Up until now I have been sanding using a cordless drill with some sanding pads. I made up a series of pads so I don't have to change the paper every time I want to change grits. As my batteries are starting to deteriorate, I decided it was time to make myself a rotary sander (for the all up cost of under $10.00).
I bought 10x 19mm bearings for $3.50 on ebay, and a copper 45 degree bend (internal diameter 19mm) for $6.50 from plumbing supplies. 90 degree was 1/2 that price, but 45 lets me get into tighter spaces).
Glued in 2 bearings on one side, and turned up a handle for the other. Shaft of the sanding pads was a tad too tight, but grinding off just a wee bit made them easy to get in & out.
