Models for grinding HSS Lathe Tools

Mikey’s models are making their rounds. The feedback has been very good from all that have had them. The list is getting short so if your on the list and have not had them yet you are likely next.
If you have been following this thread and have note put your name on the list now is a great time to do so.

Again, Mike, thanks for putting this together for all our benefit.

You're welcome, Jeff. It's been a fun thread and seeing you guys grind and enjoy your tools has made all the work worthwhile.

My little shop extension has reached the stage where everything, including my grinder, is buried or inaccessible so I cannot grind the shear tool yet but I have not forgotten. I will get to it and post the results here when I do.
 
I also want thank you guys again! I never posted pictures and well I do have a couple but can not figure out how to get them from my phone to the computer, that and a lack of time. I have spent my free time dreaming up a 2x72 grinder that will not require any welding. the grand plan for no welding is because it will be a challenge for my mind and may help someone else with no welder just a mill and possibly a lathe. So far things appear promising, I have the main body figured out and am working on the tensioner arm. I need to get more steel to continue but I hate to go back to the local welding shop because he offered to sell me his carbide grinder for $100.00. Its behind a bunch of stuff so I couldn't see it real well but it appears to be a Baldor. I'm torn on that deal and probably should get it or regret it later. Any input on that? The belt grinder would continue either way.
 
I say get it, you can never have too many tools:encourage:
 
Automotive serpentine belt tensioner, not sure what application, but there are some wide ones.
