My homemade drum sander was made mainly for the purpose of precisely sanding angled wedges for my shell sculptures. This video shows some of the construction of the basic machine, and I will show my wedge sanding fixture soon in a future video. The sander is built on my workbench, and is belt-driven by a 3/4 horsepower motor. It uses a standard 9x11 sheet of sandpaper. The most interesting feature is the thickness adjustment which is adjusted with a section of threaded rod bent into an arc. The machine is built very solid with a heavy 1" steel shaft supported on pillow block bearings, and a thick baltic birch table. No foam padding is needed under the abrasive because there is very little deflection of the drum or table during use.
