Thanks for the welcome and the input. Today I built/ assembled a grinder from an old industrial grade 10" bench grinder, took off the side plates put on rubber coated aluminum wheels, welded up a platform and attached 2 wheels on each side 18'' below the main drive with an adjustment on the lower 2 wheels. The lower back 2 wheels are on a locking sliding track which enables the machine to take various belt sizes. I built a forge a while back and have been pounding out knives from leaf springs and old files as well as rebar, the first knives were pretty darn hidious, but they have gotten better. I want to start taking this whole thing a little more serious and make knives with better fit and finish, more attention to detail.
