Here’s a clever DIY sander trick from @jinyijewelry_factory 👏✨

They start by rolling sandpaper into a cone, tucking the edges in with round pliers, then running a drill bit inside to rotate it. To keep the paper from flapping, they wrap a bit of white tape around the base — some folks even use tiny dental rubber bands!

This little setup is perfect for getting into narrow areas, and you can make it with any grit you have on hand. Such a smart bench hack.

Thanks to @jinyijewelry_factory for letting us share! 🙌
