FINALLY! Drum Sander Pics

This has been a major work in progress.  It is still not done, but it is a working prototype.  It does what I need for now.  I used cut disks of MDF and glued them together to make the drum.  I then turned it as true as I could. 

To lift the bed (creating the thickness) I have a large threaded rod and a bolt.  I don't like having only one point to raise and lower the bed, as it is not very stable, but I will find a way to fix that in the future.

If you have any thoughts/suggestions, please feel free to share them with me.
