- The handles clamp the sandpaper in place when they close and release it when they open.
Two or three thin sheets of stiff plastic (like from a large soda bottle may work better than the thin sheet metal and be easier to get.

Finally, a project of yours that ended up how my projects do, loved the laugh too. I usually insert a few choice words instead of the laugh
Good job.....
How do you feel about some milk jug HDPE melted to shape?
Maybe you should make a second board with the marker screw, so you don't have to be screwing it and unscrewing it, you just swap the boards when you need it ..... (it's just one more contribution to your brilliant idea)
The concept of using the metal (or plastic) to grip the paper is a great idea. My first thought upon opening the video was "how does he keep the paper from loosening when closing the handles?" Then when you showed the sheet metal I was like "BINGO". I'm definitely going to attempt a version of this idea in my own shop.
This dude is one of the few real you tubers with 100% self made tools everywhere.
Yes
@@timhofstetter5654 what do you mean?
I loved hearing the reaction and the follow up to the sandpaper sliding out ..
Yes
That stop motion sequence at the start is enough to warrant a like (or 42)
Oh I recognise that mad laugh when the sand paper just comes out. I've done that more than once when I thought I'm basically done with the project only to find out some oversight or change early on meant I have more work to do.
Isn’t that the truth, we’ve all been there. It’s all in how you handle the setback. A good laugh is a good approach.
@@johncware66 Yeah, but most of us have tried the 'throwin' shit' approach at least once though :)
I am but a humble beginner woodworker however whenever I watch your videos I feel like I want to go back in my workshop and start building something. I bought several of your plans so far, and I thank you for making them so easy to follow. Thank you for the wonderful educational videos and have a good day!
@@timhofstetter5654 I'm sure his techniques are good for him, because he leveled up the become the master woodworker that he is now. I still have to use two push sticks.
The sheer number of tools that youve made for yourself is genuinely impressive
Yes a lot
ha ha...cracked me up when you put it to use for the first time and the paper just slipped right out. Love how you laughed at yourself when it happened! Great video, John!
Thanks Bruce :)
I use my grandfather’s block it is now over 100 years old. It just shows a good idea is never out of date!
I really like this!
Thanks :)
🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍
That's a very simple, effective and self momentum creating comment
I really like this too
The laugh (6:26) at the paper sticking to the wood was worth the price of entry! Good solution and project.
Haha yes and also his action of slamming the gadget and walking away, added the comedic value
Sanding my new sanding block with my old sanding block
Nice work👍
In "Hei'n'sz sight... Your gift of building, is amazing... Thank you
Here it is in action...damn it! Okay, here is how to fix that and make it work. 90% of the projects I do, no lie. Great video John.
Another great idea, John. I built 3 of your old, old sanding blocks a few years ago and they get used on every project i built. Keep up the good work!
😊👍
Every time I see the table saw you built I am in Awe ! Plus all the other shop tools you have made. I like backing sandpaper I will have to make one or two.
Mr. Heisz, I enjoyed your video and I appreciated your including your mistake about having to increase the thickness of the metal shims. I've bought plastic sanding handles, but this wood one probably has the weight and sturdiness that I need. Thank you, sir.
that's some confident table sawing
It's often the little tools that serve us the best and for a sanding block .... that's one hell of a great design! I freakin' love it :)
I like the simplicity of your designs and your versatile use of plywood very much John!
John I have followed you for years now.
I am very impressed with your ideas and results with wood.
Please keep on coming up with these wonderful ideas.
May God bless.
I like how you kept your fail sanding block in the video. Makes it more realistic and also knowing that even experienced woodworkers mess up too! Love the video and the idea.
Your ability to design and make tools and equipment is amazing.
It's amazing how even John's half inch 7 layer plywood makes every project look 100x better than mine. My HomeDepot only likes to stock the 3 layer 1/2" ply that feels as smooth as 100 grit sandpaper.
I love all your very clever designs and solutions.
For such a simple tool, there was a lot to design (and fix). Well done. I like the look of the two discs on top. It gives it a bit of a mid-century modern look to it.
Thanks Mark :)
Cool. Love making tools of all sorts. Best is that you can isaly customise the tools to you'r hand, hight and need.... good old craftmanship. 🛠
I love this idea! I need to make several of these. Thanks John.
Oh man, I chuckled with you when you made the first pass on the narrower one... Thanks for including that, the aluminum flashing instead of the steel was a great fix 👍
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , muchas gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón , Galicia ( España)
Great little project, and a clever video. Thanks John!
Hey John, I've enjoyed so much of your content for years now and I've never left a comment. Obviously love your content and approach to woodworking.
Thanks for sharing those tips, and the make!
Pretty cool! Always love seeing unique creations, especially when they are functional/utilitarian. Thanks for the design and inspiration!
Y3sss sir
Cool idea! Love the genuine "oh shit" laugh when the paper first came off haha. Thanks for sharing the trials and tribulations of making something like this with us and also how you went about fixing it. Makes for very relatable content. Thanks much!
genius idea!
Thanks David :)
Great little project John, as usual! I just finished making your mini crosscut sled and I absolutely love it. Thabks for the great content, hope you're doing well!

