No, I made a frame for it and hung it on my bedroom wall. :)

I was having similar difficulties for a long time, but got it right at last. It sure felt like there was something wrong with the pieces... I can't remember anymore, but probably I mixed up some side pieces with bottom pieces. The differences in the colors and shapes are sometimes very subtle. Also see my comment below on the cut pattern.

I think it was something like 100-120 hours.

@@ArmasLahtaaja oh my gosh. any tips?????

@@MsJetaime6 The cut pattern repeats; the left side pieces have the same shapes as the ones on the right side - so you might accidentally misplace some pieces on a wrong side, since they are almost perfect fit there too. Color changes are often minute so have some good lighting.

@@ArmasLahtaaja Thank you so much! this helps.

Thanks. The tube is for connecting a shop vac.

Thanks. I'm sure there will be more content some day. New smaller shop takes time to get organized and working.

Understood. Then... Here I am, subscribing to your channel, waiting for news from you :) Hopefully I'll post something in the near future. I'm planning to shoot making of some clamps using John Heisz idea. I just made one and I was sorry I did'n film the process.

+Gilbert Chircop It is probably much too high. A sander does not need a lot of speed.

but the transformer that i will going to buy has a switch that can turn down the voltage and it will bring down the the speed

+Gilbert Chircop You will just have to try it. It might be a little small but might work, I have no idea. If you have some ball bearings to use with your sander, they will probably help because they reduce the friction a lot. I made my sander from whatever I had - and I had no money to buy parts for it. It was never a great machine and has a lot of limitations, but it still gets the work done.

+Gilbert Chircop I run the drill motor with a small (maybe 20 Ah) 12 V battery with it's charger connected to it.

+Gilbert Chircop Sorry, there is no list or plans. Just a video for inspiration.

+ArmasLahtaaja ok then thank you

+JUAN FRANCISCO ROJAS Thanks. The design could of course be made much better but that is what I came up with back then - with very limited resources. The tube is for connecting a vacuum cleaner.

+steve ling put more rubber bands if necessary, the surface area of the sander is so small that the resistance would be negligable

Yes there is absolutely no problem with using rubber bands. The force needed is very easy to adjust by the amount and/or length of the rubber bands.

I already have. And I really like your elegant bike. :)

A toy for a hobby, that's what hobbies are ... essentially playing. Don't you think?

Thanks.The wheels are cut from birch board with a hole saw and have layers of vulcanising tape around them.

Marvin L Stohs Sr Not in the Uk :-( and this is practically free.

Sorry no plans; this bad video is all there is. You would not want to copy the machine as it is anyway - but you may want to use some ideas from it.

Not many people have routers :) and drills are more common.

A router spins at something like 30 thousand RPM. I wouldn't make a pulley out of wood and attach it to a router. What you might try is getting an RC model brushless motor with a low kv (rpm/volt) and running it at a low voltage, but I suspect once you add up the cost of the LiPo battery and ESC, it's cheaper to just buy a cordless or plugin hand drill. The only downside to using a hand drill is they have brushed motors which wear out with continuous usage, at least until hand tool manufacturers get with the 21st century and start using brushless DC motors.

puddingpimp DeWalt makes brushless DC motors.

This machine was made out of what was available - and I do have a few cordless drills from recycling center. Actually from their trash bin. Thrown away because they had no working batteries. Router I use for routing... And as noted above, router motor would be far too fast for a sanding machine. But, the point for my little machine - which is not in any way perfect - is that you can make one up from whatever you happen to have around you. Maybe the best things in my version are tensioning with ordinary rubber bands - works great at least with such a small sanding belt - and the use of a discarded drill and it's chuck. Definitely the table is the worst part of it - it is only supported from the center. That's why now it has the table replaced; but I do still use the machine and it works well enough so that I have not yet made a new one.

puddingpimp How can I make my router spins slower?

Not that good, but hopefully there is enough idea for others to benefit and create something useful for themselves.

Sorry, it's not a tutorial.

NOTHING IS POINTLESS JUST WATCHING IS ENOUGH FOR SOME PEOPLE

If it were a tutorial you might have a point but to be honest I would rather see more tutorials made in the fashion of this video, which is short and to the point (and almost tutorial quality) and I don't have to listen to someone drone on forever as though they'd never realized they could edit things out of their videos. Just my opinion as I gleaned quite a bit from this video myself.

You make the pieces the way you can.

Best answer ever.

I still use the machine and the rubber bands don't break.
