A spindle sander would be just the ticket. One of these days I'm gonna pop for one. The cheaper ones don't really have a big enough table so it's gonna take several hundred $. In the meantime I'll keep using a drum set-up I made to go in the drill press, similar to the Robo-Sander from Stew-Mac. Problem is it doesn't oscillate so the wear on the sanding drum is in one spot, until you move the table, or the spindle. I can't talk anyone into standing thee and "oscillate" the spindle. They think I'm nuts. I'd post some pics, but my old digital just doesn't cut it.
I like that belt Rigid sander. What I've done for the same effect, and to use the whole width of the belt, is to mount a belt sander at an angle to the table, so the the work-piece is sanded across the enitre width of the belt. Sure saves on belts.
Nice job Bucko'. About that paint job... Yellow is one of the poorest hiding colors. You can get some really different shades by experimenting with different color base-primer coats. Fun ain't it?
