Default Bow sander
Recycle your old hacksaw blade into a bow sander. Cover the blade with tape,cut a piece of clothed backed sandpaper to fit the bent blade add about 2 in. to be bent over the ends.I secured the sandpaper with cut pieces of paper folder plastic easy on and off for storage. Great for the hard to get at spots and will thread threw holes.I use several with different grits.
Gordo.

I have made a couple of bow sanders...one I cut the form out of wood, the second, I took an old coping saw..both work great..and both work really well on sticks and canes.
