Young Je, you are a breath of fresh RUclips air! I'm so sick of all of these so called 'woodworkers' with hundreds of thousands of viewers and shops full of expensive machinery(mostly given to them by advertisers) doing the same videos. Sometimes they even get together to make videos! UGH!! These guys have nothing on you my friend! Keep up the wonderful work.
Very good comment. I started watching all these folks several years ago because of the DIY aspect of it all and because that made it inexpensive for common people. Neither applies when you have a $5K CNC machine, a lathe, a SawStop table saw (of course) and hundreds of sheets of $75 plywood to use. My new year's resolution was to clean up my Subscriptions and do away with most of those people. Not all of them....but most. This gives me room to add YOUR channel and see what you have to offer. As said above....please stay "simple"
I completely agree here. I watch quite a few videos just because of the DIY perspective and quite a few of the DIY videos suck because they are using tools that us "average" people don't have let alone can afford to buy. Most of those videos seem like a slap in the face as they use their well equipped shops to build tools that they already own. I watch DIY videos so I have an alternative to actually buying the tool. If I had the expensive tools that they use I wouldn't be watching videos to build a different version of the tool
I am impressed by all of your videos. The fact that you are actually making and do things and do not apologise for or justify what you do or how you do it, is fantastic!! Great job Young Je!
.......applaud applaud applaud....your approach to design and use of materials is as unique as the beautiful hand planes you make. Look forward to the belt sander coming together. Keep up the great work.
Brilliant! I like your way of thinking outside the box. Some people can't afford the luxury of expensive aluminum grinding wheels, as nice as that would be. Sometimes we have to adapt and improvise to reach our end goal. Well done!
I want to thank you for an excellent video and process. However, I want to thank you mostly for sharing. I was thinking of using a cover to my wooden wheels and I thought of PVC. Well the rest is history. You have perfected an excellent process. Thank you again for sharing and I wish you much success in your business. Thanks again for helping this guitar repairman who needs a 6in belt sander that won't cost an arm and a leg.....
I like your no-nonsense approach to woodworking. I am amazed at the quality and amount of videos you make. I am inspired to make the belt grinder. Thank you!😃
Awesome thanks. I was planning on doing the same thing seeing how I have a ton of pvc lying around. I tried doing this with just wood and a holesaw but I could never get it just right. I'm still concerned about how pvc will work but I'm gonna give it a try
Great idea, saves loads on buying premade. Ive put my belt grinder project on hold because of the cost and availability of thd guide wheels, time to start working on it again. Cheers matey!. All the best.
So there was alot of good stuff here. Nice insights into building. Very nice handmade lathe, I will have to check that out. But I really liked your shop made square, so useful for finding center. Thanks for sharing.
Who else puckered up when he was running the hole saw in the drill press. Then using gloves, then using it as an arbor press! But I got to hand it to him (while he still has them) he got it done. Whew....
@@YoungJe I wonder if it would work, if you were to make the wheels a little wider than the belt and then put a slight groove about the width if the belt down the middle.
Very interesting. A few questions... I am curious as to how the wheels hold up. How often do you use the belt grinder and under what load? How are the wheels holding up 2 plus years later? Thank you for the video and the concept.
Excelente trabajo te felicito desde Uruguay y te quería consultar utilizas nylon industrial y que tipo de madera y x ultimo con que pegamento pegas el nylon a la madera ? Gracias
When you work with a crown, you always drill a couple of openings for the emission of sawdust from the outside of the cut, then there will be no smoke and the tool will not overheat and will last longer.
I am starting a build on a DIY 2x72 sander.. scratching my head on how the heck I could afford billet aluminum for the wheels( and get them made) .. thank you so much..
Love your videos! When possible you are using a hole saw, position the saw so that one edge of the blade exits the wood. This allows chip evacuation. You get faster, cleaner cuts and the blade doesn't heat as much.
Really nice, I liked a lot how you make it. Looking forward to see the full build! BTW, I had only watched one of your videos, the center finder. Now I subscribed. :)
I built my self a variable belt length sander (from 30 to 72") and used a 4" nylon wheel used on trolleys for the drive wheel. Have had no problem with heat. Nylon is softer than PVC, so your PVC wheels will work 100%. You can mount your drive wheel to the motor and crown it with a chisel while the motor is running using a clamped down block of wood as a chisel rest.
seen alot of belt grinder builds that only use wood or MDF, not saying its a bad material just REALLY worried it could fly apart. However i do REALLY like this idea. Using MDF (i think correct me if im wrong) combined with PVC makes a pretty strong roller. I LIKE IT!
You really know what you are doing extremely talented we enjoy we would appreciate if you talk about all that you are doing even if it is in a different language because we can always have the words come up on our screen of our television thumbs up my friend we appreciate you
I read in other video comments that these wheels get hot . That's the reason to don't use PVC or other material that don't resist to heat. Is that true? How hot theses wheels can get? Thanks
You better make a ground wire to run to frame or something. I made some rollers like that and the static electricity would just about knock you down after a little grinding.
Amazing and really beautiful craftsmanship! Do you have the plans and materials list? Can't really do anything without those major items....Thanks for all your posts and all you do.,..
Nice work. You made these about 8 months ago. How have they been holding up? I'm curious how they've been with heat build up. Of course, I saw this after I bought the aluminum wheels. Ha.
John Heisz, in his videos on his wood 2x72 grinder design, tested whether the tracking/idler wheels needed to be crowned, and concluded that they worked fine without crowning. Not only that, he concluded that crowned wheels actually tended to *stretch* the belt, resulting in slack and tracking to one side. He's probably pretty precise with his build, so that may help compensate -- *I'd* tend to agree with you, and put at least a tiny bit of crown on the wheels, but his results were interesting to think about.
Nice work.Good installation of bearings will make it run very smooth. At 5:13 you said there was a nail. How could a nail get in there if you glued the 3 pieces together yourself?
Interesting concept, but a bit overkill. I doubt you could exert enough force on one of these whilst sanding, enough to warrant using full MDF (assuming it's MDF) all the way through. I think it would be simpler and less time consuming to do them with two pieces of thinner MDF (or perhaps HDF, because that thing is nigh indestructible) to hold the outer plastic sheath. All would be held together with nuts and washers where the bearings would be inset from the face of the barrel (which would also keep them out of harms way, even shielded bearings can get crud ingress). But that's just my two cents on it. Either way, using a PVC pipe as the contact surface is a brilliant idea, across the range of pipe sizes (with some even in custom dimensions obtainable as samples) you could make a small "farm" of these to suit a lot of purposes. Heck, i can already see a sander using an industrial PVC drainage pipe as outer sheath. Of course...that would require a more umphier motor :)
Can make a vid about how to sharpen planer blades. I know there are thousands of vids out there. But to me it seem like your planers are enormusly sharp. Do you use jigs to keep the angle coorect at al times? If yes, are the DIY?

