A lot of people have asked what the stuff he used is. The first layer is PARCHMENT PAPER or WAX / BUTCHERS PAPER. It's used for food prep / storage. It's just a waxed paper that epoxy doesn't stick too, so it doesn't get glued to the wooden dowel. After he puts wax paper, he wraps a layer of card stock. Think construction paper or thick paper used for craft projects, another user said 300 weight. Then strips of sandpaper. He epoxies the craft paper as a backer for the sandpaper (looks to be a cloth backed sanding belt for like bench belt sanders).
It's no trick, it's how the actually make these. Difference is, they make them on huge mandrills thus reducing the cost immensely so they can then sucker you out of your hard earned dollars by overpricing them to the max. Dremel's junk is prolly less than a dollar per foot of these.
No problem man. I really get inspired by the way you think outside of the box. I like to think that I'm like that, but I obviously need to work on it after seeing your vids. Thanks again =]
you can also make cutting disks from large ones and your own polishing disks from cloth, they're very easy to make, the specialty tools are very expensive but you can make them almost for free
nice 1 mate. brought myself a spindle sander the other week but the damn thing didn't come with the sanding sleeves. just spent 50 bucks for about 10. ill try this before i blow more money on sleeves again, cheers
This is great, thank you! MCO, It was mentioned this was done after making up some Micarta, so my guess is the material under the abrasive belt is canvas. That is what the backing on many abrasive belts/drums use, both for the tear resistance and the traction against the drive.
Great Job, its always good to find people thinking outside the box, this drums are expensive, have you thought on how to build the ones that have a lot of sanding strips around an inch circle?, thanks
Making miniature sandpaper is fantastic. It's wonderful. But I have a question. There was a pipe before the sandpaper was washed. What is the name of the material?
Thank you for ur explianed. But what kind of glue or aboxiy using with' red strong paper' thats is very important. And what diameter size of Stick stamp? Redardes my friend
Brilliant! I've always just superglued a small strip of w/e grit sandpaper I wanted to use around a worn out drum. Couple questions if ya don't mind.. What was the diameter of the rod you used? Also, was that contruction paper you used for the lining? Thanks for sharing :)
Geko on Crete Very cool, thanks :) And like John asked, is it pretty much the same thickness as constuction paper? I'm not sure what A3 is... but "constuction paper" (as it's called in the states at least) is just a bit thicker (than printer paper) craft paper that comes in various colors. Maybe it's not that big of a deal though. :) Thanks again
A watched a video of someone else making drums by gluing the sandpaper to a dowel, and I thought this paper wrapping method might be better. Isn't some epoxy glue heat sensitive though? Those sanding drums can really heat up in use.
I see but still.hpw first looked like parchment paper then.the red.was one sandpaper but WHY wasn't the red paper covered with the resin.then the blue was the different grit right could you email.me the idea is it cost effective
Thanx Dogs! Guess it would have nice for Geko to tell it all about the process... but was more interested in breaking our ears out with dumb endless music.. huh!
I tried to glue the sandpaper to a thin cardboard paper, but it does not seem to stick very well. When I turn on the dremel, the sandpaper separates from the cardboard. What type of epoxy are you using? Your base paper is it rubberized?
+Gleison Storto hi, its ordenary cardboard that i use. the epoxy is a thin and slow drying 2 component one. are you sure that your cardboard was soacked good with the epoxy? and that you let it dry long enough? cheers, geko
anybody know what diameter rod was used? Was it just a certain size of rebar? I need to sand some beveled edges on some kitchen cabinets. Thanks! David
+Hardik Gandhi whit epoxy to make micarta you can use all papers i even recmend you to use cloth that absorve more epoxy sersh for micarta so you can se how this stuff worck
make it easy on your self.. glue the sand paper directly to wooden rod.. cut up the rods to wished lengths, drill a small hole through the cylinder and done..

Thanks for sharing (for free👍)
This'll teach them "get rich quick" companies a good lesson😊
Thanks a lot! I stay in India. In this tropical country my stock of sanding bands become un-attached. I now know which adhesive to use.
Great video. I'm amazed by your ingenuity. Thanks!
+mohammed nabi
thanks buddy. =)
The red stuff is craft paper/card around 300gsm bought in A3 sheets
Good stuff and excellent instructional video. Kudos.
cheers, buddy!
ive got the exact same dremel and ive used it so much that it vibrates itself to infinity and beyond when i turn it on high
So much yes. Now to make one which will sand large areas.
Thanks for sharing :) Very well done.
thank you for watching it. =)
It takes two, I suppose. 😉😁
I agree with Lsubslimed - that is a brilliant trick. Well done.
thank you for your comment.

this is the best method because it's very efficient in making many drums
Hi, thats a sweet idea! Still valid in 2016 .. thanks for putting it out there and best for the new year! I'm going to make some ..
+Phnug

Dude.... Im pretty hard to impress, but that is just amazing.

