Full day at the farm
Went out for breakfast at a local restaurant and then came home and Lulu's son and I worked in the forge for six hours. He is making a kitchen knife for Lulu for Christmas and I was setting up my BAG (big-assed Grinder) I use a bench grinder for refining the shape of my knives and the unit I had just lacked the power I needed.
Placed an order at Grizzly Tools for this unit:
G0597 10" 1.5 HP Heavy-Duty Bench Grinder.
Holy crap -- this unit took everything I could give it and it never ever faltered or slowed down. A very useful addition to my shop.
We quit work around 4PM and then spent the next hour shooting. There is enough land here that I have a small range -- plinked at targets with a Ruger single-six revolver, a KelTec PMR-30 semi-automatic pistol and my Remington rifle. Everything shoots 22mag so ammunition is cheap. Fired off about 250 rounds -- a lot of fun.
Have a water board meeting tonight so off to that in a few minutes.
