Looks great Ivan. I hope you will have a lot of benefit from it. I,m curious how you have made the sanding drums and what paper you are using?

Thanks for sharing.

Question: why to go through the trouble of making one when you can buy a perfectly good Rigid for very little money?
Just curious

Could you tell me how you made the wooden rollers/drums and how they hold the spindles in place without compressing like the rubber variety? I recently bought an old spindle sander that's missing most of the drums and replacements are very expensive.
