Thanks Bill! I enjoy those restoration videos as well. I may try making one myself. I'm not sure about the best way to shoot it, but I'll figure it out as I go along.
And beautiful restoration-thanks for posting! I think 7” was originally the standard because 3450 rpm produces the ideal SFM speed for aluminum oxide wheels at that time.
Good eye! Yes, it is the Bench Vise Stand from ShopNotes magazine. You can purchase the plan for it here: www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/bench-vise-stand/ Since my bench vise is mounted directly to my bench, I repurposed this stand into a grinder stand. It's a nice design and pretty sturdy for MDF. If I were building it specifically as a grinder stand, I would probably make it a little bit wider or do away with the lip around the top. It's a tight fit for the grinder, but it works.
Great video on your grinder. I am looking for the cup & holder. Make some more. Very informative 🍷
I just bought 2 of those in beautiful condition. I dropped it in my driveway and mashed two of the hoods. I almost cried. Beautiful grinder.
Ouch! I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach whenever I do something like that. Hopefully you'll be able to find some replacements.
Great video and a nice grinder, love vintage tools. Tons of restoration videos on RUclips so I must not be alone!

Nice video Vince. I look forward to more.
Thanks John! Great to hear from you.

That makes sense. I was going to speak to the 3450 vs. 1725 rpm issue in the video, but I didn't want to open up a can of worms.
Can you tell me how to tighten Allen screws behind wheel that hold wheel guard in place.thanks
Great video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Robert! I appreciate the encouragement.
Nice video!!
Great video. They dont make grinders like that any more. Thanks.
Thank you for your comment. If they still made grinders like this today, I doubt I'd be able to afford one, as I'm sure they would be quite expensive.
I wonder if thats a craigslist score you beat me too. Sweet grinder anyhow.
Thanks. I bought it back in 2012 and I saw the ad within the first hour that it was up. Just being at the right place at the right time!
The station looks like the MDF Shop Notes stand. How do you like that for a grinder stand? Would you do anything different?

The Tinkerer's Workshop I have that SN issue with the plans. Thanks for the tips on using it for a grinder stand.
Great video, sir. However, I suggest growing a pair of mutton chops to enhance your style.
