That's a great idea. I make my pads myself also. But I use scissors. It's a pain in the butt. Now I'm giving this a try. Thanks for sharing Kez!

Ok I’m convinced now. Lol. I need me a wad puncher

I've made wad punches from old hole saws. I grind off the teeth and sharpen the edge at about 40 degrees. I have also threaded and welded a bolt into the hole saw where it fits the mandrel. Works a charm....saves a lot of money.

Thanks Kerry, purchased a wad punch quite a while ago now for myself. Went to purchase another for my teacher and couldn’t find one anywhere in Oz. Will look at the Glenn Lucus ones now.

Hi KC...
I caught the second video first..lol...
Yes there's loads of prep work for a one man show...it can be tedious but its also essential for quality products...you always offer multiple choices in tools and techniques..and I believe that's important..otherwise we would all be right-handed..😁...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and journey...🌿🌿🌿

Never thought of that. Gives me an idea. Going to try and cut mine with my laser 👍 cheers

[Chipswoodworking]

I never thought about cutting down the sandpaper. I just use the large circles till they are no longer usable haha. this could be a game changer

Super helpful and Brother, you know I crack up at those whip sounds!

I looked up clingspor rolls of 4.5"x10m hook and loop paper, for 2" disks you can get 4x making your own.

what are the inside diameters of both pipes? thank you!

[FixitFingers]

What's your cost saving of say buying a pack of 2" discs vs making the same number?
