Fine detail sander

Made one of these at home.
Had an old electric toothbrush that ran on batteries, and I couldnt get new heads for it.
I didn't want to bin it so I cut the bristles off of a couple of old heads.
I super glued on small circles of wet n' dry paper.
It makes a really good sander polisher for fine work, removing seem etc.
When thw paper gets clogged, I just glue another bit over the top.

Clever idea!

Do you have pictures of it?

To be honest Mortis, no.
I've never thought of taking pics of it cos its just a tool to me.
Its also sort of beat up now, it doesn't look that great any more, not to photogenic.
For one thing, its half covered with paint.
