I had a lot of help with this sander. A friend of mine built the business end of it from bits and pieces he had laying around his shop. After he sent it to me--he's in Tenn. I live in Missouri-- I mounted it on a simple wooden base,added a motor an pulleys from a cheap drill press I no longer use. Just got it running today. Still have a few odds and ends to finish up. Mounted it like this so I could move it easily if needed. Have a short video of it in operation here- http://www.flickr.com/photos/fastredx/sets/72157626480526363/ scroll to bottom of page.