You sir, are a genius. I can't believe how much those little sanding drums cost...I never considered making them...

you can also make cutting disks from large ones and your own polishing disks from cloth, they're very easy to make, the specialty tools are very expensive but you can make them almost for free
That my friend was AWESOME!!!!
Really impressive!
Do you have full step by step instruction? I wonder the materials you use in this vid :)
nice 1 mate. brought myself a spindle sander the other week but the damn thing didn't come with the sanding sleeves. just spent 50 bucks for about 10. ill try this before i blow more money on sleeves again, cheers

Very good idea ! thanks for sharing !
+Rodrigo Vazquez Diaz
thank you, buddy.
Thank you for your wonderful video, but I would like to explain step for step preocess of construction.
This is great, thank you!

coool project , i have that same angle-grinder Holder thingy
What is the flexible gray base layer you cut after the sandpaper strips?
You are a genius.
Thank you for sharing.
very ingenious

Making miniature sandpaper is fantastic. It's wonderful. But I have a question. There was a pipe before the sandpaper was washed. What is the name of the material?
Wow amazing.
But what about the materials?
Thank you for ur explianed.
But what kind of glue or aboxiy using with' red strong paper' thats is very important. And what diameter size of Stick stamp?
Redardes my friend

BRILLIANT!
Excellent idea.

Boa noite!!
Que material vermelho é esse que a lixa foi colada em cima?
But which materials are you using?
Disculpa que pegamento usaste? Gracias.
Brilliant! I've always just superglued a small strip of w/e grit sandpaper I wanted to use around a worn out drum. Couple questions if ya don't mind.. What was the diameter of the rod you used? Also, was that contruction paper you used for the lining? Thanks for sharing :)
the rod is 12mm.
the paper is some simple hobby-store stuff. you get them in A3 for 1€ a sheet.
its the same paper i use for my micarta.
cheers, geko
Geko on Crete super cool. Thankd for sharing. What type (weight) of paper is it?
Cool music too!
Geko on Crete Very cool, thanks :) And like John asked, is it pretty much the same thickness as constuction paper?

John Krakatoa use waxpaper
Please give an explanation of what you used to make these sanding drums!
Awesome idea
Awesome!
Anybody made a price comparison to ready-made ones?
What disk are you using to cut the tube?
hh nice idea ^^
But what about materiel ??
is that normale red paper ??
What materials you used? Apart of the sandings...thanks, This is great!
I used a white protector tube from a close hanger same diameter as the mandrel www.pinterest.com/pin/157344580708583965/
awesome

I just use spray on loctite and maybe scareboard tape or sand paper.
brilliant idea. What is the name of the background song?
"Holly" by Hernán Nieto
فكرة رائعة
very good!
Perfect. Allready subscribed.
Finding a rod the correct diameter to do this is the only hard part I would think. Anyone else know?
random idea, dead printers have a few long metal rods in them, some ~4mm wide some 1cm wide.
Thanx Dogs! Guess it would have nice for Geko to tell it all about the process... but was more interested in breaking our ears out with dumb endless music.. huh!
Very good
what kind of epoxy glue did you use?
I would like to build a bigger drum as well

great music
anybody know what diameter rod was used? Was it just a certain size of rebar? I need to sand some beveled edges on some kitchen cabinets. Thanks!
David
+David Knowles
you just need to measure your dremel tool.
or an old drum.
Subscribed!
Even easier glue the sand paper to the one you run down each time even faster just use a strong glue
Got to give this a try. Did you use pva glue or something else?
i use 2 component epoxy resin. its the left over resin after making micarta.
cheers, geko
muy bueno gracias
very smart!! how about wire brush diy...
Great idea, nice video. What do you use as the red base material ?
its strong paper. simple hobby-store stuff. you get them in A3 for 1€ a sheet.
its the same stuff that i use for my micarta.
cheers, geko
top job
excellent :))
Nice.
What kind of saw blade did you use to cut them?
