    If you happen to have a Dremel Tool you can add a split mandrel and
    use that to move things along. It's not a flexshaft, but it works.
    Cut 1" x 2.5" strips of wet/dry sandpaper of each grade, 200-600,
    higher if you have it. You should be able to find this at a hardware
    store. Before slipping the sandpaper into the mandrel pull it paper
    side down along the edge of a table to break the glue. Fold over
    approx. 1/4" of the short edge and then slip into the mandrel. It
    should stay in there snuggly. Always wear safety glasses and mask
    when using your tools. Keep your fingers as clear of the spinning
    paper as you can, or you'll sand them too! 

Have fun!
