How to Make Mini Sanding Drums

Speed up the sanding of shaped projects with these homemade mini sanding drums made from dowel rods. Just cut the dowels to length, wrap them with adhesive-backed sandpaper and chuck them into your drill. Different diameters (1/4 in., 5/16 in., 3/8 in.) let you get into those frustrating tight spots.

And for larger projects, learn how to restore your sanding disk and sanding belt.
