Congratulations The Hobby Machinist NZ - your V-Drum Sander is the Homemade Tool of the Month for July 2025!

This is a well thought-out build, and excellently explained, posted in three parts over the past two months (Part 1, Part 2).

And that makes two Homemade Tool of the Month wins in a row for The Hobby Machinist NZ, after his Lathe Drilling Attachment from June. When we previously ran Homemade Tool of the Week contests, we had many two-in-a-row winners, but this is our first such winner in our monthly contests.
