I've got the Ryobi belt/disc combo as well?.nice unit! The only real issue has been a little melting of the plastic angle guide when, for instance, I'm sanding down a tubular spacer or something and the work gets too hot!Yes.
I have an inexpensive Ryobi belt and disk sander. Since I didn't have a quick build, I can't say how many parts you still have to fabricate.
The sander the I used extensively was one similar to one of these from Harbor Freight. It came in really handing for the finish kit, especially for things like the doors.

Mine was from a different OEM. I also had an air driven one, but it didn't last long.
Thanks Bill and rocketman. Can you give me the names of some good automatic center punches?
Thank you for all the replies and yes, I have been using the search function often. Speaking of drill presses, which drill press do you guys recommend? I would like to get one with a laser that is accurate but haven't been able to narrow which model to get. FYI, I have spent hours researching this so any help would be greatly appreciated!
I currently have:
1) Grizzly band saw (Like new off of Craigs list...$200!)
2) Delta Bench grinder
3) 30 Gallon Industrial Air compressor
4) Isham tool kit + more.
5) I have a good vice but don't have the right jaws for it.
