    Rubber bands have to be one of the best clamps that are under used, and simply don’t think of it.
    Awesome tips as always.

      Rubber band clamps something every kid that built a model airplane used 50 years ago. Don't ask me how I know this . Also the dowel sander also works with scotch bright to polish holes made in metal pieces.

    • @censusgary
      @censusgary Před rokem +1

      Rubber bands are great clamps for a lot of purposes. And if you need a very large band, you can tie a loop in a length of rubber hose.

  • @helion6884
    @helion6884 Před rokem +7

    For stronger, more durable rubber bands you can cut up used inner tubes. They come in all different sizes and you can cut them radially to get rings at whatever width you need or cut them along the circumstance into long strips which are handy for clamping odd shapes.
    Make friends at a local bike shop and you can probably get an assortment of busted tubes for free or cheap

    Loved turning the dowel into a flap disk. Definitely a game changer for handsanding. As for sandpaper on painting stick, I apply sand paper on a reciprocating saw blade without the teeth and makes quick work out of sanding in between areas. Just don’t go full blast with saw.

    Mag switch great for steel bolts, for s/s bolts dab CA glue washer/nut together.
    Put masking tape on one side of spanner to stop nut falling through.
    Put masking tape on sanding stick before using double sided tape/ spray glue to stick sandpaper on makes replacement easier.

    9:16 You can also use old sanding sponges wrapped with sand paper. It works well on tight spaces & wonders on contours. Sand paper lasts much longer than the sand sponges & costs less, plus some styles have different angles which can also be beneficial.
