Handy Sandpaper
I like to keep my sandpaper handy and organized. Here is how I do it.
Handy Sandpaper
Here is how I keep my sandpaper handy. I attach it to 1/8" plywood
boards and hang it up.
When I am ready to use the sandpaper I take the board over to the
lathe and set it on the "ways" of the lathe.
Then all the grits are handy for quick changes.
I have one board for 2" disks and another board for 3"
disks. I recently added a third board for chunks of my Stikit sandpaper.
Label Your Tools
No Color Code
When someone saw the above photo they asked me. Do you have a “color code” for the bands on your tools. I often get this question.
No I don’t. Long ago I started off in that direction. But, I just did not have the necessary discipline. I quickly ran out of colors (different shades of the same color are not good enough) and things get fouled up when you reuse a handle that was on a scraper for a new gouge. Etc.
C-Line Sheet Protectors
I found a C-Line Sheet Protector at a local craft store that I really like.
It works good for protecting my reference papers while turning. The Neon Orange color makes it easy to find. It is made of tough clear plastic with a nice grommet that allows me to hang it up.
They are made by C-Line.com. Style #43912 Workshop Ticket Holder.
You can get them on Amazon. Around $4 each. Or 25 for $26. Search for C-Line 43912
