Nice! And great that you show the finished product at the beginning. Too many tutorials start with the construction phase without the viewer knowing what the end product is going to look like, and thus missing the context of the different parts.
Nice, I built mine almost exactly the same only difference is I added a hood with a stub tube on top so I could attach my shop vac because these things will flat make some dust in a quick hurry..
Nice project. But I have a question. why does everyone build this sander with the board in a downhill? is there a reason for this? I saw a youtube video, the guy was building it like a planer, a flat surface and you have to puch the wood forward. it was great for long boards too.
sounds good I might have to look into that next time. I like the raising table it made it easier for my build. thanks for asking

sticky tapes are too thick. you shouldn't have selected foamy ones. other than that this is nice build. i have seen many on youtube. still, noone found a practical way to change sand papers to use different grids
Hi Looks like a great build. i have some small spare castors which I'll add to the lift mechanism. What are the dimensions pls? Length and width of sanding bed and height to drum? Do you get any excessive vibrations from the drill powering? Keep the videos coming. Cheers Mike
I did the dimensions on the video I didn't draw them up as my plans did change during the build. if you skim through you will find them. I think the base is 2'x2' the stand for the sanding rod is around 8" high and the sanding rod itself is 2.5" thick and 13 " long or form inside to inside. Meaning I can sand up to a 12" piece at one time, and no I don't feel any major vibrations just need to do a dust collection system for it, .thanks for watching and taking the time to ask this question
