Step 3: Handle holder and handles
To Secure the Pieces that Go inside… You need to make handles. Drill holes on the metal use a big Nut.

Weld it in place and then you will be able to place the handles that hold the metal tubing in place so nothing moves or vibrates

Make two holes on each side. and a bigger hole on front this is where the Wheel will go

I probably should make one of these belt sanders. Although I have so many hand held bent sanders now. Some of which I have made stands for too.

Wow awesome idea! Are you going to swap out the drive wheel on the fringes for something wider?

I like the idea of incorporating the motorized grinder into the design. One can still use the outboard wheel for wire brushing or rotary grinding, and also use
the belt driver as a contact wheel too. I wish your 1st image didn't have such background clutter though, it distracts from your very useful idea, but still, well
done.
