Hi oilmania - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:

Be sure to check out the Homemade Belt Sanders and Grinders category if you have not already. You can also start a new discussion in the Help Me Build... subforum dedicated to the belt grinder build.

Making knives with your grandsons sounds like a lot of fun :thumbsup:

Welcome to the forums, oilmania! :welcome: There are lots of belt grinders here to get ideas from, including constructing your own contact wheels.

Hi oilmania,

Welcome! :welcome:

The knifemaking project sounds like fun. My grandpa only ever took me fishing! :cool:

What sort of knives are you planning to make?
