Learn how to make sanding blocks that advantage of the sharp grit and durability of belt sander belts for demanding sanding tasks. Using scraps and a simple wood wedge these blocks hold belts flat and firm to remove wood fast without compromising integrity of detailed edges and contours to produce a professional grade finished surface. Whether you make a batch of blocks or a single sander the time spent is an investment that pays you back every time it makes project completion better and faster.

Best concept for a sanding block that I've seen and certainly the nicest looking. I'm wondering how you might make them without the shop equipment/patience. I guess using a sheet material such as birch ply and then pinning/gluing a bullnose trim on each end. Straight cut the block 1 inch in and then wedge between this cut to tension?

@NextLevelCarpentry 3 года назад

Your simplified method sounds valid as long as your 'straight cut' includes an angle to conform to a single wedge. Otherwise it would require a pair of wedges in a gap with parallel sides... a little more fuss but certainly viable if restricted by limited access to shop equipment? Personally I think it would be simpler to just round-over your plywood ends by sanding rather than finding/making a bullnose trim to glue on. Bottom line is that your viewpoint that not all viewers are going to go all out for a sanding block is probably much more realistic than mine that thinks they will😉🤣 BTW you should have seen the hodgepodge I was using for sanding blocks of this type before making the set for this video 😏

@jimlad01 3 года назад

@@NextLevelCarpentry The pair of wedges thing occurred to me just after posting that message, of course - and that would be too fiddly, so the angle cut is definitely better. If you haven't got some bullnose hanging around (I usually have some in the scrap bin) then sanding for sure is easier. I guess the bullnose would just give you a quicker consistency and accuracy over multiple pieces which would reduce the variables of the fit and wedge calculations. I'm fascinated by the elegant problem solving that is often arrived at in woodwork and my first thoughts are how can it be simpler. Seeing so many over engineered sanding blocks beforehand made yours stand out. William NG has a nice design also that uses a wedge which is worth checking out. Thanks again.

@alexfrederick9019 2 года назад

Can quite literally make these with a basic handsaw, a sheet of 100 grit sandpaper and something true and flat to lay it over (thick piece of glass or tile, stone countertop maybe...anything to put the sandpaper over to plane out, true up edges and make things flat.) Most importantly, a calibrated eyeball, some 3/4 stock, 3x21" belt, and the inclination to make that happen.

I feel lucky too Erik... every 'new' viewer helps Next Level Carpentry grow which I really appreciate! Best, Matt

@carmencarrasco4714 Год назад

Before buying this sander I would use a rotary sander ru-vid.comUgkx3Pc2vLXfcgM5oIpF1iYcIWyFhHUC-G6v and didn't see the need for a belt sander. Boy was I wrong. this belt sander does the job quickly and gives a professional finish to the wood work.

@CredibleHulk10 3 года назад

I am continually humbled by your channel; your "tools" are better than my projects. 🤣 Thank you for what you do. 🙏

I'm 75 years old and retired. I also stumbled on your channel and I love it. I am a Master Plumber but very much an apprentice when it comes to wood. Love your channel, please keep it going.

@NextLevelCarpentry 4 года назад

Welcome Louis... glad you found Next Level Carpentry. You mention Master Plumber so you might find a bit of extra humor in this segment of this video where I mention 'my favorite plumber': ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BfA847xItcg.html I bet you two would have a great time talkin' if you ever had the chance!

Love the process on these BEST Blocks for Demanding Sanding™ 😊

@hasenpfeffer2975 5 лет назад

In woodworking and carpentry there are far many more hacks then true craftsman. It isnt til one watches a channel like yours that they figure out which category they are in. I find I have a lot to learn and I always do learn from your ideas, techniques and informative wit. Keep up the channel you have found your calling as a teacher. Thanks for all you do.

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

It's all about the 'hands on resume', isn't it? There's a lot of smoke and mirrors out there these days but your eye for 'the real deal' should be a real benefit for learning Mark... Best, Matt

I really like how you edit your posts. Some people show all the cuts, causing the post to be too long. This shows what you did for one piece and then you said you carried out the same actions with the remanding pieces.

