DIY Drum Sander... will it work?

I need to get a drum/spindle sander in order to finish off some of the custom guitars I'm working on, but quite frankly I've dumped more of my personal money into shop setup than I'd like to acknowledge.

What am I to do?

Maybe try building my own!!

I found a 1.5 HP electric motor in the basement.

I THINK I have parts from a broken electric drill somewhere... if I could find the chuck at least, that would be great.

I've got an old Masonite tabletop downstairs... and with that I'm just a few steps away from constructing my own Spindle Sander!

Will it work? I just don't know!... but I'll find out in the next few days... because I REALLY need to get a move on with these guitars!!!
