The Cheap Woodworking Tool I Can't Live Without

One of the tools I reach for the most in my woodworking shop happens to also be the cheapest. A simple scrap of MDF with a sandpaper face can get you out of a jamb in a lot of situations.

I first made these some time back for use as sanding blocks, and they worked fine. Now I see I have actually got multi-use tools! 😃
Another similar use tool I made to stop my sharpening stone from sliding is a piece of MDF with a thin layer of silicone sealant spread onto it. This works great, and I have used the technique on other items that I want to have some 'grip'... such as sawbench 'pushers'. The silicone eventually loses its grip when dust coats the surface, but a wipe with a damp cloth rejuvenates it somewhat.
Thanks for your video. 👍

first cut - gonna say that looks pretty dangerous and unnecessary. yes, seems quick but if that wood binds and you get kick back, your hand is going to go towards the blade, especially with you ready well past and leaning over that far. you're also standing directly behind where the kick back is. the entire system is relying on the friction from the sand paper basically vs your hand force and the table saw. yikes....
