Neo-Tribal Grinding
This fellow was in the market, sharpening kinves. I really dug his home made grinder. I've seen pedal grinders before, but they were always belt driven. This one uses the original tire against the arbor/axle. Sorry this one's a little blurry--the rest are better. A closeup of the mechanism |

Necessity is the mother of invention. Just goes to show you how a fellow can get by on next to nothing and make something out of junk. Heck, I do it all the time. I have a bunch of junk |

Re: Problems with pictures
I think the problem is with Photopoint. I cannot even access their website. The pictures were there, honest--I saw them, so did Kevin and Max. Keep trying back. Also my Oaxaca smithing pictures are gone as well--all through Photopoint (and I'm a paying subscriber.) |

Re: Photopoint back up
Really neat Dana, wonder how many tools could be made using man/bike power. There is a retired tool and die maker around here that attends craft shows. He uses a bike pedaled home made metal lathe to make whistles, small key charm pears, apples out of brass. The lathe is slow turning and the tooling is hand held much like a wood lathe. The tooling are made from high speed steel bits held in wood handle. |

Re: Neo-Tribal and Healthy too
There's not many endeavors that are fulfilling, potentially profitable, just plain fun, and good for your heart too. Got to make one of these grinders. I don't have the discipline to exercise regularly, but with with a bicycle grinder....hmmmm. |
