Neo-Tribal Grinding


This fellow was in the market, sharpening kinves. I really dug his home made grinder. I've seen pedal grinders before, but they were always belt driven. This one uses the original tire against the arbor/axle.

Sorry this one's a little blurry--the rest are better.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Just goes to show you how a fellow can get by on next to nothing and make something out of junk. Heck, I do it all the time. I have a bunch of junk

Pics


Dana, I can't get the pics either. Not from work, T-1 connection, or home, cable connection. Any ideas?

Re: Problems with pictures


I think the problem is with Photopoint. I cannot even access their website. The pictures were there, honest--I saw them, so did Kevin and Max. Keep trying back. Also my Oaxaca smithing pictures are gone as well--all through Photopoint (and I'm a paying subscriber.)

Re: Photopoint back up


Really neat Dana, wonder how many tools could be made using man/bike power.

There is a retired tool and die maker around here that attends craft shows. He uses a bike pedaled home made metal lathe to make whistles, small key charm pears, apples out of brass. The lathe is slow turning and the tooling is hand held much like a wood lathe. The tooling are made from high speed steel bits held in wood handle.

Re: Neo-Tribal and Healthy too


There's not many endeavors that are fulfilling, potentially profitable, just plain fun, and good for your heart too. Got to make one of these grinders. I don't have the discipline to exercise regularly, but with with a bicycle grinder....hmmmm.
