A Sanding Block Using a Belt

I recently learned of a smart sanding block design by "PB Machines" (https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/...ted-file-78988) that used a belt. I needed one! But could I change the design, so it was easier to build? There was a tradeoff between ease of construction and ease of changing belts. Here is the result.

If you are interested, please see

Your comments are welcome. All of us are smarter than any one of us.

Thanks,

I agree PB Machines build is the Rolls Royce but not having the machinery or the materials to hand I think your idea will do me just fine.
