This sander was built as part of my senior metalwork class. It was called a “phoenix” project, where you had to take something old and make it new again. This was originally a machine for regrinding brake shoes, it was donated for the 100 hour project last semester and was being thrown out. So I stripped it down and ended up just using the housing, cast iron disc plate and the motor. The motor itself was a project, the switch didn’t work and the arbor was bent. I cast the quadrants out of aluminum. I was quite happy with how the table turned out, After milling it flat I did the final surfacing on a surface grinder, it came out like a mirror when it was done. I tried enlarging the disc to 10”, however the extra weight through the balancing of the machine off, so I ended up sticking with the 8” size. I’m happy with it and use it quite a bit.
All beds on full rebuilds are machined so that their surface is just like new and back to their original specifications.

Hand forged katana by J Wheaton. This work is currently in process. The
cutting edge is 730mm long with a 260mm tang (handle bit). Blade is
7.5mm thick at the base and tapering to 4mm at the point. It is forged
from an 18mm rod of O1 tool steel. I have been working off and on this
for 10 months and I will complete it soon. Making swords is really,
really hard work.
The aluminum front bodywork is made of 16 parts that are weld together on a wooded form, known as a buck.
This photograph is a visual direct link to a piece by Viggo Mortensen. The building is altered in size and proportions through the shape of the metalwork on this car, making it that bit more visually pleasing, just like the effect that Mortensen creates in his photograph.
