John Heisz Thank you very much John for the kind words. Much appreciated. I feel it came out ok, but from a design point of view the dust collector is kinda bulky. but it needed to be ridgid to support the top spindle sander table. Well, performance is more important than looks, but it doesnt hurt:)
I must have watched this video 10 times already, if not more, and it keeps getting better and better every time as I pick up more wonderful ideas... I hope to copy this build one day soon as this is by far the best best sander I have seen; including one's for purchase too... Up keep, adjustment, and reasonably priced plus one comes away with the satisfaction of doing it themselves... Thanks for sharing...
I caught myself watching this video for the fourth time right now .. This is without doubt the best DIY machine video I have seen !! and I have seen MANY .. Hope to see more videos from you in the future! Thank you very much!
+Esben Kerndrup Thanks Esben for that generous comment, it ismuch appreciated.Hopefully I willbe able to put out more content in 2016,but timewillshow.thanks for watching and commenting Sir
Great build and the oscillating part was amazing never seen it approached like that! If your not going to do plans(I know they are hard to do) then maybe another video or two showing more of parts of the build with pictures imbedded? Thanks for sharing, subbed your channel!!!
Hi Bellevue Workshop, I am blown away with your edgesander and the enigmatic video. I have watched the video ten times and still dont appreciate just how to build it. I have the rollers for the drums and the bearings are on the way to me. I have the circle cutter and can now cut the wood circles for the drum ends. I am still pondering a replacement for the windscreen wiper motor. I have set up to buy a used electric bench grinder on ebay for the main motor. It did take quite a time to understand the belt release mechanism. Well done Colin Farrier Northern ireland
colin farrier Thank you very much for the kind comments Colin, it is much appreciated. Sounds like you are well on your way to building yourself one. I am not 100% sure of how the design of a power window motor for a car is, but that might be an option. I was contacted by a viewer from Germany who built the same sander just based on the vide and a few still shots. He also added some extra and really nice features to it. You can see it over at my website:bellevuewoodshop.com/bjorns-edgesander-2/
Absolutely amazing your sander !!! Do you have plans about that sander ? I mean, drawings, measures and other informations ? I really want to make one.
ThisWoodwork Thank you Alex for the kind comment. I really like your channel, and especially the bandsaw build you did back in your even younger days:) Keep up the good work
I've watched several times and never get tired. Not only of the sander but it may sound blas'e to many but it's an American feeling for me. Thank you for being creative and taking the time to share !
***** Thank you Fernando. You have to change the settings in your youtube account for people to be able to reply to your comments. I am sorry, unfortunately I have no available plans for this one, but you can check out my website for my other plans. www.bellevuewoodshop.com
You are truly an amazingly talented individual. I have watched all your videos and can't tell you how impressive your projects and your shop is. Please, please, keep the videos coming.
415orazio Thank you very much for that generous comment, it is much appreciated. I am glad you like the content, and I plan to put out more......just need some more available hours in the day:)
What a great design, love the use of the adjustable shelves. Your design allows for multiple uses and still yet is capable of added upgrades and adjustments as the need arises.
It is amazing to work that you have done. Hope you will make more videos with such a display with a drawing of the plan, then you are a master that many like you. thank you so much for that job.
Thanks for the kind feedback. Unfortunately there are no plans available for this build, but please check out my website for my other plans: www.bellevuewoodshop.com
Great video! As a wood worker, I really enjoyed the idea / concept of the homemade, not several hundred $ model fantastic. As a teacher of teachers / lecturers / podium instructors your limited explanations really made watching and learning a pleasure.
this is a great build video and awesome sander you built. I realize that you don't have any plans available for this, but people would buy these plans...for such a useful tool.... great work.... i would but them!
+Clintonio B Thank you Clintonio. The problem is that is built with salvaged parts, and I would have to search the net for readily available parts, buy them and build the sander to fit, to make sure it works. Also I think it would get to expensive , unless you have access to good priced parts. I was lucky to salvage all the parts for mine, so it did not cost me a dime.. But thanks for the kind words, and for yuor interest
***** Thank you Tyler. I think it would also work with a regular small geared motor and an adjustable offset wheel.. I cant seem to find your earlier comment on the use of clamps. They work very well, but the shortest one beeing 1000mm long the get a little bulky for these kind of projects. I have used the in some panel glueups, and are happy with them. I would not go for a smaller motor than 1hp, rather go with a 1,5 or better 2 hp
awesome design, not too complicated and I might give this ago myself instead of buying a beltsander this works even better I imagine. Thanks for sharing
Man, that is just an awesome build !! You have motivated me !! Also, no intention to insult you, but I couldn't help but hear Christopher Walken as the narrator. You're just great !!
Thanks Tom, Glad you found it useful. No offence taken. Have had a fewChristopher Walken comparisons comments on youtube before, I have no problem with that:)
Wow, I'm seriously impressed. I really wanna make one of these for myself, maybe with and adjustable fence for sanding end grain and mitres. Outstanding design.
Tayler Made Thank you Sir for the kind commenst, much appreciated, and I agree, homemade may not be the best tools, but using something one crafted themselves is satisfying
Wow! I’m in awe of your skills and craftsmanship. I’ve just started in woodworking...a new hobby that has quickly filled my previously unused workshop addition, on my garage, with power tools lol. I don’t have a handy guy around...if I want something made, I have to do it myself. I nowhere near have the skills to make this sander but I’d buy one from you lol! I’d love a pink one to match the rest of my tools. I know I know....women lol ;)
That wiper motor idea is just pure genius. Wanted to build one myself forsome time, but never got around the oscillating mechanism, without employing too much machining and paying for it, of course.
I feel like the oscillation is unnecessary. Couldn't you just have a bed the is at an angle to the belt so you can use all parts of the belt? Essentially a ramp rather than a level platform? Left end of the platform at the bottom of the belt...right end at the top part. Move the workpiece and you're at a different part of the belt but still able to use the platform as a reference surface? Just a thought.
My friend, I am truly impressed with this great design and build. It's quite magnificent. Just came upon your channel by accident, but you can bet it will be subscribed. Thanks for the video and the inspiration.
i will just echo everyone else and say that this thing is amazing. i had a smile on my face the entire video wishing i had all the motors and bearings and other bits/bobs to make this. again, well done sir!
Hi Roy Could you please give me an indication of theMotor size as I’ve got 2 x 1/2horse power motors and was hoping that one of these would suffice. Regards
wow very nice, i would've bought some metal poulie's since wooden ones might wear out fast, and how about a automatic tensioner just like a serpentine belt of a vehicle?
I love your edge sander you should have plans available and yes I checked out your website but there is no plans oh and don't forget the oscillating part because I sooooo want to build it exactly like your

Way cool

Hello, as you can see in detail, the clamping mechanism of sandpaper?
+Bellevue Woodshop спасибо с России за ролик очень поучительно и классно все придумано

Bummer. Just checked out your website before reading the comments looking for plans for this.
I liked the way you made those rollers, very clever using pipe rather than cutting a bunch of round bits and gluing them together.

Oh, and how did you come up with that great way of oscillation?
+Mark Hood Thank you VERY much for that generous comment. I really appreciate it Mark. Glad you liked it
+Bellevue Woodshop Its not my idea. The Commercial JET edgesanders also has it, so I just copied it
