Hi folks……
A long time ago, in a edition that I can’t remember, I saw an article on how to build a thickness sander. I think it was by Grit Laskin from Toronto. I can’t for the life of me, find that article, so I’m coming hat in hand to you fine people in my search. Thanks in advance!!!!
Ron.

There may have been more after.
In another magazine just recently had an article too, and it might still be on the magazine racks.
ShopNotes Vol.15 Issue 86
There's also something in one of the current newstand mags. Shop Notes? maybe. Can't remember, but the design is for one that runs off your table saw arbor. You feed by hand-cranking.

Many thanks for the heads-up on the articles. Looks like the Shopnotes version is the way to go. It's cheaper, and pretty well foolproof. I'll modify it so that it will run off it's own motor. (Don't feel like messing around with my tablewas!!!!.Ron.
