Elevated pad for sanding spoons
Raising your workpiece allows you to shape and sand tricky angles.
I’ve made a bunch of spoons and spatulas over the years. The most difficult and tiring part of the process is holding them securely for shaping and sanding. This elevated pad makes it easy to hold the spoon in various positions and allows better access for my shaping tools. It’s just a chunk of 4×4 lumber with a hole drilled in it for clamping to the bench and a cork pad glued to the top. Rubber also works. When the pad gets worn out, it’s easy to replace.
