Best DIY Drum Sander on YouTube!

Please do me a favor and hit the SUBSCRIBE button!
About 7 years ago I was looking for a way to outfit my shop with tools that would help improve my work. At the time I was, well, financially challenged. I decided I would try my hand at building my own power equipment. The challenge: build a functioning 25" wide drum sander! Ideally, I wanted to finish the build within a couple months, but it ultimately took me the better part of 2 years! This was due to several moves and life changed at the time (all good changes, BTW :)). I did not always have a shop that gave me the space I needed, and financially I was strapped most of the time from continuing the project.
If I were to build it fresh from start to finish it may take a couple weeks to make the whole thing today, assuming I had all the parts on hand.
What do you think? Does it work? Please leave your comments below!
Here is a list of some of the suppliers I used to get the parts needed to build the machine:
