[Hack]

Well, being an avid woodworker, I have a pretty nice setup out in the shop. Built some nice stuff over the last decade if I do say so myself. One thing that has always bugeed me was the lack of a way to sand wide panels. I only have a 12" planer and anything over that I have to go to a local shop and have it done. No big deal, but they are getting expensive and rude and don't like the little guy anymore so....lets build a sander.

Nothing real fancy. About 25" width. with power feed and up to about 5" thickness capacity.

Gonna build it out of aluminum extrusions and mdg for the most part. Why?

Well I have some extrusion laying around, and I have some mdf laying around, and I have a motor laying around, and I have some pillow blocks laying around and I have some ......well you get the point.

Below is a quick rendering of what it might look like.
