A big challenge that comes with working with smaller pieces of stock is being able to sand without removing a layer of your own skin or nail in the process. Adding a sanding block to a vise works, but with their small surfaces, they really only work for very small items. If you have a dog hole on the front of your bench you can make what I call a dog sanding board. I screwed a piece of thin stock to the front of a piece of plywood that will hold the jig tight against the table. With a spade bit I marked the location of the dog hole from the bottom up and moved the mark a 32nd towards the edge. This makes it clamp on after I’ve added my 3/4 inch dowel.

If you have a vise, the same can easily be done by clamping the stock you added and bypassing the dowel completely.

The plywood is the width and a less length of a piece of standard sandpaper. To clamp it on fold the edges of the sandpaper and add a couple f-clamps.

Besides being able to clean the face of small things easily, I even found I could sharpen dull chisels with the finer sandpaper I bought in a multipack.
