Attached is a photo taken from an ad for a sander called the v-drum. A kit for it is available from a Canadian company called Stockroom Supply. The cost of the components for an 18" sander (not including the wood) is about $130 Canadian (or about $100 US).
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has put together the kit. I would like to know both about the ease of construction and about the subsequent use of the sander.
The ad I claimed that sander this had been reviewed in the May 2003 issue of American Woodworker magazine. I tried the American Woodworker web site in an attempt to either see online or to order a back issue, but could not find a way to do so. So, I have a related question. How can I order this back issue of American Woodworker?
