Hey folks, just came across this site and am all about the homemade tools! Can't believe I didn't know about this site earlier. :) I just put a video together of my 2x72 belt grinder that I made a while back, please check it out:

If you don't have one of these gracing the benches of your metalworking shop, you are missing out. It's been a fantastic addition to my shop, and I wouldn't be without it now!
Nice man,,,I'm about to start on mine this weekend. I never knew why people pay so much money to but these when they are easily made at home for a fraction of the price

Really appreciate that, thank you!
For anyone thinking about going down the road of building their own version of this, are there any specific questions out there? Thinking about doing a followup video to this one at some point, and would like to make it as useful and helpful as possible.
Do you have "grinding" belts or just sanding belts?
