A relatively easy to construct adaptation for the wood lathe using some thrift-store inline skate wheels and a rock.
Rocks are typically a readily available renewable resource; however, should you not have access to natural materials, I will be happy to provide you with one for a small fee plus shipping. The rock featured here has an approximate mass of two pounds, or 0.14 stone, pun intended. This particular example consists of sandstone, which is a quartz-based sedimentary rock.

He made a few "weird belt sander" get-ups on his drill press, which is exactly why this video shares the title- it is a small homage to a great innovator. He no longer makes videos, but you can still see his influence in today's woodworking videos, especially in the way that they are edited. I for one, usually place a still shot at the end of each of my videos that features the finished project: I call this the "noho shot." I sincerely wish him the best, and I regret his disappearance from YouTube.
