SHOP NOTES: Building a surface sander for your Shopsmith (or any wood lathe) is s pretty simple and straightforward project. Several people on www.LumberJocks.com, on the Shopsmith Forums www.shopsmith.com/ss_forum, and in the Shopsmith Owners Facebook Group have shared their versions so I figure it's time to share mine. I started with the basic design shared in R.J. DeCristoforo's version of the book "Power Tool Woodworking For Everyone" (PTWWFE) but after building a segmented ring project from 3/4" lumber that required sanding, I learned that I needed to take a different approach. That's where this video begins.
