makeshift bench sander

BruceT999 | Posted in Construction Techniques on

I found that my belt sander, a porch rail and bar clamp made a dandy bench sander.

    I have a wooden frame with a  "U" shaped bottom and vent holes in the side that just holds my inverted belt sander. Been using it for about 20 years. Sure is handy.

    If you have a problem, don't just talk do something to set it right.

      I don't own a bosch, but it is similar to something I owned years ago. Doesn't it have a couple of tapped holes in the top surface so you can bolt it down to a board?
