N
othing dampens my enthusi-
asm for sanding more than
having to look high and low for the
right sandpaper. That’s why I decided
to build the portable sandpaper stor-
age box you see in the photos.
The box has three small compart-
ments, sized to hold three rolls of self-
adhesive sandpaper. (I like 4
1
⁄
2
"-wide
rolls.) As you can see in the photo
at right, the rolls simply drop inside
with the loose end facing up. Finger
cutouts in the front make it easy to lift
the lid and get to the sandpaper.
But there’s no reason to remove
the sandpaper to tear off a piece. A
recessed hacksaw blade attached
to the underside of the hinged lid
makes this a snap.
Best of all, a pair of cleats make it
easy to hang the box anywhere, or
take it right to the job at hand.

This sandpaper storage box is a
great accessor y to have on hand
in the shop, and it’s a pretty quick
project. The box is made entirely
out of

with simple glued butt joints.
ConstruCtion.
Start by cutting the
front, back, sides, and dividers to
size. As you see in Figure 1, the
front and dividers are recessed to
support the lid when it’s closed. In
a minute you’ll see why I did this.
But, before you glue it all together,
make the inger cutouts on the
front (Figure 1). I used the drill
press and a Forstner bit to drill a
hole at the bottom of each cutout
and then removed the waste with
a jig saw. Once all these pieces are
cut to size, go ahead and glue the
pieces together to make the box.
Lid.
Now you can cut the lid to
size. But before you attach it to
the box, there are couple of other
things you’ll want to do.
First, rout a centered dovetail-
shaped groove in the top of the lid
(Figure 2a). This groove holds a
posterboard label strip. This way,
you’ll know exactly what grit sand-
paper you’re using. A dovetail bit
mounted in a router table does a
good job of routing the groove.
Switch to a straight bit to rout a
shallow rabbet in the front, bottom
edge of the lid. This rabbet holds a
couple sections of hacksaw blade.
Before gluing the blades in place
with epoxy, cut off the rounded
ends and ile them square (Figures
2 and 2a). Now, when you hold the
lid down, the serrated blade makes
it easy to tear off a piece of sandpa-
per just the length you need.
Once you’ve added the blades,
attach the lid using a short section
of continuous hinge.
CLeats.
Finally, mount the box
with a couple of plywood cleats.
The cleats have beveled edges and
are ripped from a single workpiece
(Figure 2 and the photo at right).
One cleat attaches to the back of
the box and the other is screwed
in place wherever you need to have
sandpaper close at hand.
