Surface sander

jturner:
I was looking online and found plans to make your own surface sander. very simple. I already had the motor so I figured id try, took about an hour to make i have 24 dollars into the bearings 3.50 for the shaft and the guy at the macine shop made the drum and we got talkin about bows and he wouldnt take any money for it. The plans called for a wood drum I didnt like that idea so I went with aluminum. I went cheap on the wood but I was surprised how well it works. has anyone else tried making one? I wish I would have found the plans a long time ago.

I just put it together to try it and it will work like it is to taper belly cores for hick backed osage. Im still having trouble posting pics. I need to find a way thats so easy a caveman can do it lol.  Lowell just google homemade drum sander or surface sander
