 I get the idea, but I don't get why you won't just buy some sandpaper from your local hardware store.

well, it would be more challenging (and slightly boring) to glue the sandpaper you bought onto a piece of scrap wood.
Maybe throw in how to make the glue? and a crash course on sanding?

Hot glue isn't the best, and a thicker piece of would would give you a better grip. Still, if it works, it's good. L
