- Make the most of a small workshop and maximize the use of a normal handheld belt sander with this jig.
I don't have space for large equipment so I made this jig as a simple substitute.

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. czcams.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
This has to be the best conversion of a belt sander on you tube. Really cleaver design. Well done
Not only an excellent craftsman! We tend to forget sometimes how much work goes into making these videos. You put together some of the finest videos with awesome editing skills!
damn i love the idea of things being 'stored' properly but still accessible to use right then and there! im so happy this channel exists :)
Nice. Perhaps make the fence curve around at the end, to make use of the curve section of the belt? This way it can be used on internal curves when in the horizontal position. Shouldn't interfere with the use in the vertical position.
Once again: INGENIOUS! I adore the French Cleat solution! The idea is simple and obvious if you think of it, but to get such an idea just shows how ingenious you are.
Thank you for sharing. Love your channel.
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
That moment at 12:12 when the fence can be swapped to be oriented either direction! 😍 Great video - best one I’ve seen on CZcams so far!
Amazing build - as always :)
My first thought in regards to the vertical/horizontal function would be to have them both accessible with french cleats.
Cutting out a section of the vertical cleat and running another one horizintally would allow you to simply 'flip' the setup on the wall.
Cheers
Your whole setup is amazing. You make me feel like an idiot as I have the same space but can not fit my toys in properly
For fellow South Africans I found t nuts and screw inserts at Gelmar
Thanks for the info Martin, was wondering where to find.
Don't worry, we are two!
@@mogbaba Builders Warehouse stocks T-nut inserts, but I would shop around for better prices. In fact, anything you find at Builders you can probably find for cheaper elsewhere.
Well done and inspiring!
About corded tools and the issue you had with cord, I am sharing with you an idea from Marius Hornberger: I have cut my cords at about 20cm from the tool and installed powercon connectors. Now I have a short (2 m) and a long (5m) electrical cords and easily disconnect/reconnect most of my corded tools (such as belt sander, circular saw, jig saw, router, reciprocating saw, pole tree pruner...)
Great work Jean. Compact and efficient design fir a small shop. The likes of Matthias Wandell and John Heiz have serious competition in you! I’ve got the same belt sander. Would you share your plans? I am obviously prepared to pay for them. Keep up the good work!
more complicated than I need, but very impressive, and functional. thanks for sharing.
If i could 'like' every video a thousand times and subscribe over and over again it wouldn't properly show how much I enjoy your videos and enginuity. Keep it up because it's an absolute inspiration and motivation to improve my own shop.
Absolutely Brilliant! Thank you.
Simply brilliant! Good stuff!
Best solution for belt sander I've ever seen. In the name of John Heisz, you are genious!
The whole thought process behind designing and building this is fantastic. Awesome project and great video
Brilliant design, I'm impressed.
Brilliant, best jig I have seen so far for this purpose. Especially the French cleet addition, and the ease of getting the sander in and out of the jig. 👍
Awesome job! I really like the french cleat feature.
Another great idea, explained and shown clearly, love your vids mate, given me ideas to keep me going in my garage workshop, stay safe and keep em coming, thanks for taking the time.
I love what you're doing with your shop, mine is about 3 times as large and I'm still taking a lot I see in your videos and trying to work it into my shop design since I need more space for shooting videos. Keep it up, I love your videos !!! Stay safe !!!
Really great how you maximise the use of every tool. Brilliant! Love your videos.
this is brilliant, i'm going to have to make a french cleat wall now.
The ultimate belt sander stand❗️❗️❗️ Great work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey man, just came across your channel, so rad to see local guys putting out this type of content. Looking forward to more of your vids!
Great idea I loved the vertical position and use on the french cleat wall this is my next project starting tomorrow
That is insane. What a spectacular design and execution.
Great design, you really have a knack for following through with your visions and making them a reality. Love your channel. Please keep it up.
That's just brilliant!
Your best until now!
Great space saving idea, excellent design. Thanks for sharing. Until next time *Chris*
really clever horizontal and vertical
You might just have the best workshop I’ve ever seen
This is so ingenious. Love this!! Thanks for sharing
very inventive and modular ! congrats
Thank you for the work, thoughts, ideas, designs, and effort! Well done, again THANK YOU.
You should put a power plug on it, so you can also add an emergency stop button.
Thanks for another great video. I enjoy your content always and think you are a very creative and talented designer.
I think this is one of my favourite projects so far. Genius how the fence fits in multiple configurations and admire the forward thinking in your build.
Thanks for sharing.
Stay safe!
Very clever design. Great job, and thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your video's.I'll give it a go .
Awesome build!!! Making one next week, thank you for sharing.
This was smart.
I was thinking of doing something like this with my Electric handplaner.
this was an impressive build great space saving idea
Amazing once again....
Every project so unique.
Obrigado from Portugal
Hanging the whole setup on the wall is a great idea. Thanks for sharing this excellent project, all the best
"because of lock down, we're limited on supplies here in the shop". Pulls out more hardware for this sander jig then I have in my whole shop 😂😂. Rock on brother, another awesome build!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm in awe! Great design and video.
