The Home Machinist!

that sounds like what I want, now to fabricate it.

Thanks

The stone is the a real grindstone as in the old farm grindstone, it is great for sharpening if you have patience. what I an trying to do is improve the tool rest, the present one (under the two black knobs) is not too stable. I have visions of a tool rest like the one on the Makita horizontal stone...

This machine needs some kind of wide rest . The present one is not too accurate. Hope this gets to the correct place, Im new at this.
