I did just find his belt sander plans and was trying to adapt. In the meantime, I came across a magazine article from the early 2000s on a diy edge sander that’s excellently laid out.
Somehow I’m a collector of magazines from old guys that’ve passed. Forgot I had ~200 woodworking mags with plans in them. Also have every traditional bowhunter magazine acquired the same way, from a different fella. Just take up space until they’re helpful lol. Thank you!