@duece2kTwo 4 года назад

I feel like I’m the last person to a great party... your videos are awesome. Thanks to Covid I’ve had enough time to go deep on your videos over the last week and I appreciate everything you are sharing. I’ve incorporated several of your lessons into a current project I have taking shape in my garage I only wish I would have found you sooner. As a ‘weekend warrior’ I appreciate you not trying to condense your videos into 10minute overviews...in this case the details are what’s meaningful and I value them. Oh, and I’m taking tomorrow off to make sanding blocks. Keep on truckin’!

@NextLevelCarpentry 4 года назад

Thanks for watching and commenting here duece2kTwo, I'm glad you found NLC too! Better late than never? BTW I think you'll find a set of these sanding blocks an investment of time and effort that will pay dividends for decades to come! Best, Matt

@NextLevelCarpentry 2 года назад

Glad to hear it Jason... it's my goal to share what I've learned to help others who are eager to learn with their journey. Regarding age, I heard no truer words than these: 40 is the old age of youth... 50 is the youth of old age. What you learn now will be with you for a long time to come... Best, Matt

@SmallWorkshopGuy 6 лет назад

Dang, Matt - I am getting addicted to your videos - you are a great teacher - I don't think there is any way I can condense your education down to my 3 Minute Overview format. You have my respect!

@NextLevelCarpentry 6 лет назад

Thanks SWG, it's good to know you like what you found here. The respect is mutual: you can't imagine how hard I've tried to do a video in 3-minute overview format! I simply cannot do it, a fact that bewilders me... there's just something about the gap between quickly doing a task and trying to show how to do it quickly. I appreciate your comments and what you're accomplishing with your channel. Best, Matt

@michealfigueroa6325 4 года назад

Ah.a wedge...clever and the results are a set of handy tools

@DanielinLaTuna 3 года назад

I'm glad you say that adding the 3* angle to the hardwood-end of the block where the wedge rides was "silly," because you'd lost me there; I wasn't quite sure what you were doing, or why. By the way, you look like you're having a calm Zen-moment as you're applying the beeswax finish at the end of the video; nothing's quite as relaxing as bringing out the essence of the wood using a traditional finish. Thanks for all these interesting lessons.

@NextLevelCarpentry 3 года назад

I've never really put it that way but applying a beeswax finish or even gel polyurethane on beautiful wood at the end of a project truly is a zen-like experience... OOOHHHMMMMM.... OOOHHHMMMMM 😌😌

@NextLevelCarpentry 6 лет назад

You betcha, Gerald! BTW I noticed the date written on the old block shown as an example in this video... made that block as one of 3 back in 1996! Can you believe THAT?! 22 years ago and still going strong... I get the notion this batch will outlast me :-) Best, Matt

@SKWDMDYT 6 лет назад

Just a hobbyist, but your videos have opened up a whole new dimension of woodworking. Thanks for all the hard work. Wish you were in the Sprinter camper van conversion business. Your insight into creating structurally strong light weight durable cabinets in a space with no square, level or plumb surfaces would probably be revolutionary. RU-vid has some good ideas but many mostly amateurs.

@mdeamicis 3 года назад

What a coinkidik! Watching one of your other great instructionals, I gaspped at the sight of these sanding blocks. I actually browsed your channel hoping you would show us bow you did it. They have to be the best sanding blocks ever made.

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

I can't even remember who I 'stole' the idea from but it was a LONG time ago. I think I've improved and streamlined the blocks to the point I don't feel guilty for not giving credit where it's due though.😌 Best, Matt

@jasonrobinson9524 4 года назад

@foxglovemead 5 лет назад

Some of the simplest ideas are the best. I added a 120g sanding disk to an order to get delivery included and will be making a block very soon. Perfect for cleaning up the edge of plywood sheets before they rough up the fence on a table saw. I always appreciate the little tips you freely give out.

