Sanding Blocks

I'm always reaching for a sanding block. I like the idea of a flat hard wood block so I can keep what I am sanding flat and not round over corners so easily. I came across this video on Youtube and really liked the idea of using sanding belts. The sanding belts last a long time, they sand smooth and flat, and they take a lot of abuse. I built them according to the video except that I didn't shim the wedges. I cut several thicknesses of wedges until I settled on the right size so I didn't have to shim any of them. I ordered a variety of grits off Amazon. (3” X 21” belts) I love these sanding blocks.Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxvfIw84i-Y&t=1098sSanding Belts: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H1BK388/ref=ppxyodtbsearchasintitle?ie=UTF8&psc=1
