Cleaning Sanding Drums

Sanding drums eventually get clogged with leather dust when sanding leather edges and surfaces over a period of time. When the sanding drum gets clogged, it does not sand very well. Another leather worker told me rather than replacing the sandpaper, the sanding drum can easily be cleaned with a crepe block. I gave it a first try in this video and it works great making the sanding drum like new again. The crepe blocks can be picked up at such places as Lee Valley Tools or Busy Bee Tools.
