Purpose:
I think most of you will have heard of the GRR-Riper, or something similar. It's main purpose in life is to safely help push a plank of wood through some type of table saw or router, while maintaining constant pressure to the work peace.With a little inspiration from the internet, I have come up with this way to achieve the same ends without the super high price tag. Have a look on Amazon, and if you could find someone to ship to Thailand, it would cost you an arm and leg, maybe two legs.
Preparation:
While strolling around the super market, keep an eye out for the generic brand bathroom floor scrubber. Don't go for the 3M brand one, you can do it cheaper. Pick it up, and put in shopping trolley. Pay for it, and take home.
The Build:

Remove packaging.
|
 |
 |
Remove scourer pad from handle. You might find that you are left with quite a bit left behind with the glue. I used a box cutter to clean the area, but I think a sharp chisel would be have been better and easier.
|
Find a piece of scrap wood that is a bit larger than the base of the handle around all edges. This will be the sacrificial material and give a safety margin. I used something approx 18mm thick.
|
 |
|
Using hot glue, attach wood to handle. Again using hot glue. attach the non slip sponge to the underside of the wood.
|
Let it all dry and give it a go.
