Oh, yeah. My next project. This video is a kind of template of how to make a video! I wish more CZcams woodworker who post long-winded Pfaff would see this and have a lightbulb moment. Very well done, GreenSaw.

[@XxCanjaxX]

You are unbelievable. I´m build my own workshop and with your video i can add another great machine. Big thanks for your work!!!

[@GreenSaw]

Thank you for your nice comment. Good luck with your new workshop.

[@bunnywarren]

Couple of suggestions. Firstly, leave a slight gap between the wrappings around the drum to avoid them riding over each other and creating a bump. Secondly, when sanding a board that has a cup, put the cup-side down to avoid it rocking as you put it through. This makes it quicker to get a level face and reduces the number of passes needed. Great build though.

Excellent build. I like simplicity and yours is very simple to build. I appreciate all the tools and equipment you have made for yourself. In today's world, there are not many who know how to do it themselves. We need more trade schools.

Excellent build

[@josepaulino9702]

I really liked this project. Very well prepared and explained in detail. I thank you for sharing video and PDF, because I know that many would like to do work even if as a hobby, but for different reasons, they cannot purchase such equipment, but with this project, they can produce it and start developing their own works. May God bless you for your generosity, with many achievements in your work. Hugs.

Excellent for miniature projects. Sorts of load conveyer is better added. 👍👍👍👍

[@gregoryhalye8907]

Additional advice... during the process of making your cylinder true, an easy way to finish the process is to take a good known piece of flat stock and apply a sheet of rough grit sandpaper to it. Hold it against the bottom plate and repeatedly run it from side to side as you tighten your tolerances up.
Another nice feature you could add would be to swap out your cylinder system for one that uses replaceable drums. This way, you just need one set of bearings and you can swap out the drum that is installed on the bearings easily. This would allow you to make spare drums to swap out at will, keeping an extra of your most often used grit on hand along with fine grits for when you want to have a more finely finished surface.

[@GreenSaw]

Thank you for your advice.

что скажешь-умно,бюджетно и просто -но свои функции выполняет-молодец! кстати глядя на это всё подумал если снизу на столик поставить пружину попутно будет ещё круче,так как пружина будет поджимать столик к барабану с определённым усилием ,просто рацуха попутно

[@user-fc7te9sz7d]

[@FuzzyScaredyCat]

Wouldn't using a hole saw in your pillar drill have made making the round parts much simpler (and smoother)?

[@southern04man]

You beat me to it. Exactly what i was gonna say.

[@Mortern]

you will have a better looking circles, but you will not avoid rounding the drum 11:23

[@maker202]

MDF with drill is not easy to cut but can still be done

[@EricRoy85]

Maybe he didn't have a hole saw that size? Never know

[@GreenSaw]

It is possible to cut the circle in many ways. That's what I did this time. Mortern & maker202 are right ..

[@frankgreen7417]

Bonjour,

[@GreenSaw]

Bonjour,
Je suis content que ça te plaise. S'il vous plaît suivre.

[@teoperun]

Dear friend, I did not understand something. At 5:58 (and 6:28 - 6:34), your rolling bearings are tucked into the wooden sides and protected with three screws each. Now comes the surprise: at 6:57 (and 7:12 - 17:46) your rolling bearings are threaded on both ends of the shaft. What is true: first or second?

[@GreenSaw]

Thank you for the good question. You're right, there's a contradiction. First I thought of applying the first method, but then I gave up. Please forgive me for this. The second method is correct.
Congratulations on your attention. :)
Best Regards.

[@teoperun]

@@GreenSaw It is okay. Your build is very nice. I'll try it too. Thanks for the idea. Greetings from Serbia.

[@randsipe224]

Best CZcams music.

[@generalzugs6017]

It's alright build on a budget, but for small pieces like shown it seems faster with a sharp hand plane to me and less dust.

[@gregoryhalye8907]

A good sharp hand plane may do the trick for those pieces shown, but what would you do for such small pieces that happen to be wood burl or gnarled and knotted wood? A hand plane will likely chip bits of wood fiber out with every pass, no matter how sharp you make that blade or which direction you approach the work from. The surfacing drum sander is a feasible way to approach this issue and achieve acceptable results with a minimum of time and effort invested.

[@johnt.chambers4204]

@@gregoryhalye8907 There is a time and place for a planer and a time and place for a sander. I see General Zugs' point, but every tool has its purpose. I do as much metal work as wood work and I have found that in most applications for metal a drum sander is as good as a surface grinder unless you need a precision grind. I always enjoy homemade tools.

[@AndreiIR000]

This sander can smooth other materials than wood too! Metal, plastic etc.

[@jc_hz4196]

I am going to agree with you , he should have made it for a bigger piece. You bring a very important of the dust, I couldn’t agree more.Good point.

[@FugenF]

Пропущен момент, каким образом извлекается барабан для крепления наждачки. Неужели раму частично разбирать? Так там же некоторые узлы на клей посажены.
Посадка подшипника на подмотку из проволоки и эпоксидку совсем не внушает. Биение на валу невооружённым взглядом заметно. После оцилиндровки барабана жуткий дисбаланс должен получится. Удивлён, что только шкив на валу болтается, но это биение компенсируется упругостью ремня. Сам барабан ровненько крутится, станок не скачет по столу. Повезло, наверное. :)
А так, вполне годная конструкция. Дословно копировать не буду, но исполнение некоторых узлов возьму себе на заметку.
Видео это плюсанул. В закладки себе сохранил. Сейчас пойду посмотрю другие видосики Автора. Если такие же интересные, пожалуй даже подпишусь. )))

[@kentavr68]

крепление барабана - самый непродуманный момент этой конструкции. Каждая смена наждачки - растягивание опор в разные стороны, чтобы его вытащить. Можно, конечно ее по месту менять, но как-то не камильфо, на мой вкус.
