I have been thinking of making another one of those, made one in my youth that was powered by a washing machine/dryer motor. However, I built a bench on wheels, mounted the motor on the lower panel, ran a proper-length belt through a rectangular hole in the top panel to a shaft/pulley/bolt-down sleeve bearing/dual shaft coupler assembly mounted on wood blocks to drive a grinding wheel and a wire brush wheel. I'm pretty sure it powered up with a light switch as well. No idea what became of it.
