This section is from the book "The Boy Mechanic Vol. 2 1000 Things for Boys to Do", by Popular Mechanics Co.. Also available from Amazon: The Boy Mechanic, Vol2: 1000 Things for Boys to Do.
A cylindrical sander for use in the lathe can be easily made of two pieces of wood, turned to a diameter that will take the stock size of sandpaper, and clamped together with pinch dogs At the ends. One edge of the sandpaper is clamped between the pieces and then it is wrapped around the wood, the opposite edge being glued to the starting edge, as shown at A. The dimensions given are for a 9 by 12-in. sheet of sandpaper. The sander is easily placed in the lathe centers when needed, and the sandpaper may be replaced at any time. - Contributed by James T. Gaffney, Chicago.
