Has anyone ever built one of these? Any good?

I want a drum sander for making segmented rings flat and parallel.
I want a surface sander for leveling dovetails and box joints in decorative boxes, and fish sanding marquetry in cabinet doors.
While niether will do both, I can't help but think that I can build a thickness planer/Surface planer combo tool where you feed stock under the drum for thicknessing, and across a table above the drum for surfacing.
Kinda like those jointer/planer combos that are around but definitely less sophisticated.
Any thoughts?
