So...just purchased ($30) a fantastic looking "CoolKutter" hand crank grinder made in good 'ole Milwaukee Wisconsin...See the E-Bay photos below, it should be here in a few days. Now, it's time to outfit a nice hand crank grinding station for my plane blades and chisels and I'd love to see some photos and/or get some ideas from folks who have done this in the past.
My gut reaction is to purchase a new Norton wheel, a wheel dresser, and maybe one of the nice Veritas Tool Rests and mount the whole thing to a large chunck of 3/4 Birch Ply that I can stow away when not in use and fasten to the bench when I need it...but I'd love to see what other foks have done before I go spending a bundle at LV again.
Thanks,
Chris
