Builder on the move

I ran into some trouble with my drum sander yesterday, I really need a
proper motor or I'll have to rebuild it in some way. So I bring the
tops, backs and sides out dad's workshop today. We were going anyway
to fill the quota of family time, and what better way to do it than to
improvise a way to thin wood?

The sander really bothers me. I don't know enough of electric motors.
Yesterday was a complete disaster.
