Hi,
This is making of a rotary sander like the skilton sander but a much cheaper way.

I've found the skateboard wheels don't seem to last long. I think it's 'cos they're not really designed for what's primarily lateral thrust. :sigh:

Perhaps a cone-bearing is the better way to go.

That would make the build easy.
