How to Create the Perfect Tool for Contour Sanding

A Soft and Controlled Add-On

The pad of my random-orbital sander was a tad too firm for refining chair seats. It flattened out areas instead of creating the soft, subtle contours I was after. See my process below. This add-on also lets me unscrew the base and use it as a freehand sander to shape and sand legs, spindles and bowls I’m turning on the lathe. You can buy closed-cell foam at fabric stores or order it online from foamorder.com.

How to Add Foam to Your Sander

Step 1: Cut the Foam to Size

Outline your pad base onto the 3/8-in. thick closed-cell foam. Cut the foam with a utility knife or scissors.

Step 2: Attach the Foam to the Pad Base

Attach the closed-cell foam to the bottom of the extra pad base with contact cement. If your sander uses adhesive-backed sandpaper, the foam will stick directly to the bad, no adhesive necessary. If your sander uses hook-and-loop sandpaper, just glue the foam to the extra base with contact cement and then buy some adhesive-backed discs.

Milk Jug Hack: How to Make a Simple Scoop

Image
I’ve read many hints that advise the reader to cut off the tops of plastic milk jugs and use them for funnels. I’ve found that if you replace the cap after cutting the top off, you can use the milk jug for a scoop, too. It’s perfect for handling potting soil, fertilizer or pet food. The no-scratch plastic also makes the milk jug scoop ideal for bailing water out of your boat. — Ray Dean How to Make a Milk Jug Scoop For this scoop, we used an empty half-gallon milk jug and angled the cut so that the side opposite the handle is slightly longer, more like a scoop than a funnel. Draw your cut line on the milk jug. Use sharp scissors to cut on the line. Trim or sand off any rough or sharp edges on your milk jug scoop. As Ray notes above, this scoop can also be used as a funnel by simply removing the milk jug cap. In addition to this handy pet food scoop, check out more projects that’ll show your pet some love .

30 Things That Look Like A Vagina — But Aren’t!

Image
The amazing vagina. Really a genius work of engineering, a true workhorse. So much respect for the incredible Miss V. There is one thing though, I really can’t hold it in any longer! No –- I have been doing my pelvic floor exercises – it’s not that! It, well, and it may just be me but I really do think the vagina was standing outside the room when looks were being given out. Granted –- the vagina is a quite striking composition and one that is very distinct in its appearance. Quite the individual. Or is it?! Hmmmm… It seems the ole Vejayjay has cheap rip offs / imitations appearing around the world. Objects trying to ‘imitate’ this wondrous thing it would seem. Idol worshipping or simply just creepy stalker-ish wannabes? I’ll let you decide. I present to you – 30 Things That Look Like Vaginas – but aren’t!! Well okay – more like Vulvas but for effect today they are coming under the vagina umbrella. Sit back, do some squinting, head tilting if needed, but be warned. Once you see ...
