ideas about your drum sander

1 -- I share your love of old tools. I have several tools from my Dad that I treasure.

2 -- The last time I cut threads (on purpose, with a tap and die set, not with a crossthreaded nut, not specifying which is the nut) was in shop class in seventh grade. I'd made a little hammer out of 1/2" square bar stock and some steel rod. I ... I wonder where that tool is.. It might be around here somewhere, now it's in my mind (like I need something else to rattle around in there, distracting me).

3 -- an idea to correct the imperfect grip your chuck had on the threaded rod: thread some nuts (at least two) onto the rod and lock them together, then use those flat sides to give the jaws of the chuck something solid to grip onto.

4 -- for the nail as the sandpaper wedge/imbalance issue: Why not add a second hole 180 deg opposite and add a counterbalancing nail?

5 -- I love your work glatt.
