Originally built as a poor man's drum sander this sander has changed the way woodworkers surface sand. The V-Drum Sander can be built using the plan we include or use your own creativity and build a sander for your own unique purpose. If you are lacking time (or creativity!) buy a Flatmaster - it's already assembled.
