Bottled the stout last week and made a batch of pale ale this weekend.

I needed a drum sander to sand a bunch of brackets I made. So I got out my two hole saws and cut up some maple scraps. Glued them together. Put a bolt through them. Chucked them in the drill press to sand them smooth. Cut a slot for sandpaper held by a nail, and then viola.

Dude. That's cool. I got my junk at Harbor, but it works sometimes. I only need a drum sander sometimes .

Well done, the nail hole to anchor the abrasive is a clever detail.

I agree but i would be worry about the balance ,, ,
think about using a dowel ,
it would be lighter and do the same thing ,
plus it would hurt less if it flew out ,
just my 2 centovious

Dowel is a good idea. The first piece of sand paper tore fairly quickly because I had it spinning pretty fast. I used a shorter piece of sandpaper the second time to save paper, and put the nail in from the bottom side of drum where it can't fly out because the bottom of the drum is surrounded by the sacrificial table top. But a dowel is still a good idea to cut down on vibrations with it slightly out of balance.

Smart move.

I installed two nucs in our beehives yesterday before our dash to greater Philly and back, so tired.

Off topic Dropkick Murphy, Volbeat, and for that matter Jason Bonham's zep tribute were all terrific.

Try a flat bar of aluminum. If the hole is slightly eccentric, the bar will grab the paper as you turn it a 1/2 turn and pull the paper tight. If you want to get really tiny with it, you can cut a section of cheap camping pad, (the kind with the weave pattern, not egg crate) and contact cement it to the sander.

Impressive job, btw.

I made up the table that Limey manhandled all the way from Arran to Leeds for me, and then either Limey or Dani carried up two flights of stairs for me.

Looks great.
Am thinking of covering it with a Hello Kitty tablecloth. Just because I have one and no other table to put it on.

I also made Diz a cabriolet cat bed from a cardboard box. Cut a hole in the front, folded the flaps down inside because I put it in a place where the sun shines in the afternoon.
But get this, the flaps are still there so I can cover the box over and put it in front of a heater at some point in the future.
A craftswoman for all seasons, me.

I was too tired to post this earlier. I did two nuc installations before taking Little Griff to the shows. Here are some pics of the first and my first install. I was working alone so the shots are only as steps ended. The first nuc was really active with a lot of bees and excess comb all over it. The supplier sent 4 frame instead of 5 frame nucs. The spacers that took place of the fifth frame are those black rectangles.

The second went much more smoothly. Hey I didn't get stung! Beekeeping smells are wonderful between the smoker, the wax, and the honey.
