Hi guys,
finally got some time to work on my homemade drum sander. All that's left to do is to make spring loaded rollers and dust extraction. Hope to have it finished by the end of weekend, so I can start grinding some lams.
Here is short video

Hope you get well soon Roy.

Nicely done Zdenek! That looks like it will work well for you

Thanks, Zdenek.

That's a neat drum sander you built..

Pics Kenny? Which one you shooting this year?

kennym · « **Reply #168 on:** February 11, 2016, 11:58:00 PM »

It's a brand new one. All curly maple dyed dark. Ain't working to suit me on riser...

kristalik · « **Reply #169 on:** February 12, 2016, 07:42:00 AM »

Thanks Roy, it took a lot longer to make than expected, but I think it will be worth it. It can sand 16" wide and up to 5" thick. It has 1100w 220v motor and the belt has adjustable speed control from zero to 4' per minute and is mounted on 4 threaded shafts so it can be finely adjusted in 0,002" increments.
Here is photo of it almost completed.

That's pretty sweet right there! Well done.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #171 on:** February 12, 2016, 08:31:00 AM »

Nice..

kennym · « **Reply #172 on:** February 12, 2016, 08:50:00 AM »

Cool sander, kristalik !!

Can you use a drill with a socket to speed the raising of table when you need to go several inches?

kennym · « **Reply #173 on:** February 12, 2016, 08:50:00 AM »

Roy, how's the shoulder feeling?

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #174 on:** February 12, 2016, 08:59:00 AM »

Sore and tight, but a little better every day. It's only been 9 days since the surgery. Seen the doctor yesterday, she said about 4 months till I can shoot a bow. Start PT next week.

Well Roy can you still build bows? Hope so so you have something to release all that pent up orneryness!!!!!!! Or are the pain drugs keeping you civil if so I'm staying out of your way when they wear off.

kristalik · « **Reply #176 on:** February 12, 2016, 09:33:00 AM »

Hi Kenny, yes I tried it and thanks god it works well, if it wasn't I would have to do 17 turns of the knob per inch :eek: and it has quite a bit of resistance.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #177 on:** February 12, 2016, 09:55:00 AM »

Nope Ben, can't even raise the arm up and out to my side till 4 weeks. Then it will be a little at a time after the 4 weeks. Being old and the tendon that tore is the tendon that raises the arm up I guess. So I need to be very careful not to tear it loose again. Been off the pain meds for a few days now. Them and I don't get along well..

kennym · « **Reply #178 on:** February 12, 2016, 11:58:00 AM »

I didn't do well with the pain drugs either, gave me some weird dreams!

monterey · « **Reply #179 on:** February 12, 2016, 12:04:00 PM »

Can only raise one arm? Must be tough to have to down those Lights one at a time!
