Quick and easy sanding box. (My first youtube project!)

At the time I was making this my livingroom was my workshop so dust was my biggest enemy. I had some 3d printing & prop projects that included a lot of sanding of plasic and filler so no shortage of dust there...

Making this sanding box has helped a lot to solve this problem. You can make a quick small one like this or expand the design and make a dedicated sanding table for your workshop. All the woods came from scraps laying around and I modelled and 3D printed the vacuum attachment which can be downloaded on thingiverse.

 

Tools used

  • Handsaw
  • Ultimaker 2+ 3D printer
  • Cordless drill
  • Orbital sander

If you are a starting maker this is a basic toolkit that you will be putting to very good use. I put mainly quality tools in here because I believe that quality not only makes your tools last longer, it also makes it easier to make nice things and thus more enjoyable.
