- Watch me make a bowl sander with all the parts needed in 1 easy kit from Prokraft.
Some of this kit was inspired by Marius Hornberger a very skilled young German engineer, we recommend visiting his TH-cam channel for more great ideas and projects.
Kits are available here:

Great video, thanks! Easy to assemble kit - Works great!!
My kit plus some other supplies and pen kits should be here this week, really nice that Jon does a video with his products...
Hi Mick. just took delivery of your kit. I priced out the cost of a similarly designed sander at my local woodworking store here in Norway. It was 3 times the price of your kit even with the delivery cost. So I'm very happy with my purchase as I have been wanting a sander like this for years but was never willing to pay such an outrageous price.
Hello Mike, It's Jon but don't worry - glad you enjoyed the kit and saved a bit too.
Thank you. Thank you Thank you. This is by FAR the BEST video on making one of these. SO VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. Mr. B from 🇨🇦
My first little project Great kit and as it says on the packet it works fab. Thanks for you video and thanks for the kit spot on...
Excellent kit the most difficult task for me was using the scissors to cut the sponge!!!
Great kit, great instructional video enjoyed making the sander
Thanks 👍
Jon, Bought one of your bowl sander kits, finished making it this week, works great, excellent instructions especially if used with this video. Great product, will be purchasing more of your products in the near future, thanks, Mick.
Hi Mick, many thanks for your positive comments they are much appreciated. If I can help with anything please don't hesitate to ask. Jon.
Where do I order this kit?
Hello Don, these are on our website www.prokraft.co.uk
Any problems please let me know.
Jon
Just bought one of these kits and now after watching video can't wait for it to turn up and make it. Especially as I've just made my own carbide tools with handles.
Just ordered my kit, thanks, excellent tutorial, shared on my G+ wood groups.....:)
Thanks Adam, I hope it will be useful but more importantly they are great fun to make and don't forget the guide is only a guide - you can make it exactly as you want it to be. Jon.

Second kit arrived....Bowl sander made with additional head...bet i find the original any time soon :)
Looks like I'm going to be putting another order from you soon.
Thanks Mark - order received and on it's way 😁👍
I'll be buying one of these kits shortly but in the meantime I'm going to make just the sanding head to go in a my Ryobi drill for power sanding. I'll be using JCB mesh sanding sheets. These are open mesh sheets that come in a pack of 4 (80,120, 180 & 240 grit) and are hook & mesh backed. JCB claim they last 4x longer than sandpaper. I've used a sheet of 80 grit on my home made bench sander and it certainly doesn't clog like normal sanding discs do. Well worth a try and normally available from larger B&Q branches. Not expensive (price may vary but I paid £6.00 for a slightly damaged pack of 4). The sheets are 280mm x 230mm and you should be able to get 20 50mm discs per sheet with a couple of strips left over.
Great idea, trying new things is what makes these things fun, that is how we came to put the kit together - we never intended to sell them until we discovered how long it takes to source all the bits. Good Luck. Jon.
Made one of these - use it on every bowl! Very easy to put together, although the handle I made isn't quite as nice as Jon's! :-)
Thanks Chris, I confess I have even used mine on pens.
Ha Ha I watched this video again to remind me how to make the sander... Can i hell find my kit, turned the workshop upside down. Ordered another kit last night. I bet i find it without looking for it next time i going in the workshop. I am going to have one sander for each grade of grit...ha ha
When will it be in Stock? How much in USA currency ? Thanks John
Hi Joe, my apologies, they are in stock, error on our system now rectified. We only sell in GBP but Paypal should do a conversion for you. Kind regards, Jon.
