    Default block size suggestions

    Hi folks

    Up to this point I've been using home made sanding blocks and/or wood working blocks. I've never been pleased with them and am looking at buying some of the durablocks that Len sells. I've seen the "mega pack" (not called that really) but am wondering if people could offer some advice on the ones they turn to most often. I don't mind spending good money for good tools of course but I don't want to buy things that people say infrequently get used.

    Which ones do you find you use the most?

    Thanks !

    In our shop we use just about all of the ones that come in the "Large Kit" and we regularly use the Tear Drop block. We've even cut the "Original" and the "Teardrop" blocks (after buying another of each) so that we have smaller versions to use. We cut one third off so that we have a 1/3, 2/3 and full size of these two blocks. The "Original" is the top block in the picture of the large kit.
