Anyone have the ability to build one or know where someone would sell a used one I know there custom and I'm looking for a guy that has done it and will build one for me if possible. Thanks.

The best bet is setting up a table on the end of a 6X80" edge sander and either use a collar or have a flush bearing mounted on the motor. Search out other threads on this topic... There are a bunch of ideas that you can do yourself. 

I have a 6x80 on the way to me now with these same plans. Make a flush bearing underneath the motor pulley so my riser jig can ride on it. I have access to a metal lathe to make the ring. (or rub collar). I was using a robosander from Picou Deisgns on a drill press. It works but not the best for hogging out very much.

There is no comparison to a robo sander. Once you set your pattern sander up with a 36 grit belt on it you will be pleasantly suprized. The only thing you really need to watch closely is the tracking on the belt. Don't get it too close to the bearing. Some guys have had their drums turned flat on the motor end where they mounted the flush bearing. I didn't mess with that on mine and it works just fine. 

Another little trick is making your patterns thicker so you don't have to run that belt so close to the bearing, and screw up your pattern guide.  Using high density pattern base material is worth while too.  Plexiglass works ok for awhile, but you are better off using 1/4" g-10 or micarta for longevity.
