        Been badgering away at it, needed to make a jig to turn it into a sharpening tool.

        Euro cents make handy bushes

        Turned a bobbin to take the drive shaft....

        And then cut some shafts off an old fork to hold the grindstone

        Getting there slowly

          Brilliant idea with the 4 candle Zigs. I chucked an old shovel in the bin today - it's coming out of the bin tomorrow !

                Taken a bit of farting around, changing things and getting a feel for how it works, but getting there :phew:

                        Now, you know that's not what I meant! :biggrin:

                        You could do a lot worse job wise. It pays well, the draw back is the early start. :)

                          85k winds ripped mine off the side of the house and broke it wide open. It's 20f and wind gusts up to 97k.

                          picked up most of the contents and brought them inside. Broken containers and lots of other upsetting things. In the pitch dark trying to salvage is nasty. Turned part of the main body down onto the deck in hopes of stopping more damage. . Thinking about temporarily storing the contents on OH's side of the bed as he didn't lift a finger to help...:mad:

                            I'm sorry to hear you've had all that damage Lori. :sad: Let's hope you can retrieve some of it to re-build.

                              Oh,no. Did this just happen? I know a Canadian cold front is heading this way but I didn't know it was going to be an event.
