Good job , I'll be doing something similar pretty soon. And thanks for the full size pics

for me, anyhow! It's a new toolrest for my old style Jet 8" grinder, shamelessly copied from the Veritas. It's got an extra-large table, so when I finish the South Bend lathe bit holder, I can do a decent job of sharpening.

And the best part is, I only had to make one part, twice~!!

Very nice,I also have the Veritas on one wheel and another shop made on the coarse wheel. I made an adjustable protractor from 1/4 " aluminum plate and the arm from 1/2 x 1/2 x 5" aluminum stock.Clamped to the table I can grind most angles accurately.The arm is only fastened at the pivot point and is held tight with a nut, washer and lock washer.
