I am in the midst of a great thought. SWMBO has determined that we (she calls it we) need to remodel the lower level (common folks call it a basement) and in doing so we must rid ourselves of the guy stuff such as Neon Beer signs, stuffed fish and deer and such. (why all MY stuff?)
Anyway, the Treadmill has out run its usefullness as a place to store folded laundry. It still works but even Salvation Army or Goodwill won't except them as donations... must be a score for sale in the paper. Mine is old beyond compare. Can't give it away... So.... I was thinking of ravaging the guts from it and using the slow-fast speed control and the drum to make a drum sander. Can the rest of the works and make a thickness sander to compliment my shop.
What do you think? Any advise? Anyone done it?
