The Cordless Belt Sander
A number of situations will make you want to sand something quiely or without using electricity. This cordless belt sander was made from a scrap of 1 X 4 (3.5 inches actual width) for use with 3 X 21 inch sanding belts. It allows me to use very coarse belts for rough sanding and shaping. Or I can easily change it to a finer belt. You can also slide the belt over to one edge of the block for sanding an inside corner, like a nose handlle or a fin.

Here's some more sanding blocks. The Rockler hook and loop hand sanders look interesting...

Good idea with the block/ rough belt combo. Good timing too.

Re: The Cordless Belt Sander
I used a new belt and cut a pc. of wood to fit it. I used it to finish shape the nose area and burn off pencil marks on the deck. Worked great. I will use this when I want to remove some wood but not at the rate a belt sander does. Thanks for the tip.
