Yes they are very similar. I saw your youtube which is very cool. I noticed that you have the speed reducer on yours. There have been a number of times I would have liked to go slower. What did you use for drums ?

No speed reducer. The drums are PVC. It's all in the blog. I run at "drum sander" speed.
