Hey I'm a part time acoustic guitar builder and I play around with any project that interests me such as knives, self made machines and leatherwork. I also love to weld anything that I can weld

I'd love to see some examples of "self-made machines". Sounds fascinating.

On reflection I think I misunderstood. By "self-made" you meant "homemade". I interpreted it as the tool made itself. My mistake.

It's not as dumb as it sounds. Folks often claim the lathe is the only tool that can replicate itself although I find that hard to believe. To my knowledge nobody has ever managed to do it.

Yeah lol I didn't think about how that sounds. " wow machines that build themselves". Lol anyway I am gathering equipment right now to start building a 2x72 sander for knife grinding.

This reminded me of the self-making machines in the transhumanist concept of intelligence explosion.

A belt grinder, by comparison, should be no problem. This link might help: Homemade Belt Sanders and Grinders - HomemadeTools.net
