I use an angle grinder with a cut off wheel for rough shape (not for much longer, I see a nice band saw in my near future) I then finish up on my belt grinder. I don't have small wheels for it, so I get as close as I can on the edge of the platen on the inside curves, then use a spindle sander to finish them. We all make do with what we have, until we get what we want. My first couple knives were made with a hacksaw, bench grinder, and files. This is the only hobby I've ever had that pays for it'self. I've been able to acquire a shop full of good tools and a nice kiln. Have a mill being delivered Monday. Good luck, and stick with it Sam!
