This is an awesome project and great upgrade to a classic machine.

I'm impressed and inspired by what you've created here.

Goooooooooooooooooood job sir.

For the record any wife who'd spring for a Bruce Bump carbide file guide is a peach

The only "extra" thing I'dve done on this would have been to use different size wheels on the flat platen like this :

Chris, good restoration/resurrection on this grinder. I think it will give you years of service now. I'm with Corey, keep up the accessory additions.
It would look good with a fresh coat of Aspen Green Detroit engine spray paint.

There must be an inside joke here I don't get although Aspen Green Detroit engine is a nice color of paint.....................

Got to be about the pinnacle of eastern Washington grinders.
