This is my DYI drum sander build, I have been trying to get another video loaded up in my new work space and thought this would be perfect to share. I have used a smaller sander set up for veneer and other projects but wanted a bigger version of the drill drum sander for a while. After watching a few Drum sander builds this is what I came up with. Here is a list of materials that I used on this project:
3/4 Plywood 2’x4’ plus some 3/8 ply scrape that I had
1/2” all thread and 1/2” 4 nuts
1/4” all thread and 1/4” nuts and washers (8 each)
1/4” Rod Coupling Nut (4)
4x39” Sand paper (80grit)
Wood workers two sided tape
Heavy duty 1/2 drill (1200 rpm)
1x12x24” Shelving board
1.5” hinges (2)
5 min epoxy
1/2” bearings (4)
Wood glue, dry wall screws, nails
