Sharpening Station

[thrt15nc]

I've had a 1/3 horsepower motor from a tabletop drill press that was worthless. Used it about twice, and then kept the motor and threw everything else away. When I saw these plans in Shopnotes, I figured I could mate the motor to it and even though I'm not going to put it to much work, it looked like a project I'd enjoy. It's finished now. It seems to run pretty well. I'll keep it for a bit and then probably try to sell it. It's got a 6X1 120 grit cool wheel, 6X1 medium felt wheel, and a 6" shaped felt wheel. There's room for a couple more.

Thanks for looking.

That looks like a great set-up but my shop is so small I don't think I would have room for it.

I'm in the same boat. It's supposed to hang on a wall. but I don't have any wall space. Well, maybe about 8 feet off the floor. But it can sit on a cabinet or clamp it to the bench when running it.

Nicely done looks like your ready to sharpen something.

Looks good, plenty of space to work.

Very nice! Really like the backsplash to keep all the crud away from the walls.

Good design, and I also like the excellent execution of your idea: the tight dados and rabbets in your casework, and the fine reveal around the drawers.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
