    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    I've watched a few different jig ideas. I like this the best. Well done.
    The French cleat wall hanger is great and just a good way to store the sander.

  • @AwardOnlyDK
    @AwardOnlyDK 4 роки тому +12

    Amazing build - as always :)
    My first thought in regards to the vertical/horizontal function would be to have them both accessible with french cleats.
    Cutting out a section of the vertical cleat and running another one horizintally would allow you to simply 'flip' the setup on the wall.
    Cheers

    About corded tools and the issue you had with cord, I am sharing with you an idea from Marius Hornberger: I have cut my cords at about 20cm from the tool and installed powercon connectors. Now I have a short (2 m) and a long (5m) electrical cords and easily disconnect/reconnect most of my corded tools (such as belt sander, circular saw, jig saw, router, reciprocating saw, pole tree pruner...)

    You rock man! Today I’ve created my jig largely based on your idea. I happen to have the same belt sander 😎. I’ve only changed the locking mechanism as I don’t like to have to do the threading thing with my power cord. I had a little toggle clamp lying around, so I put it on a small block next to the handle and let it clamp on the handle. very stable and very easy to setup or remove. Thanks a lot though. People like you inspire me every day!

  • @silknfeathers
    @silknfeathers 4 роки тому +13

    Nice. Perhaps make the fence curve around at the end, to make use of the curve section of the belt? This way it can be used on internal curves when in the horizontal position. Shouldn't interfere with the use in the vertical position.

  • @sacrajah
    @sacrajah 4 роки тому +1

    Besides your good imagination for successfully building a stand with french cleat for your portable sander, @15.54, electric switch board pops out in the middle of the workbench. A good innovative idea.. I like it.. Good luck. Take care.

  • @paulcampbell6316
    @paulcampbell6316 Рік тому

    I just put mine in a 3 inch hobby vice. The sander is held by the handle, and the position can be adjusted to different positions. I don't usually use a platform to work off , but this is an easy improvise.
    I don't know why manufacturers do not make these jigs. They would be a welcomed accessory.

    I would have made the latch swivel 90° from how it now functions. That way you can put the beltsander in the holder and then put the latch over it without having to worry about the cable.
    Nice work and a very handy extention of the tool.

    I thought I was already subscribed, but now I am. Out of the bazillion videos on his subject, this one is up there. Nicely done. I like the French cleat idea for saving precious floor/bench space. I am currently building an oscillating spindle sander and found myself needing a vertical belt sander for sanding parts for the build. Ha! So I whipped one up. It's a good thing I love building machines!

  • @michaellathrop6285
    @michaellathrop6285 3 роки тому

    You could run French cleats on the long side as well and I would hang horizontal or vertical, although the that would have to be done initially because the top clear and bottom support would need to be notched out to allow for horizontal mounting.
