G'day everyone,

This is part 2 of making a whetstone grinder for sharpening my tools. Part 1 can be found here youtu.be/cAaXBuPKkrI

The purpose of the grinder is to grind sharp edges on my tools. A normal grinder spins too fast and produces too much heat and dust. This grinder is much slower and submerges a part of the stone in water to keep the heat down and to stop dust and grit. There is also a honing wheel to remove the burr.

A tormek grinder costs over $1000 AUD which I can not justify, so I made this one instead. I hope you enjoy the video.
