You are having a laugh aren't you?
Please post a pic, this I have to see.
Are you a fakir?

Cheers

Ahhhhh, I see (said the blind galoot). My exposure to sanding blocks has been strictly limited to cork ones hitherto. Obviously I'm a hopeless newbie. Are they comfortable to use?

Cheers, Alf

 

[Jake]

Fairly. Depends on the size of your hands and the size of the pad, I guess. I doubt they are going to warm the heart of a galoot, really. And more than once I've stabbed myself getting the damn sandpaper fastened in - bit fiddly that bit as the paper doesn't want to bend over that tightly really. Once it is in it stays in, though.

They're OK.

 

[Steve Maskery]

That's not what I had imagined.
Thank you for the education.

Cheers
Steve

I simply wrap a piece of the 3M around any old flat offcut that is about 3" by 6"

 

[Jake]

Graceful Steve. I did wonder how you were going to recover after coming out that hard...

ok, so Jake's answered already - the screwfix one is the one I have. And yes, I have impaled myself on the nails on more than one occasion - they're damned sharp too.

Nope Steve, I'm not a fakir (however you want to spell it! lol)

One of these days I'll work out how to put pictures on a web-site, so I can post illustrations of stuff I describe badly!

Yes I was a sad loss to the Diplomatic Corps.

Now, talking of sandpaper, anyone else see the piece in FWW recently? The US are, apparently coming into line with Euprope on grading. Whatever next? Going Metric? Signing Kyoto? (Oops, geting political there, no PMs please).

Pity it's only something as innocuous as abrasive, but, like Tesco, every little helps.
