Dave is right, this forum is the best deal I have found! That said once again I must ask for help and tap into the storehouse of knowledge. When digging through my boxes of stuff, I found a ShopSmith tool sharpener. It is a small table top grinder. I didn't know ShopSmith sold anything like that. I have attached a photo for everyone to look at. Have any of you ever seen anything like this?

Thanks,

Jon

Thanks everyone! Now I will be working on getting my shop organized and putting my new toys to use. I am a little bit concerned after reading the thread, "how do you guys do it?". Keeping things neat, clean and organized will require mental discipline. Playing with my toys is much more fun! Oh well, none of us is perfect. :rolleyes:

Perfection is a lofty goal. Few attain it! Those that think they have - - - are at least one attribute short of it!;)
