| 68432 | SSalbWW@a... | Sep-23-1999 | Q: Using a hand grinder. |
Well, I just received a hand grinder in the mail and I tried it out this morning. But I realized by experimenting that I don't know how to use it. (I know, I know, turn the knob and go, right?) OK, I have a few specific questions: 1. Do you turn the wheel toward the iron or away from it? 2. Is there any good technique to use to run the iron along the wheel, left and right? 3. I tried making the wheel square with a rock-like rod I bought from Woodcraft, but didn't seem to make any progress. . . hmmm, any ideas? AND 4. Any ideas on the easiest way to make a foot treadle? Thanks! -Shannon | |||
