I know how tough it can be to find machinery over there in WA, Darren. I also know how limited Ed is with money and space for such luxuries, so if either of you ever need a grinding job done you know who to ask!
I'm going to post a couple more photos here soon. One will be my 2" wide x 3-1/2" length capacity grinding vise with the 5" sine base that I made as my senior year project in vocational high school for the 1976-1977 school year. Just a week ago I had brought my 91 year old shop teacher to my shop to show him how I still have and use the tools I'd made under his tutelage. He was SO impressed with the shop and the projects I showed him that I'd done there.
