Hi Folks, as I was watching the very good Rolling Pin Sander presentation I remembered that back in the late 1970's I have built one of those little jiggers, but not out of wood. For those who have the equipment here is a metal version. It's lasted me 30 odd years tho I have not used it in recent times.
It started out as a length of aluminium pipe about 50mm diameter, in one end is a bearing [from an air cooler] that has a length of 25mm steel bar [air cooler shaft] press fitted into it. The bearing is press fit into the aluminium pipe and secured with the circlip. At the other end of the pipe there is an end plate that has a small shaft turned into it, this could be a suitable bolt that goes in from the inside. I screwed this on flush with the end of the pipe. To add some cushioning I put a layer of rubber around the pipe to lessen any bouncing due to any hard surface contact. The sanding sleeves I make up myself.

I'm sure there is a way to make one using PVC pipe.
