I have made some significant changes and additions to my website. Well, you could say it is completely different now. A great deal more stuff has been added.
The address has been changed from www.redacorn.org/brome/ to www.stoneandsteel.net
I still have the old stuff on there, the tools and Grizzly grinder mods, but have added a sheathmaking tutorial (no picts yet, though), a bit about my repair and restoration work, some picts of my sheaths and knives, shop photos and more. I plan to add more in the future. Some of the pictures are not the clearest because they were digital photos made from older regular photos, but they are all I have.
Please check it out and let me know what you think, either here or email me. Also let me know if there are any problems with the site or any suggestions, etc.
My main goal with the site is to help out others with some of the things I have learned, just as someone once helped me.
All the design credit for the site goes to my sister; she is quite good at it, and I am pretty happy with what she has done.
Thanks for letting me share,
Brome
 
Kudo's to your sister's design work!

Excellent job on color selection, layout, organization, and continuity. Even the use of navigation controls make it a comfortable, smooth-flowing site.

And as a software designer myself, I'm pretty picky about that stuff too.

Site looks great. I also use a grizzly and have been playing abound with modifications (on paper only, aside from a good platen). This may seem dense but, why do you have blocks of wood in your belts hanging on the wall? Everything looks really good!
 
Thanks for the kind words.
I plan to further modify my Grizzly by separating the motor from the idler arm and using pillow blocks and step pulleys to increase speed versatility. As well as add a KMG. But all that comes after the shop is done.
As far as mods, you are welcome to email me with any questions and I will do my best to help you out. I think the Grizzly is a good grinder, it is just fun to tweek it!
Great question! All of my shops up until this one were not insulated. I found that for all of my belts (but the coursest grits) would curl up if left hanging on their own. I used small 2x4 blocks to give the lower end of the belts some weight. This cured the curling problem.
Thanks,
Brome
