    Re Sand Paper -- if you use sanding sticks then you don't have any
    little bits of sand paper about.  Just buy the sanding (emery)
    sticks once and then rewrap them with your own sandpaper or emery
    paper. 

    To do this:  take the sand paper and trim the length if necessary.
    Line up the sanding stick at the edge of the sandpaper.  At the
    other side of the sanding stick, score the sandpaper.  Fold up the
    sandpaper and stick, holding them together.  Score again, fold
    again, score, fold, etc., until you run out of sandpaper.  Secure
    with staples or wire at the top. 

    When a side of sandpaper gets worn out, simply tear it off and throw
    it away.  There's a perfectly fresh piece underneath.  Saves time,
    is neat, and it's a more efficient way to sand.
