I've enjoyed my belt sander for a long time. But it doesn't work well for small stuff, or long thin strips. So I built a platform on which I can mount the sander on its side, and clamped down with a couple long bolts, wing nuts and a bar over the top. I have a platform that I can raise and lower a bit in front of the belt. I've designed mine to fit on top of my router stand. I can easily take it off and store it away. This makes some sanding chores much easier, and allows me to remove quite a bit of material from small pieces when necessary.
