Really wish I had grandpa's big old peddle turned stone. Looked what those are bringing these days. Ouch. His even had the water can on it. I'll have to wait until the new shop is set up this spring. Something tells me its in my best interest to help the wife get settled in the new house before I worry about the shop :D

Sorta like this one, but probably with a bigger stone? :lol: This one would do the job! It lives in my shop but doesn’t get used much.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

Yep, bigger stone. I just remember grandpa not liking the electric bench grinder because of heat. I still have his "thistle spade" with a good edge.

Ken,

That is a great rig. Wish I lived closer so I could talk you out of it!

Those old farm stones can still do their job if they didn’t develop a soft spot from being left in water for decades.

It has been found that most of those wheels came from two different quarries that both mined the Berea Sandstone that was used. They turn up all over North America because Sears, Montgomery Ward and other similar suppliers shipped them from catalog sales.

Thanks Kevin. Wish I could take credit for it but it was my dad’s, so I wouldn’t part with it anyway. It was among many things in his shop that I transferred to mine after he passed. I don’t know when, where, or how he acquired it. It looks “homemade “ but although he was certainly capable of doing so, I don’t think he made it. ::shrug::

This was brought to me today to be sharpened. The owner was rather nonchalant when I quoted a price to repair the damage.
