Wow, how in the world am I going to sand this curved piece of wood
0:10
I know. I'll use of glass. Well, wait a minute, that's not going to work
0:17
That's too smooth. Oh, yeah, this glass, it works a lot better
0:23
What is this? These are new sanding blocks that are made out of recycled glass
0:29
98% of the content of this is just basically regular old glass that you throw away in your recycling bins
0:35
Now how do they work? One of the neatest things I like about these new sanding blocks is the fact that they conform to the surface that you're sanding
0:43
So in trying to sand a curved surface like this, the more you sand, some of the glass wears away
0:49
and pretty soon before you know it, the shape of the sanding block is exactly the shape of what you're sanding
0:54
Now guess what? They come in different types, different sizes, and different
0:58
grits. In other words, if you have to do some coarse sanding, well then you'll use a coarse sanding block
1:04
If you want to get down to fine sanding, you'll use a fine one. And guess what? Best of all
1:08
they've got a really great one that does rusty metal. And it's got a coarse cutting surface
1:15
It even has colored, orange colored, to remind you that that particular sanding block is for sanding rusty metal
1:21
Now these things work a lot better than sandpaper, and I'll tell you why. Because sandpaper, when it goes over rough edges, sometimes it can tear. Sometimes it doesn't
1:28
conform well to the surface. So if you've got a weird object that you have to sand a
1:33
different shape, consider using these sanding blocks. If you want to discover more
