BABY Drum Sander

My Grandpa had one of those

Oh seeing a picture brings back good memories.

I just noticed the picture that bmyers put up. As a kid I'd go to visit my grandfather and he had a drum sander almost exactly like that. It was a crude device and we found endless pleasure in adjusting it properly and shooting boards accross the shop with it. I never did find out if it was a tool worth inheriting as I never used it for it's intended purpose and am lucky I didn't loose any body parts over the experience but is was soo much fun.

OMG that's hilarious. Glad I could help you re-live those glory days of playing with stuff you shouldn't be playing. I got a laugh out of it too.

here is a REAL baby drum sander I found on the net..

I have that set up at home - I use it for walking sticks. the drum sticks out over the bench though.

Wow! I don't think I'd stand in the "line of fire" for that thing...

It's far less ominous than it looks. very easy to control whatever you are sanding
