i was on the silverfishlongboarding forums and came across a very interesting idea. they guy was thinking of taking his broken blender and turning it into a drum sander. just something crude and simple. here is a link to the original post http://www.silverfishlongboarding.com/f ... 1298682042

thinking of building one, if i find a blender at a garage sale this summer :D

Even at it's slowest speed I think a blender would be about 5X too fast, have no torque and probably nowhere near a durable enough bearing.
A buddy bought one of those Home Depot ROSS sanders the other day off Craigslist for $50.

Must be quite a blender!

I've never seen a blender that is powerful enough and I'll bet you haven't either.

Plus they're way, way, way too fast.

What's the word for the opposite of 'genius'?