👍👍 Very creative
Now I know why I bought a belt sander ☺️
Very well done .!.
I am consistently impressed with your solutions. Very clever design. Well done. Keep it up. Stay well.
Amazing! Exactly what i was looking for, thanks.
Wow! Very cool as I am currently using my handheld belt sander in a vice and wishing I had a fence. This is exactly what I was hoping to do myself.
This dude is unbelievable! Simply brilliant.
There are two tapped holes M6 on the right side of this machine. I used them to do something similar. :-) Thanks for the vid.
the hidden mittersaw is wonderful idea! Congratulations!
I love how you're like "ahhh this is something I didn't plan for"... this idea itself is incredible, I wouldn't be able to make a plan for what you did!
Very nice jig you made.
This would be a superb addition to any workshop. Brilliant. Great video mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Another top video man. This is a cool idea I’m deffo going to make one for my belt sander ! Looking forward to the next video thanks and stay safe
Awesome video, really making good use of a tiny shop.
Solid. Great build. Thanks much for sharing. Love this channel!
I just love this! I've been looking at many ways to enclose mine, but this is the best one I've seen. (I'm going to attempt to deconstruct the plan it for my own-wish me luck.--Unless you have plans you would sell.😉)Great job, as always.
This thing is awesome. ..so versatile
You never disappoint. Will copy this one
Really great design. Your ingenuity and engineering skills are very impressive. Well edited video, too!
Very well done, very useful in the upright position.
Great design well executed. The French cleat wall is very clever. Nice job. I am an old dog and welcome the new tricks.
Awesome!! I'm was thinking of a good way to turn my belt sander to benchtop sander and I might go with your idea. Thanks for sharing!!
I love your creativity! Great projects!
simply the best ! Amazing job !
I am glad I stumbled upon your videos. You are truly an engineering genius. I am using your ideas to plan an ultimately build my small shop. Thank you.
Such a great idea for anyone who has a small amount of space or money to be able to do any kind of sanding.
Well done it goes brilliantly with the French cleat wall.
So perfectly done.
Awesome, so versatile !
What a nifty, practical jig. Your skills are awesome…..
You are the king of the French cleat.
Awesome build
Besides your good imagination for successfully building a stand with french cleat for your portable sander, @15.54, electric switch board pops out in the middle of the workbench. A good innovative idea.. I like it.. Good luck. Take care.
that's absolutely genius😲...thx for the idea
Nice job. I like everything you've done to your woodshop. Keep up the good content!
Superb multifunction design. Thoroughly impressive, such innovation. Very inspiring...
Thank you for sharing this awesome tool-gadget-system for a belt sander. This is exactly what I need to have in my small workshop. Please keep making many more projects which are always inspiring to me.
At the beginning of the video I wondered where all your tools are... Then they all came out of the woodwork! Haha! Excellent work, and great job on that shop!
That's effin awesome. Nice job.
love it! and the french cleats!
You rock man! Today I’ve created my jig largely based on your idea. I happen to have the same belt sander 😎. I’ve only changed the locking mechanism as I don’t like to have to do the threading thing with my power cord. I had a little toggle clamp lying around, so I put it on a small block next to the handle and let it clamp on the handle. very stable and very easy to setup or remove. Thanks a lot though. People like you inspire me every day!
Great job. Just add a couple of spacer tables to utilize more of the belt. Keep well and stay safe.
Great job, now a very versatile tool, well done!
Another well put together video with yet another great idea well executed! 👍🏻Love your channel and loving your work, keep it up bro 👌🏻
I thought I was already subscribed, but now I am. Out of the bazillion videos on his subject, this one is up there. Nicely done. I like the French cleat idea for saving precious floor/bench space. I am currently building an oscillating spindle sander and found myself needing a vertical belt sander for sanding parts for the build. Ha! So I whipped one up. It's a good thing I love building machines!
Superb idea, and excellent planning.
that's a genius idea! well done.
Great idea! I really enjoy your videos. thanks for sharing.
Excellent build thanks
All I can say is brilliant!!!! I have a Harbor freight belt sander not being used now I can make this and start using it. I just finished adding French cleats to my garage wall, I’m going to save a spot just for the sander. Thank you for the video.
Awesome. Been thinking about something like this for a while. Now i am gonna build one. Thsnks
Me too 😁
I just put mine in a 3 inch hobby vice. The sander is held by the handle, and the position can be adjusted to different positions. I don't usually use a platform to work off , but this is an easy improvise.
I don't know why manufacturers do not make these jigs. They would be a welcomed accessory.
Well done ,good think .Keep going .I like your projects. Very practically.
I'm going to try and copy every detail, but I plan to add a dust port.
You do outstanding work.
You my friend are a genius I would love to have this shop set up
Another work of art mate. Well done.
Hi,
Again, a work of art, beautiful done.
Very versatile and your vertical placement is genius.
Keep it safe,
Willy from Belgium.
