Default Sanding tool
Found these mandrels and sanding rolls at harbor freight, mandrels are four inches long,shortened one to two and five eights by 1/4,pulled glue loose on straight roll then used shop scissors to split it,works great on small carvings, like a small sand o flex.

Looks like a good idea Larry, hope I can figure out how to do it. Hand sanding makes my hands ache bad, more than anything!

Thanks to ever one, I failed to mention the mandrels have a coating on them had to be polished off so it would fit in hand piece. Sharon i know the feeling when i am carving or sanding small items i have to take a break to let my hands rest.
