Woodturning: Alternate Power Sanding Disk Page (2)

If you have a Jacob's chuck for your lathe, by all means mount the disk in the chuck and turn it to shape. For purposes of illustration I am mounting it in the drill press and shaping it with a micro rasp

or a regular rasp.

You want it rounded and tapered smaller in the back than the front.

Using a sanding disk as a pattern draw a circle on a piece of foam pad from a back packer's sleeping pad or something similar.

and cut it out.

Glue it to the wood disk with hot glue.

Mark off the sides of the Velcro strip

and glue it in place with hot glue. I have tried other glues like CA and epoxy. They work but this does as well and it is fast and easy. Why fix what is not broken?
