Turn your Drill Press into a Lathe - a small diagram from http://home.mindspring.com/~adhamilton/

This is a simple diagram of how  usea 1/4" shank router and my drill press as a "power lathe". With this setup,  make control knobs, strap knobs and other cylindrical objects. Better watch out though - this thing is as addicting as air. You'll be turning something on it all the time.

Eugene L. Larson Shop Note: Constructing and Operating a Thickness Sander for Ship Model Builders

Shop Note: Constructing and Operating a Thickness Sander for Ship Model Builders:

from: Eugene L. Larson
   I first learned of the practicality of the Thickness Sander concept from Kent Wade of the Hampton Roads Ship Model Society. He provided a demonstration of his unit during the annual, two-day workshop in 1981 when the Tri-Societies (Washington, Richmond and Hampton Roads) met at Windmill Point, Virginia to "let the wood chips fly". Two of us in the Washington Ship Model Society were so impressed with the sander's simplicity and performance that we built our own. I constructed mine as an attachment to my Shopsmith multi-purpose tool, utilizing the lathe feature to turn the sanding drum, whereas Ken Dorr constructed his as a stand-alone unit. The performance of both sanders was outstanding, but the inconvenience of set-up and tear-down on the Shopsmith drove me to build the self-contained unit described in this paper. I used my memory, the photos of Kent Wade's sander at the workshop, reference to the Ship Modeler's Shop Notes of the Nautical Research Guild, and ideas from the sander Ken Dorr built to construct this Thickness Sander.

Snailworks Sander Build Log

Snailworks Sander Build Log: Fig. 3

Above shows the major parts of the drive shaft - the 24 inch PVC 3 inch diameter pipe on the left, the 3/4 inch drive shaft, the three mdf wheels cut out in Figure 1, a 2.5 inch pulley to fit the shaft, and two pillow blocks with 3/4 inch bearings in them. The shaft, bearings, and pulleys I got from a farm supply store. Since I was using inexpensive steel rod, instead of precision drill rod, I found that the shaft ends needed to be turned down a hair to get them into the bearings. The 3/8 torque rods are in place, but not epoxied yet.

Sanding Frames for Belt Sanders - Fine Homebuilding Article

These add-on accessories keep sanders flat to prevent ugly gouges
by Michael Standish

Belt sanders are hard to beat for removing lots of wood in a hurry, but the flip side is that they can also ruin a work piece in the proverbial blink of an eye. The introduction of variable speed controls—now a fairly common feature—help tame even the most powerful of these beasts, but several manufacturers including DeWalt, Bosch and Makita offer auxiliary sanding frames that can keep things even more manageable. The wide footprint of sanding frames lets the entire assembly glide over uneven surfaces and prevent sander tilting and gouging

Sanding Stands Add Versatility to Belt Sanders
Sanding stand attachments turn a mobile tool into a benchtop workstation
by Michael Standish

It’s possible to clamp a belt sander upside down and freehand your finish carpentry tweaks, but you’ll probably get better results if your sander is firmly and reliably attached using a sanding stand. This model from Bosch allows the sander to be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical position and still retain a dust collection port. DeWalt also offers a sanding stand that attaches to their sanding frame. It's important to note, however, that this attachment blocks the dust collection port and you can't practically attach a vacumn hose to that belt sander while it's attached to the sanding stand apparatus.
