Sanding Jig

[micharms]

I haven't gotten into making pendants so I was trying to figure out something else I could use the pendant backer plate for. I've moved away from using a pen mill lately and didn't really have any way to set up a jig for my disk sander and don't have room to keep it out and set up anyway so this is what I came up with.

Seems to work great for the job and allows me multiple locations on the sanding disk.

Michael,
I love the idea. I am on vacation next week so I think I will have to give this a try. Thanks for posting.

Good luck, may the force be with you as you search for the stray bent bits. Look for stronger methods IMHO.

Have success. Peter.

Nothing gets bent since it is only a light touch of the blank to the disk. I'm really happy with the way it works. I have the punch set so I can go to a larger diameter rod for the larger kits.
