    Flat sanding cawl

    In luthery work, for the purpose of leveling the frets of a fingerboard, you need a dead flat sanding cawl.
    Here is how to make one out of wood and glass.

    I first shape a wooden handle block, planned as flat as possible.
    Then I cut with a standard glass cutter three layers of the same size out of a scrap piece of window glass, maybe 3mm thick.
    All these, glued together using CA glue (works very well on glass)
    After the glue has cured, the edges are smoothed using a dremel and a diamond wheel.
    Eventually, I have stuck a sheet of 1000 grit sandpaper using double side tape.
