All of my belongings finally caught up to me at 4am Saturday morning. It took a little time to get things sorted out so I didn't get to work at putting my grinder back together till yesterday. The bench in the garage was just a little taller than I remembered it so I made a temp ghetto stand for the grinder. Basically I took the grinder out of the create I made for the move and mounted the grinder to that then bolted everything to a old washtub stand. I had to put a couple of pavers in the create to make it stable but it works like a dream, and for something that is make shift, its only about 1/2" shorter than ideal:thumbup: It doesn't look great but it works fine and I can't shake it off. I will try get a couple of pictures of my ghetto grinder stand tomorrow
All I need now is a couple blades for my band saw and some steel to grind on and I am set to go. I need to head in to Ottawa to get the blades and I should be making a steel order later this week, so everything should come together all at the same time.

I can't wait to start making purposeful sparks again. I got two knives out after getting it built up and then had to pack it up for the move, it was frustrating to say the least.
