Thanks for tuning in!
In this video I will show you, how I make my handsanding blocks. They are inspired by the ones Aaron Gough from GoughCustom made some years back. This block is made out of WPC, a mixture of resin and wood, wich is really durable, especially against water, what makes this stuff perfect for a handsanding helper!
You can buy one of these at my
Etsy Store: https://www.etsy.com/de/shop/SpiraKnives

A handsanding helper made for beginners and pros!
It fits perfectly to use standart sandpaper sheets (23cm x 28cm) that are cut into 8 pieces à 7cm x 11,5cm

About me: My name is Tim and I'm a 20 year old student. I got into knifemaking about two years ago, by watching videos similar to this one. Over the years, I gained some knowledge and last year I built this belt grinder to finally make my own knives. I do sell custom orders, mostly of kitchen knives, if you're interested, follow me on Instagram. My goal is to make inspirational and educating, as well as entertaining videos. I gained almost all my knowledge by watching YouTube ideos, so now I want to give something back. If you’ve got a question, feel free to write me a comment or start a conversation with me via my Instagram @spira_knives
Future plans: I want to make educational as well as inspirational and entertaining videos. The topics will be setting up my workshop and mostly making knives.
A few ideas that I will post soon:
- ̶a̶̶ ̶̶f̶̶u̶̶n̶̶k̶̶y̶̶ ̶̶b̶̶a̶̶b̶̶y̶̶ ̶̶c̶̶l̶̶e̶̶a̶̶v̶̶e̶̶r̶ (lost all files before I rendered the video)
- forging a drawknife for woodworking
- forging a herb chopper
- building a gas forge
- how I etch my logo
All my builds and machines are low cost but good quality. I’m a beginner as well as a student on University, so I want to get the best tools for the least amount of money. If you are starting your new hobby, consider watching me setting up my little workshop.
