I wrote this article several years ago for another site. It relates to building an external sander the internal is somewhat different as it has to be considerable smaller and not as easy as it does involve some engineering skills of the internal I have built many to find the ideal design. and until recently I sold them on-line. But the engineering side of my shop is not fully set up after the move. But here a couple of images of the sander
