Your Last Sanding Block - How to Make the Amazing No Snag Sanding Block

I designed the sanding block based on the full sheet sandpaper holder I made 2 years ago and you can watch that video here:
• Why Didn't I Think Of ...
I call this the No-Snag Sanding Block and after I 3d printed it I figured I should make it from wood as well. It holds the sandpaper securely and is compact and the ergonomic grip makes it more comfortable to use than a standard sanding block because it keeps you wrist straight.

Lovely organic handle shape. Nice job!

[@matthewrisley9070]

I felt like your hands were so close to that saw and router bit! I was getting worried haha

[@Gazman299]

I question a lot of the KZbinr woodworking practices too, but when it comes to this guy I just can't justify any criticism at all. He's like Jesus. He walks on wood. I bet that his wife is made of wood, and she's perfect :-) ( He should sell plans for her )

[@jgbcodemonkey]

Terrific stuff, John. Your home-made designs never fail to amaze me!

[@louisfkoorts5590]

A big thumbs up, John. Steadily you dish out the Good stuff. Thank you. 👏🏻

[@gregmize01]

This is awesome John!

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant, John! Fantastic work!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@ToolTimeToday]

love it! What a weekend workshop project for me to have a go at. Thank's John :)

[@FabricaBenedicta]

I love your well thought out designs. You even make sanding blocks works of art.

[@alejandromorris3604]

Great build as always J

[@marcbarash6045]

great job John

[@joerodriguez3338]

I really enjoy watching you take and ideal and make it. Thanks.

[@edrobinson1613]

Beautiful! Well worth the effort. Thanks.

[@mahmoudomara5421]

Thank you for sharing. Great video as usual!

[@boydstongrove]

Brilliant design, thank you!

[@54mgtf22]

Always awesome. Thanks John 👍

[@thesjyoungjr]

We sat with bated breath and then there it was at 2 minutes and 48 seconds😊

[@stevewalker7822]

Very well done, John

[@SYABi79]

Wonderfully made!

[@sapelesteve]

Great sanding block and interesting design John! 👍👍

[@patricktkeegan]

Anybody else look around themselves for what they dropped, confused as hell, at 2:22? 😂

[@wcline06]

Lol the hot swap drill bit

[@jimcooney9019]

SO COOL. Nice job!

[@karlosgrizz356]

Realmente muy creativo e innovador. Hace años lo veo desde Argentina, no dejo de sorprenderme.Un saludo desde el otro extremo de América. Gracias.

[@daifeichu]

That sanding block has some ingenious design to it. Very nice. I noticed you added that wood to the top of your mini table saw sled. To make it taller for higher cuts? Yesterday I made a new one but I added an extension to the right side that can slide in and out. This lets me cut longer pieces using the stop block. I'll post a pic on your Locals page to see what I mean.

[@JohnHeisz]

I accidentally cut the sled in two pieces! so rather than making a new one I repaired it with that splint on the top.

[@KipdoesStuff]

@@JohnHeisz Doh!

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@tjacksonwoodworker3726]

Awesome!

[@NickToland]

Really great work

[@craigsudman4556]

Thanks for the concession of making this tool in wood. I know you have your heart set in working with your new media of plastic, but for me there is just something about wood that says craftsmanship. This is a completely subjective observation on my part, kind of like asking why one prefers green over blue, or Spanish Classical Guitar to Heavy Metal. Great video John thumbs up.

[@markduggan3451]

Very impressive.

[@Stonepotwaffles]

That’s a neat sander!

[@RobinLewisMakes]

That’s awesome

[@TheOldBlackCrow]

That's really cool... I'll do the 3d print, mainly because I'm lazy. 😂

[@vince55sanders]

way mor elegant than 2 sided tape or spray adhesive like my poverty blocks

[@jimthesoundman8641]

Very nice.

[@roman_le]

Nice holder.

[@kuwaitish]

Well made video

[@gabrielvaldez6877]

Nice!

[@eikmethner3343]

Whenever the music kicks in, I'm getting a little sad, because I know that the video soon will be over. Viele Grüße Eik

[@rafezetter8003]

What I don't understand is how it doesn't just drop out? Are the the sides ever so slightly chamfered?

[@jorgejaramilloamaya9498]

Excelente.

[@solid_jr]

Too cool. I'm definitely going to print a couple of these. I always thought your creations in wood were pretty innovative but your 3D prints are a whole new level. I don't know where you find the time to learn the modelling software, I've been slowly learning over years, but I'm glad you do. Some great stuff John. Are most of your tool/jig prints in ABS? I might've missed where you mentioned it.

[@KipdoesStuff]

Most are ABS a few may be PETG. When in doubt use more infill, lol.

[@KipdoesStuff]

So simple a caveman could do it. Nice work John.

[@AquaPeet]

See, you don't need a giant woodworking project to 'entertain' :D I think the wooden version is very neat.

[@natehaack4999]

Is the lever just providing tension against the frame to hold it in place? Assuming the lever is just slightly proud of the handle base.

[@MFunkibut]

Is the outer base EXACTLY the same size as a quarter-sheet so you can use it as a cutting template? Might be worth seeing if such a modification is doable....Jus' thinkin out loud

[@SeanHoulihane]

I think I'll take the lazy option and 3D print one...

[@TheParkAttendant]

Were is the blade guard on that table saw?

[@jeffm4459]

How does the sanding block not fall through the front...Friction?

[@bryanbarrow2913]

😮😮😮

[@rbclima]

Nice, but the last sanding block was way simpler and more functional! I used it all the time

[@jimbucket2996]

But it doesn't do the sanding for you...

[@daveboatman4024]

I’m never through with sanding, I just reach a point and quit.

[@baconsoda]

Tidy job. B

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks Brendan :)
