glad to finally start seeing the transition to sandpaper asmr

[@williamreed1512]

To cut sandpaper I screw a hacksaw blade to an edge, and a piece of wood as a stop that will make the size sheet i want by simply holding the paper, and pulling it over the blade to cut it.

[@jlarts]

I did ask at Makers Central about the reason why Dado stacks couldn't be used in Europe and apparently it's just that table saws sold here don't have a big enough opening and support rod for the blade to accommodate the whole width of a dado stack. I'm not sure whether this comes out of a specific legislation but in itself it makes sense. I certainly couldn't fit one on my table saw for sure. I could do with organising my sand paper too, it's heaped up in a corner of the shop just now, not the most practical thing to have...

[@zeno2712]

Thanks, J-L Arts. It seems off if they are not allowed on safety grounds - we have things like chain saws after all...

[@jlarts]

@@zeno2712 yeah I first heard the rumour that they were "banned" here in a Steve Ramsay video but he didn't know whether this was true or not so I asked the guys at the woodworkers association at MC

[@starboy71]

I want to get more sandpaper just to make this! Great action man!

[@dominiklukacs7677]

That intro was AWESOME!!

[@joshuajones1891]

O, sweet! I'm totally building one of these for my shop. Love it! 👍

[@hamilton_24]

Nice job Bob!

[@reginalawson8008]

Holy Cow- cool and easy to use. Love the cutter idea, super nice. Keep-em coming. Thanks for sharing! :)

[@hmsiegel79]

Funny enough, something like this was already on my list for this weekend. Great video. Great ideas. I think I may make this one.

[@aarontandy5890]

Something to try next time you’d like to do a dado (or however it’s spelled) on the edge of a part is to clamp a block of scrap wood to your guard so that you can ally up the blade right next to it. Possibly even have it touch it slightly to get a better line.

[@davethepak]

Thanks for the video - the content and production quality were top notch. The use of the super glue is fascinating. I am guessing it is to give some immediate hold while the main glue dries.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Yup, it's a handy way to be able to keep working 👍🏼

[@drhender6943]

How to build a sandpaper caddy... without any sanding! Well played.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Very Cool sandpaper Organizer !!!!! I need to make one of thesis for my shop. Thanks for the knowledge Sir

[@hazorozsparks7758]

It’s so cool how you are so talented and can make amazing things. I wish I could have that talent.

[@WoodworkingCraftsman]

like , great ideas. thank for share!!!

[@mafikalam1]

I tell you what ! this is a great work continue like this and you are a very smart person.

[@SafetyThirdProps]

Really nice organizer! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@snipexd4964]

Awesome project! I use mostly blocks of different shapes and sizes for my everyday uses. I usually cut my full sheets into 4 small squares for ready to use pieces! Totally going to adapt a project like this just also including storage for smaller pieces.

[@LesTutosdUneMinute]

Love it! Can't wait to have a workshop like yours.

[@dudemcduder230]

that cutter would be great for adding to the end of the bench for when you roll out brown paper to cover your work space.

[@rickmunn7356]

I really like your idea. I haven’t used sanding blocks but if I build it I’ll have to get some lol. Thanks

[@jonathanhernandez90]

Nice!! Probably going to make one for the maker space I work at.

[@kosherbacon8087]

If you want a cutter and you don't have a 3D printer you can use a Hacksaw blade as a sheet paper cutter. Just mount the Hacksaw blade off the board with a couple of washers and then it works just like a plastic wrap or tin foil cutter.

[@MakotoKamui]

Yet another item I was literally just thinking about making the other day to make my shop life easier.. coincidences are fun! Keep up the great work :D

[@matthewjhicks123]

4:01 : Bob gets tired of comments saying to change the band saw blade. Bob says no, and buys another bandsaw for a different blade! 😂😂😂 loving the video so far! Had to pause to make this comment

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Maybe :)

[@Dregon8479]

I love this channel it gives me ideas to do this for myself

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

This was such an AWESOME project. I need this in my life!!! Thanks gang!

[@banata21]

Storing sandpaper is the bain of my existence!!!
