Finally a use for the cut-offs from my Paulk workbench, now to find something to do with the 49 other 6inch plywood discs........

Colin, thank you SO MUCH for this idea! Years ago I got some 3M HookIt II sandpaper. Guess what? No disc to put them on, since they were the rough side of velcro (needing the fuzzy size to stick), not the fuzzy side, like the regular HookIt. They've sat for what seems like forever, and now, with this video, (and using the fuzzy side of velcro instead of the loop side) I was able to make sanding discs (albeit handheld, but a holder, just the same) for both sizes of sanding discs! (My little one I think is my favorite, being the easiest to hold.) I was so happy with how it worked for the HookIt II that I made some for the regular HookIt discs as well. You're a gem! Thank You!

I made my disc sander yesterday.....it was one of those "why Didn't I think of that?" moments!! It's an excellent tool! Thanks!

Made one of these several years ago when a sanding pad from my random orbit sailed off the sander. Since the hook and loop was still in excellent condition I turned it into a sanding pad and it has been on my workbench ever since. These are very handy.

Super good idea, Colin. So much better than fooling with attaching sandpaper to a block. Thanks.

Nice sander ....good idea ...i would make my disk box with glued shelves instead of “floating ones....that way i would know at a quick glance if i am running out of a particular grit disk..

Excellent job Mr Knecht, I´ll gonna take your techniques, thank you for bring us your ideas...thumbs up !!

This is simple and excellent! I’m making one tomorrow.

When it comes to the workshop, there is always new ideas/projects that we do to make things easier for us. Nice project. Thanks for the video. Tim

The reconfiguration of the sanding pad holder looks like a lot less of a fuss to deal with! 👌 Nice simple velcro sanding pad build too, mate. 👍 Cheers.

Impressive! I'm going to make one this weekend..with a few changes. First I'll use my circle cutting jig on my bandsaw to cut the base of the sander. I already made a length of "handle stock" as I call it for a previous project so that will serve as the handle. And I'll attach it with dowels. I like the storage for the disks. Thank you for the inspiration!

To each its own..... I made the three peg holders and they work fine for me. I don't stack them though, rather they all fit flat in a drawer. I'll be making the sanding block for hand sanding. Thanx for all the ideas.

I just made one peg holder with two pegs. I store the different grits in the order of use, i.e. 100 on top 120 immediately below that, etc. I use the two pegs to align the paper to the disc sander and then slip the paper off the holder onto the sander

That is a great simple idea. I have a bunch of disks which don't fit my machine and so I might give that idea a try myself.

The tabs were a great idea. I just made mine like a book case with really narrow shelves. I’m very happy with how it turned out but I should have made it larger and with 2 big shelf’s on the bottom to store more sanding stuff.

Nice job Colin! Thank you for sharing it with us.👌👍😎JP

Thanks for sharing this, Colin. I'm going to build something similar. A suggestion: Maybe put the coarsest grits on the bottom of your caddy and work up so you don't pick up a stray oversize grit on your finer sandpaper. Picking up an undersized stray is not a problem, but an oversized one could be extremely annoying.

That's a great idea. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for sharing. But I'll have to make some adaptations. I've never seen in hook and loop/Velcro in sheets (only in 3 cm wide straps) but last year I bought a hook-and-loop sanding device which I can mount into my drill chuck or connect to my angle grinder (it came with a 14 mm threaded rod for that) Somehow it should be possible to make a handle for that and use it as a hand disc sander.

If you combine the two you could have a handy tool to align the pads with the holes when fitting pads to the sander.

How's she goin'? Great sanding block. I like the tip about finish sanding by hand so you can go with the grain. Thanks for sharing!!!

Very cool Colin! Your caddy has inspired me to slightly redesign my planned one for the bench. Everything is going to be the same, except: -I saw "A" need for the bottom of the box to be slightly angled up, 10 to 15 degrees, so everything "migrates" away from the front edge. - I "may possibly cut the back slightly higher, 1"-1.5", so I can incorporate a cut out carry handle. May not as there may be enough room there. I'll still build a portable index file type box to take out into the world for the discs. 1/4" ply pinned together will work. It's not going to carry 3/4 drive sockets!! Lolol!!! Great work!!

Hi Colin, thank you for a nice informative video. Maybe if you could, please, show how to round off both ends of the handle, instead of having them straight cut?

I know everyone uses the uses the hook and sand paper but I quit using those 20 years ago because they were always falling off. Have they improved that method since then or is it the same old stuff

If you made a square sanding block rather than around sanding block you would be able to get into the corners easier Kevin .

For corners the so-called delta sanders are ideal. The same way it should be possible to make a hand sanding block for delta sanding sheets.
