Peter, it seems like I saw something similar scrolling through the old project posting here. Try a search on drum sanders.
You are saying small, maybe find a large wood cylinder and a small motor and put something together.

Peter,
I Googled benchtop drum sander to get an idea of what an industry standard machine looks like and found this term covers several variations or configurations of sanding machines.
Are you looking to make one that is used in a similar manner as a thickness planer?, or one with an exposed belt and a small shelf or table to permit sanding at 90 degrees to the face of a component?
This has me interested in finding a solution,
Tom
Edit: I just used YouTube to search for "How to make a drum sander", the results were plentiful. Give this a try, good luck.

Lot of results on a search, even saw one covered by "Wood" magazine using a drill as a power source. Many options.

crowie... if you buy yourself a lathe... I might be able to help.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Thanks for that link Ot. I have a good drum sander, however, that was an interesting video... gave me a few ideas for other jigs and introduced me to some novel hardware...
crowie just an FYI if you don't already know, amongs others, this mob here in Aussieland (that tracksaw runner hardware caught my eye) has a good selection of those bits of hardware you see on Yankeeland resident's shop built home videos.

Thank you “old tools” using a variable speed drill makes the build heaps easier and smaller plus adjustable to boot 👍

Just drop your 'shop at my place in Churchill... I'll fit the lathe, tune it, paint the walls and sweep the floor before bringing all back to you.
