Claim:
1. A method of loading sheet sandpaper onto a hand-held sanding block, wherein the sheet sandpaper: a) has an abrasive surface; and b) is 9″×11″; wherein the hand-held sanding block has a body with: a) a top surface; b) a pair of upper axial edges; c) a pair of lower axial edges; d) a pair of side surfaces; e) a pair of end surfaces; and f) a sandpaper-holding blind slot defined by: wherein said method comprising the steps of: a) folding the sheet sandpaper in half to form a doubled ½ sheet sandpaper having a pair of free long edges, a folded long edge, and two pair of short edges, and being 9″×5½″; b) inserting the folded long edge of the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper into the sandpaper-holding blind slot of the body so as to form a first inserted portion, with the abrasive surface of the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper engaging against one side surface of the sandpaper-holding blind slot of the body for preventing the first inserted portion of the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper from unintentional removal from the sandpaper-holding blind slot of the body; c) bending the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper outwardly over an adjacent terminal edge of the sandpaper-holding blind slot of the body, onto the top surface of the body, so as to form a first top portion; d) bending the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper downwardly over an adjacent upper axial edge of the body, onto an adjacent side surface of the body, so as to form a first side portion; e) bending the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper inwardly over an adjacent lower axial edge, onto the bottom surface of the body, so as to form a bottom portion; f) bending the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper upwardly over the other lower axial edge, onto the other side surface of the body, so as to form a second side portion; g) bending the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper inwardly over the other upper axial edge, onto the top surface of the body, so as to form a second top portion; and h) bending the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper downwardly over the other terminal edge of the sandpaper-holding blind slot of the body, onto the other side surface of the sandpaper-holding blind slot of the body, so as to form a second insert portion being the pair of free long edges of the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper, with the abrasive surface of the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper engaging against the other side surface of the sandpaper-holding blind slot of the body for preventing the second inserted portion of the doubled ½ sheet sandpaper of the sheet sandpaper from unintentional removal from the sandpaper-holding blind slot of the body.
