Sanding Mat

There’s nothing more frustrating than sanding a project on your benchtop and then turning it over to find a scratch or dent. It’s often the result of a wood chip or dried glue blob stuck to the bench.

Avoiding this problem is just a matter of using a carpet mat to protect your work. I picked up a couple at a local grocery store for about a $1 apiece.