thank you so much~
What a wonderful guy.. such an inspiration and everything he produces is so nicely finished
I like your no-nonsense approach to woodworking. If you don't have a tool, you make it. Your videos are excellent! Don't stop being you!
Good Gravy you have no Idea how happy your video just made me. Thank you so much.
Awesome job; clever use of existing materials and just what I was looking for.
thank you~
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Você e 10,muito bom e obrigado por compartilhar seus videos com a gente.ABRAÇOS!
Thanks for sharing! I look forward to the rest of this.

Fantastic video. Other people’s knowledge and skills amaze me! Nice job!
Brilliant idea Mr. Young, MDF with PVC Cover. It realy is a pleasure to see you working. You are growing to be a second Mathias Wandel.

Thanks for the comment,
A great technique for accurately making durable and identical wheels.
Thanks for sharing!
thank you~
Beautiful work :-)
I'd recommend sourcing some rs (sealed) bearings though... Shielded bearings don't prevent particulate ingress very well.
I like this idea, I think I'll try doing this. does it track well. I really like this. simple , thanks for posting!
thanks~
Neat idea using pvc pipe! Never would of thought of that but I think I will have to try that when I make my grinder
Работа специалиста. Сказать не чего!!! Класс!!! Спасибо. Было приятно смотреть.
Отличная работа, а за идею отдельный плюс !!!!
Man... when I switch from metalworking to woodworking the difference is horrifying.
That's the best idea I've seen yet to make sander wheels on the cheap.
Thanks, that's a brilliant idea. I'm looking forward to replicate it in this way. Keep up the good work and thank you for your good ideas. :)
Safe yourself the effort it won't work the belt will slip of see my comments
Wow that's really good! I'm going try to do it!
this is just a brilliant idea thank you so much (instant sub)
Who else puckered up when he was running the hole saw in the drill press. Then using gloves, then using it as an arbor press! But I got to hand it to him (while he still has them) he got it done. Whew....
AWESOME BUILD
Good job! I'd like to see how you're going to crown the tracking wheel.
I'm thinking of using a hinge.
It's not decided.
I have to think a bit more during the production process,
@@YoungJe I wonder if it would work, if you were to make the wheels a little wider than the belt and then put a slight groove about the width if the belt down the middle.

