Metal project: Pipe sander

I watched video's on people making these many times over the years but never built one because I didn't have a use for one. Well, the Jeep rock sliders just gave me that opportunity. :D It's built onto a $9.99 H.F. grinder. :D (I love these things, have many of them)

I will put the video that inspired this build at the bottom if you're interested. I made a few changes like using the H.F. grinder and the handle position, the rest is about the same. It really works great to remove mill scale from the pipe and quickly took it to bare metal. Because the belt forms around the pipe, it won't sand flat areas or mis-shape the pipe like other sanding options would. Sanding belts are 1" x 30" and easily found at H.F. and the box stores, etc.
