Good job Terry, it is said " nessesicity" is the mother of invention, needless to say I made my own also but mine is for the Delta wet sharpener ( dry side) from a piece of oak and bracket from my 6 inch grinder... , feels so much better to make one's own and have it work spot on !!!! you can see it here :

just on the other side of the motor. I have the cup stone on a 6 inch grinder i had from years ago and now a 6" wheel on the delta for carbide stuff.

Looks good Terry! Now you just need to make the vari-grind parts to do fingernail grinds. There are several sources of plans online. Someone here will know where to look.