How is the PVC holding on belt grinder, I know it softens at fairly low temperature, nice job, gives me new ideas
완성작 기대됩니다 :)
철수분들은 이 공구가 필수같던데 목공용으로도 좋을듯해요.
철수용으로 만들고 싶은데,,,,
용접기가 없어요~ㅋ
감사합니다~
Very well done
THANK YOU SO SO VERY MUCH YOU SOLVE A ONE BIG PROBLEM I WAS GOING THROUGH...... HAVE A BLESSED DAY SIR
Very well done indeed!
Heating the pvc tube a little will assist in the press fit.
Love your work.

Really nice, I liked a lot how you make it. Looking forward to see the full build! BTW, I had only watched one of your videos, the center finder. Now I subscribed. :)

Great idea. Wonder how it will hold up to heat as PVC has a low melting point.
I also wonder,
thank you,

Nylon is softer than PVC, so your PVC wheels will work 100%. You can mount your drive wheel to the motor and crown it with a chisel while the motor is running using a clamped down block of wood as a chisel rest.
It's not the hardness, it's the melting temp. PVC 350, Nylon 500. Big difference. Nylon - superior
exactly
should hold up fine as theres no friction on the small wheels .theyre all spinning on bearings
Such a craftsman. Excellent
thank you,
great project
thank you~
Nicely built. Have you by any chance checked them for run out? I only ask because I know PVC piping isn't always round. Just wondering.
Very smart, great job!
thanks~
Gracias por su video más que excelente saludos cordiales desde Chaco Argentina
Very nice job! What white material did you slide on the wood rollers?
seen alot of belt grinder builds that only use wood or MDF, not saying its a bad material just REALLY worried it could fly apart.
However i do REALLY like this idea. Using MDF (i think correct me if im wrong) combined with PVC makes a pretty strong roller.

Mui bien like por el video.. Pregunta .. Que uso le podemos dar a las rueditas?
How do you lube the bearings? Please let me know.
You better make a ground wire to run to frame or something. I made some rollers like that and the static electricity would just about knock you down after a little grinding.
Amazing and really beautiful craftsmanship! Do you have the plans and materials list?
Can't really do anything without those major items....Thanks for all your posts and all you do.,..
Very nicely done!
thank you~
Nicely done.
Excelente!
Excellent experience well done
What is this material inside the plastic?
MDF
Is there any advantage to crown the pulleys a little bit?
There is a crown on the drive wheel and the tracking wheel,
Muito bom. Eu estou precisando de umas roldanas dessas na medida de 1/4, como fazer ?
Nice job dude great idea 😁😁🤘🤘

Красивая работа , хорошее решение
Hola amigo buen trabajo .de que medida son los baleros y los tornillos . saludos desde México
Very good congrats
On your wheels that you pressed into pvc was that just a pressed fit without and adhesive? Does it hold up pretty well? Again thanks for your time
Adhesive is not needed by tightly fitting
Спасибо за видео! С удовольствием посмотрел! Палец вверх!!! )))
Great job thnk u good luck
Nice work.Good installation of bearings will make it run very smooth. At 5:13 you said there was a nail. How could a nail get in there if you glued the 3 pieces together yourself?
MRrwmac go back and look at the four corners before he cut them he put a brad nail on each corner to hold them while glueing together.
Thanks for sharing !
Good job my bro. Success
Hi Young , Did you design this yourself ? or did you get plans for it ?/ If so where can I get or download the plans Thank you,
Very excellent work how much this work sells
Is the wood MDF?

Yes, I use the jig I made,
25 degrees, 30 degrees, 35 degrees to maintain the same angle at all times,
If you look at the video in detail,
what do you use these for? Can you post a picture of them in use?
Its on the title.... Belt sander would be one thing, other being some kind of cart on rails, or similar construction...
This is the first step,
Nothing has been produced yet,
Young Je I watched the entire video. Really anticipated you showing your wheels in use.
Супер идея👍👍!!
