New Sharpening Station

[Nate Davey]

Firstly, all the cabinet grade workshop guys avert your eyes. I wanted to try something a little different for my sharpening station. As I'm extremely space limited, I wanted something the could mount on my ways or screw down to my workbench. This is what I came up with. It's made entirely out of scrap until I work the kinks out. The hole under the grinders on/off switch is 1 3/4" deep and will accommodate my 5/8 bowl gouge. I like the height but need to rotate it 90 degrees so as not to send all the metal and wheel dust into my lathe. Aside from that I'm sort of partial to it. The guards will be put back on the grinder before use, just have them off to remove some un-needed brackets.

Comments and criticism welcomed.

What is the significance of this hole ?????? Looks like you have a very workable setup.

Mike,

When using the Wolverine Sharpening Jig, the recommended tool overhang, if that makes sense, is 1 3/4". I just put the gouge in the hole and run the jig up to the cabinet and tighten it down.

Nice Nate, great use of a small space.
