For people struggling, a schramm sanding disk works. It's a rotating disk that fits in your drill press. Schematics can be found on line and find a metal worker to put one together. Discovered this on the schramm website

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. I would rather hand plane than use a thickness planer machine or drum sander, so I was looking for ways to hold down the workpiece. Thanks.

Masking tape and super glue (luthiers trick) works well but its difficult to peel off without snapping thin pieces. Your method looks good and I will try it. Thanks you.

I have never heard of that trick, homemade double stick tape? I really like the toothpick method, it gives a firm hold, full plate access and you can pick up the plate and replace it many times for measuring without a lot of fuss.

@@QueenCityGuitars I got it from Ben Crowe at Crimson guitars. Masking tape on each surface and then super glue them together. Very strong and easy clean up. The only issue is that the 2 surfaces can be difficult to peel apart. So I believe your method would be excellent for thin materials.

Twist the pieces sideways instead of trying to just peel up. Also a drywall/putty knife works great to slide under the work piece.

@@QueenCityGuitars masking tape trick is where its at for so many things. I prefer green frog tape, Med/thick CA(just a small dot on one side and spray activator on the other and apply pressure for 5 secs and done. For plate thicknessing though, I'm gonna try this toothpick magic, awesome idea!!!! working figured and very hard woods can be annoying with tape trick sometimes.(keep coming off etc)

Can you do a video on thicknessing really hard boards such as curly maple by hand?

I am actually going to be thicknessing an Indian rosewood back here shortly. I will see if I can get something about that recorded when I do it. Thanks for your suggestion!

Well Rickey, I am a man on mystery. I'd say take it or leave it, but sounds like you already sorted that out. Happy building!

Hey, I'd like to help ya out! I know whats its like to get started and have no tools or money. I have a couple tools I'd be willing to donate to a fellow (aspiring) Luthier/woodworker. Shoot me a DM on Instagram (see below) and well go from there :) ~Beauty & Peace~ Kyle @thewabisabicollective
