Home Made Drum Sander
Hunted High & Low for a Drum Sander for the Wife's Intarsia stuff.
Couldn't find one anywhere near here.
Had a go at making one,
WELL , it worked Total cost $10.75
1 Poly Pipe screw on Cap with Pipe end
1 Packet sanding belts
Drilled a hole in the centre of the cap , scewed the fitting on , slotted the drum & folded the sanding belt to squeeze it into the slot & over the drum , Put a light round piece of a pencil into the crease of the sanding belt on the inside of the drum which pulled the belt tight. Then attached it to the Grinder on the right side , this tightens as it spins forward.
Works fine

Looks great but I'm not sure what you meant with the pencil. Can we have another photo of that part please ??
If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

Necessity, Poverty or is it creativity...the mother of all invention, looks good and has given me an idea for what to do with old belt sander belts.
My old man made a meat bandsaw out of two bicycle wheels and a washing machine motor. Frightens the crappers out of me but hey, it works for him.
