well after reading Wayne Goddard's $50 Knife Shop book and after visiting with local knifemaker Ron Duncan and seeing his homebuilt grinders I decided to start working on one. One of my many hobbies is metalcasting so I decided to take the KMG design and cast it from aluminum. I started making the wooden casting patterns tonight. One difference is that isntead of using 1/2 steel all parts will be 3/4" thick, since that's how thick the wood I have is. I basically had a bunch of plywood left over after building my new workbench so I cut the pieces out of that. It's almost pretty enough that I wish I could just make it out of wood. hahahaha
