    I built one from Matthias's plans and it was made so easy by how detailed they are.
    So much more rewarding that buying one. And I'm totally comfortable that if anything ever breaks, I can fix it.
    Two years on with regular use and I have only had to replace the same tensioning wooden spring that Matthias did in the video.
    It's a solid design.

    Even if you don't build this sander, this video is filled with extremely useful, practical tips that all beginning woodworkers should learn. For example "Use shorter smaller screws to temporarily hold the assembly together so the threads in the wood are not worn out" (then use the full sized screws for final assembly). Another is to install screws so they just protrude from the part they will fasten, then show the part to it's final position and gently tap to mark the drilling locations.

    damn bro, I'm a metalworking man myself, and I'm not afraid to admit that I look down on people making things out of wood that really shouldn't be made out of wood (stupid stuff like structural parts of projects that deal with considerable weights, or wood gears in any decently precise or fast target application). but this is actually pretty solid, and one thing I had never even considered was making the rollers out of wood (I've been considering making a belt sander for a bit now). Now that I have, I think I would have used just a regular block of wood maybe, so it wasn't this flimsy stuff and didn't go against the grain - no doubt would last a lot longer, but yours still seems like it'll last longer than you and I, so I guess not much point haha.
    Very impressive indeed. Thank you sir, and great video!

  • @A_Stereotypical_Heretic
    @A_Stereotypical_Heretic 2 года назад

    If you want to be able to clamp 45° brackets, mounts, triangle blocks etc to another piece of material for gluing purposes take a square piece of plywood, cut a 45 from one corner to about an inch from the opposite corner then a straight line down to the bottom edge from there. You should have a straight edge a little under an inch wide of the remaining wood running down the back side and a flat edge on the top. Lay the cutout on top of the piece you're wanting to secure flat edge facing up and away, put a horizontal clamp on the thin back edge facing away and then clamp down as you normally would. The thin edge, when clamped, keeps the piece from shifting backwards as you apply clamping force to the hypotenuse.
