Hi all,
I've lurked for a while now and thought I'd post a picture of my first attempt at a neander grinding setup. Total invested, $2 for a flea-market grinder. I have a new Norton wheel from LV, but it didn't come with any bushings to adapt the 1'' hole down to 1/2''. Sigh, another trip to LV...
I was originally inspired by this photo (http://www.daikudojo.org/ShopTalk/crVisit/c14.JPG) (daikudogo.org (http://www.daikudojo.org/ShopTalk/crVisit.htm)) and recalled a similar design in Krenov's book titled, 'The Fine Art of Cabinetmaking' (another flea market find). Ultimately, I took most of the ideas from David Finck's, 'Making & Mastering Wood Planes' and added a groove in the tool rest to improve my tool grip.

(NB: I unclamped it before snapping the photo)
