    I honestly had no idea the versatility a bench grinder could have with all of the different options for jigs. Always figured it’s great to sharpen a beater chisel or a lawn mower blade or what have you. Didn’t think of it as such an accurate way to sharpen anything complicated other than those things. Very cool! Thanks for always willing to teach us something new. Your videos rock!

    The safety bars on the shaper are a must in my opinion. I have never used a shaper without them. And that is 35 to 40 years ago. A colleague was setting up the shaper for some window frames. He quickly ran a test block, without the bars, to save precious time. The ambulance got him, and his one and a half now detached fingers, to the hospital quickly, to save precious time. Alas, the fingers could not be glued back on.

    Nice to see another oh most excellent video demonstrating your skill and knowledge. But Mike, for me, Not gonna lie. I have gotten into big trouble here in New Hampshire. Yea. It's been motorcycles for me. The barn finds, the container finds ~ That "tampered with" motorcycle from the latino neighborhood in Massachusetts. Less woodworking for me. It took fbMP to get me off of my woodworking and sailboat rehab dreams. It's the four barrel carburetor bracket that has my attention. My son now settling in the Denver area. So we will see. Maybe I'll ride on by and visit. (I now have three of these, in good shape, not quite running (yet)) Gonna weld up a camping pannier for the Suzuki Bandit 1200. Oh yea! 70 years old in May.

    It is hard to find the time to get in the shop with a full time job and young family but maybe I will achieve some small taste of the success you have earned. Take a look at a video! Its a small shop with similar sq footage to what you had when you started your career. All the best.

    The only thing worse than blowing a pin nail out of the wood is blowing a pin nail out of the wood and into your finger. Also, I have a Tormek and love it, but have to agree that there is absolutely nothing about their (very, very fine) equipment that's inherently self-explanatory. The edge it makes is worth it, though.
    Love your shop projects!

  • @ramsdalesherman3844

    Ive only come across a few people that have a similar attitude towards the tormek, i even have one, but ended up doing exactly what youve done ans got mounts to go in front of the bench grinder, tormek was painfully slow for regrinds, and turning tools. My straight chisels did come off there like razors but the edge left of tormek was weak, so went back to ahnd finishing as i done since young age. Great video Mike and awesome workhmshop grinder set up for everything from hobbist to professional shop, this set up would be the best all round for many applications in my personal opinion.

    • @MikeFarrington
      @MikeFarrington  Месяц назад +1

    I often buy my firewood from Home Depot! Every bit of their lumber is “firewood” rated. 😂👍🏻

    I use the same screws to hold my shop casters, but I'm too cheap to even use washers, ha!

      Ha! I'm worried a screw alone will pull through.

    I have the same grinder and have been wondering if it would accept the diamond wheels. Making a dedicated bench for it is also on my list of things to do. You gave me some ideas, thank you for sharing.
