DIY Drill Powered Drum Sander Jig

I came up with the idea for this drill powered DIY drum sander jig about halfway through my last project that required me to thickness some already very thin wood veneer bookmarks down even further as the random orbital sander would be too aggressive for the fragile pieces and too slow to take them down to where I wanted them. It was designed on the fly with nothing more than good intentions of using my existing router sled as the base, a piece of PVC pipe for the drum, normal sandpaper, and whatever I had lying around the workshop.
I couldn't believe it actually worked but is still more of a prototype than a completed tool. I can see version 2.0 of this with a solid axle, real bearings, proper drum paper and a static drum with an adjustable bed to improve the accuracy. However, for what it is, I was darn chuffed it got the job done!
