A spindle sander isn't a bad idea, I've got a truck window motor I could use to make it oscillate. I seem to have these standard 1725rpm 1/3hp motors piling up on a shelf, so I've been toying with the idea of using two of them for a single 2x72 sander, maybe sharing a pulley or more likely belted together. I very rarely find the need for a spindle sander, so I figure I could substitute the 2x72 with a small wheel the few times I do. I do enough metal work that the cruddy HF 1x30 is killing me, so that would probably be a better investment of my time.

I'm fine with going off topic at this point, here goes: I've got a few interesting motors I've been holding on to for a rainy day. A small 1725rpm 1/12hp that's pin-drop silent, a big 2hp 3phase motor I don't currently have the means to power, and seemingly endless fan motors of different sizes. I'm sure one of these motors, likely a 1/3hp, is going to turn into a centrifugal blower for a dust collector.

I'll make jigs for the table saw to do everything from jointing to box joints. It's just a circular saw mounted upside down, so no dado blades for me, but I plan to work it to death lol.

I'm in a small area, so space is definitely at a premium. If I can get away using one tool for the work of two or three, albeit with slight awkwardness, I will.
