Goodell Pratt Model 485. This was their "tool box grinder", their smallest model and meant to be portable but it's built like a tank and weighs almost 11 lbs. With a 22:1 ratio this thing spins like an electric with very little effort and is almost as loud.

This is before I cleaned out the petrified grease and put in new. She spins like a top now.
Prairie Tool Co. Sturdibilt Model 85 hand crank grinder. Very nice grinder with a 15:1 ratio. Circa 1920's.
My first handle, made from mystery wood, possibly bass wood which is a terrible choice for a handle but it probably won't see much use. I de-rusted, polished and linseed oiled the head. The handle is sanded to 220 and several coats of BLO.
