I don't know if this should be here in Tools, Research, etc., so please move it if there's a better spot.

In making the guitar bridges I use my spindle sander to sand the wings on each end of the bridge. But all I have are 80 and 100 grit sleeves so I was all set to order some finer grit sleeves when it crossed my mind that I should just make some. I didn't check to see if there are dozens of 'how-to' videos on this but rather decided to just use what I had on hand and go for it.

Here are the completed sleeves yet to be unwrapped -

 

And here's the full video on making these -

 

Enjoy!

Really Cool! Thanks for the video, too!

Great idea David. Very resourceful too. Thanks for sharing with us.

BTW...I think the video guy would perform better if you gave him donuts before the shoot.

Nice job, David. Great video, too.

Hope you make a video when you do the long one.

Good trick. I've got a Max spindle sander. My abrasives supplier will only sell sleeves 10 per size. This might be very useful when I need something odd.

Good idea, David, I am thinking that maybe that would work on sanding belts that break prematurely.

Be sure to let us know if you do one, Herb.  Video or photos would be good, too.
