Needed... Not boat plans but related!

[Wild Dingo]

Some time back a forumite {I think it was Bruce Taylor?} posted a thread with pics of the drum sander he built... I now have a fairly new 3hp motor from an old table saw {2 years old} that I dont need anymore as Ive replaced it with a heavier duty saw... so I was thinking of building one of those drum sanders

Any ideas where the plans for one are hidden on this internet thing? Or if youve built one do you have any your prepared to email across to a fella needing a decent sized drum sander?

Thanks in advance

None of these are that one. Googling 'luthier' 'home made' 'drum sander' abrasive planer' and the like will probably net you more, maybe even the one you actually wanted smile.gif

From the Musical Instrument maker's forum, Drum Sander (http://www.mimf.com/archives/thickness_sander2.htm)

One with lots of pictures (http://www.rockslide.org/drum%20sander.html)

Was interesting reading the MIM members comments in the first one.

Hopefully Bruce or whoever it was will drop in shortly and mutter "ahhh geez here we go again with the ruddy drum sander" and whack the plans up! ;)

Thanks for the links Derek appreciated :cool:
