Here is as small bow sander idea..
Using a 1/2 x 3 pinewood scrap , a wood screw, and 1/2 wide emery cloth.
My hand drawn pattern.
Drawn out on the wood to cut out on the scroll saw.. i had to fancy this one up a bit with some cut outs.
drill the holes.
Off to the scroll saw to cut out the openings and shape.. I'll cut the sand paper holder last:
Before cutting the holder out i need to drill a hole for the mounting screw:
Here it is all cut out and ready to install the sanding cloth:
installing the sanding cloth you'll want to keep it on a flat surface and rap it a round holding it tight something like this image:
slide the holder mount up and tighten down the screw.
Well there you have it.. a mini hand held bow sander:
Plus you can use the outer flat sides to sand with as well.