Awesome build! I enjoy the videos.

THANKS JOHN!
Wonderful stuff. Great narration.
Geez youmare talented. Very nice!
Very cool John. Awesomely simple design.
You never cease to amaze me John! Your mind is incredable to come up with such a creation! There is someone else I watch that just came out with a extremly simple design for making dowels. Just two jigsaw blades and one piece of wood. You maybe interested in- JSK-Koubou. Thank you for sharing your geious with us!
cool design , love it simplicity for loading paper , could see my self reaching for this off my tool wall ,lol
this kind of stuff is why I subbed . . .
nice job John
Loved this video!!
we all need to learn to do more and laugh always
Very good job
This reminds me that I still need to make John's sandpaper cutter.
Great project and idea.
Thanks. Another interesting design.
Nice work John. And congrats on 1M!
Amazing. As always.
As always good stuff John!
Great work. Great Video. Who cares about the failure? You found the solution. Thx👍
Fantastic, John! Amazing work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I cracked up when you used a store bought sanding block to make your home made sanding block.
Fantastic video as always!
pure beauty! thank you so so much! Though i make everything by hand, i will be able to make it. It's well thought. will not be perfect like yours though
Brilliant. Love it. Instant subscribe.
Good job 👍
Definite will build one(and buy your plans)
So simple but amazing
Muy buenos vídeos y muy buenos trabajos. Te felicito!!
a work of art
Awesome John! 👍
Amazing work
I like this idea!
Beautiful 👏
Really cool design, John~!!
Built your earlier version where the paper locks in a dove tail. This looks easier to use may give it a try.
Fun stuff thanks for the video.
If only I had some scraps in my shop...
LOL LOL
Very cool project!
Very nice!
neat design
Dam it Man, Your soo good, even Your videos are the best, keep on
Thumbs up and thanks for sharing.
your table is really cool
Really good ideas and good work
Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful sanding block. We featured this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Really nice John! Now I need a long flexible version....
very clever, sir!
Wow esta muy bien ejecutado
Thanks
John: The sander looks pretty cool, better than the wedge one you did years ago. I would like you to give a brief tour of your large tool box and show how you have organized the drawers. Thank You, David Adair
Very Nice John!
Very neat, sir.
Juat grab a block of wood, chuck the sand paper under and leave enough over the sides so you can add a rubber band around it. Work wonders.
Nice build by the way like your way of thinking👍
Nice try like how you work with any kind of wood 🪵 thanks 🙏
That same design might make for some nice cabinets handels plus you could have a sneaky lock hidden under the fold can’t see unless you open the flaps pritty cool stuff .
That's brilliant! Patent it!