@cheewurz 6 лет назад

Matt...a lot of great Content...Tips & Tricks! I can see where every Shop should have a Set of those DSB's!

@NextLevelCarpentry 6 лет назад

DSB's... patent pending 😁 Thanks Cheewurz... I was using ones from my set just yesterday on a bunkbed build project with a good friend and commented to him I'm glad I did this video because it got me to make a whole matching set to replace the random/assorted collection I'd made over the years using all the 'new and improved' tips and tricks shown in the video. Belt sanding belt sandpaper is some very durable and aggressive stuff (as you know) so I love how fast and accurate they perform... Best, Matt

What an excellent take on the old sanding block. Great idea fella and a great video on how to make them too. I did smile when you started cutting the 3 degrees on the shims too.

@billeybop 6 лет назад

I like the fact you repurpose your scraps. Another great idea for the shop! Thanks

@NextLevelCarpentry 6 лет назад

Billey, sad truth is that those mesquite scraps have been sitting around for almost 10 years and I still hesitated to cut 'em up! The longer stuff sits around seems to elevate it's value far beyond reality, doesn't it? Thanks for the comment, you're most welcome! Matt

@markb4656 4 года назад

Thanks for posting this video Matt as I just made 6 of these sanding blocks this weekend. I put some Slip It on the 3 degree end of the long block and also put it all over the short wedge block and it was a big improvement on getting the wedge blocks in and out. As the sanding belts that I already had varied quite a bit in overall length, I made some extra wedge blocks in various widths to accommodate my sanding belt collection.

@NextLevelCarpentry 4 года назад

Way to adapt and improvise Mark... I like the way you compensate for variables to get things to work. Nice! Best, Matt

@chrisgriffith1573 4 года назад

Jigs and sleds apply to disk and belt sanders, too. You of all people (being one that loathes sanding) should also invest into a good belt and disk sander. I know you will find them very useful as you are one who makes all manner of jigs and sleds for production work on the table saw, and so it is for a disk sander or a belt sander. Good sanding blocks, I'm going to make a few! Thanks!

@liferetriever4188 6 лет назад

I made one like yours years ago. I have not discovered RU-vid at that time and did not see one before. Made that out of necessity. Except I hand sanded the wood to fit snuggly inside the belt. Lost a bit of finger nail when fitting that in. The wedge idea made very good sense. Thank you for sharing.

@CqCasting 2 года назад

Thank you for all the tips and tricks. I'm learning a lot from you and other RU-vidrs I have to make do with what materials I find available and in the process of following and doing what is presented really is making things easier and better. I made 3 sanding blocks using MDF scraps and found them to work great. one block turned out loose and I was able to tighten it up using painters tape wrapped around the dowel for adjustment.

@pathdoc60 5 лет назад

I've been watching your videos whenever I have gotten a few spare minutes since finding your channel 2 days ago, and yet again you have shown a fantastic idea, simple to make and recycling scrap/no cost. Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail on a simple tool that is mostly covered; I bet the work you produce for customers is museum quality. I will be making sets of these blocks for both sizes of belts I have. I may route a 1/4 and 1/2 radius on one end to fit various moldings

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

I hope the video gives you all the info you need to make some of these blocks Francis... I find myself using them often and an thankful, as I bet you will be, to have the available once they're made. Best, Matt

Great video and great idea thanks, I kind of had the same idea but I was pulling the belt sand paper tight then running staples in it, your idea is so much better, thanks again

@NextLevelCarpentry 5 лет назад

I think you'll really like the wedges over staples Tarin! Something I notice as weather, temperature and humidity change is that they all affect belt length. With the wedge I can adjust it at will to keep it tight and working right! Best, Matt

Hi, loving your channel. So much wisdom in the way you work through the process. I haven't done shop since high school, and I've been meaning to set a shop up for a long time. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks Jimbo... hope the inspiration translates into motivation to put a shop together. Remember: the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is TODAY! 😁😎 Best, Matt
