A shop made tool rest to replace the tiny metal thing that came with the grinder. It’s an adjustable version of one i found in one of Krenov’s books.
Tilts and moves forward and back as needed. Locks into place with hex keys.
Both the tool rest and the grinder are attached to a small board that can be easily clamped to a workbench when used, or stored on a shelf when it’s not needed.
Made from scraps of plywood, a couple of bolts, two threaded inserts and two washers.

Good job man. I suggest getting a coarse 60-grit white aluminum oxide wheel. Helps prevent the tip of your irons from overheating.

Thanks guys,
Pat, the slot is to allow your fingers to get an easy hold on the blade without getting in the way
J_H, it was shown in a small photo in ‘The Fine Art of Cabinetmaking’
Fettler, It’s on my list, but for now i can get by with a little care and a bit of extra time.
