The "Patience Stick" - A tool to grind gussets and learn patience

The Patience Stick -

I needed a tool to expedite the sanding and finish process. There's a ton of the round gussets and because they are round it makes finishing these extremely time consuming. Because I have a 12" disk sander I wanted to use that, it's a great tool and it's a productive tool when used properly.

The Patience Stick is a tool that holds 2 half round gussets at one time. It's a stick that has a notch cut in the end to capture both parts and a clamp that holds them tight to the backstop so they don't move.

On the notched portion I glued down some sandpaper to keep them from wanting to slide off. It works perfect, in fact, it worked better than I had imagined.
