Surface sander

Ok finally figured out the pictures. The plans called for this to be built of mdf plywood with a formica laminated top. I got the shaft and drum finished and had to try it so I used scrap 2x6. the top one has a hinge at the far end to change the thickness. Checked the pieces I ran through it with didgital calipers and it is dead flat. I can cut strips with my sawmill and give them about three passes on this and they are ready to glue. It takes less than a minute to change paper.

Justin Snyder:
So how do you attach the paper?

vtclimber:
Nice man. I made one a while back that I used to thickness sand guitar tops. A little spray adhesive holds the paper on nicely.

jturner:
I thought about glue but then i found one that was way better. I cut a slot 1/4 inch wide the length of the drum, put the paper in the slot wrap it around the drum stick the other end of the paper in the slot then stick a piece of the rubber string that holds window screens in place into the slot. shove it in with a scredriver and done. Plus i can use regular sandpaper.

vtclimber:
Crap, I wish I had thought of that! That is a great idea.
