Looks good, I have one myself and was told by an elderly neighbor that you want the stone to spin away from you. Not sure if it makes a difference besides keeping some of the water off you but just figured I would pass the information along. Thanks for the video

[@ironleatherwood1357]

She is correct! Dryer, safer and more control.

Thanks!

People are told many things. From Mitchell's "Grindstones and Grindstone Fixtures" it doesn't really matter until you get near the end of your work, in which case they recommend running the stone into the edge so you don't produce too much of a burr and are more able to observe your edge because of it. However in my opinion until you do get near the end, it is much safer and cleaner to run it away from the edge.

My grandfather had one a lot like this; it sat in a stone trough that had a little natural spring running through it to cool and lubricate. He sharpened farm tools with it in the 1920's - 1940's. The little building it sat in was always dark and cool. What a nice memory.

[@ChopWithChris]

Sounds wonderful!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Chris, great find and keeping it in the family too. That’s something to cherish. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

[@ChopWithChris]

Glad you enjoyed it

I just got the stone only from my wife's old family farm. They couldn't find the frame anymore, but I figure I can fabricobble something together to get it up and running again. Looks like fun! :)

[@ChopWithChris]

Good luck!

[@ARagedTaco]

Any luck with your diy frame? Im about to attempt the same with an old limestone wheel of mine that has only enough frame to keep it standing up.

[@byal9000]

@@ARagedTaco Sadly, not yet. That project got sidelined for other things. I'm hoping to pick it back up later this spring though. Finally. :)

[@uncledavesfrontier6846]

Thats a great find Chris. Love it!

Thanks!

And I remember a scene from my childhood, how a peasant walks down the street, carries on his shoulder the same sharpener with a foot drive, and shouts to the whole neighborhood: "I sharpen knives, scissors .."

[@ChopWithChris]

Nice!

[@AhmetCnarOzuneUyans]

We still have that a bit here in Turkey. Especially in local bazaar areas, where there are döner restaurant (they use long knives)

That's a really nice find at your uncle's place. I have restored 2 so far and the bigger one of the two is over 3 feet in diameter. It came out of a old sawmill that operated till the early 80s. I have placed it in my blacksmith shop.

[@ChopWithChris]

Wow! That’s amazing!

I have some questions about your grinding stones. Would you mind emailing me or vise versa? My email is [e-mail]

Let me know if you got my email comment. I am not sure if KZbin filters thee out. I have some questions about your grinding stones.

What could be better?

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Chris, you could make a water pan out of wood to hold the water without spilling it out all over the floor.

[@ChopWithChris]

It definitely needs a pan!

[@shaunbarrickman6339]

That’s perfect for you!

[@ChopWithChris]

No doubt!

[@melkel2010]

My dad hung an old tire cut as a trough under the family grindstone, suspended with some coat hanger wire, and fill that with water and the stone is always wet during the ginding.

[@ChopWithChris]

Perfect!!!

[@johnkoltes4904]

Any chance you could take a video of the completed frame and describe metal sizes and lengths. Thnx.

[@ChopWithChris]

Email me your question. My email is in the info section of my page.

[@elvispusley3515]

I think a washer goes on before the cotter key due to the wear on the piece the key goes in

[@ChopWithChris]

Thanks!!

[@aleveraj]

If I may make a tiny suggestion: 6:50 put a somewhat thick washer between the lock pin and the arm, to avoid more wear on the round bar. Regards from Chile!!

[@ChopWithChris]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@davidgraf1909]

If it hasn’t been said, you probably will wand to put a washer inside of the cotter pin. They can be soft. Also seems like a lot of water. Pretty neat tool though.

[@ChopWithChris]

Thanka

[@faramund9865]

My grindstone seems to lack a flange and a bolt to secure the stone to the shaft. So the previous owner just wedged it and used PUR foam to secure it... Would love to see you show what the flange actually looks like. Apparently you oughta loosen it, put the highest point on top and tap on the top of the stone to make sure its center and runs true. But obviously I can't because mine is foamed and wedged in place.

[@ChopWithChris]

can you send me a picture to my email address in my channel details?

[@dinomartinez7372]

Where can I get the bushings / bearings that ho connected to the wheel ,which the rods are attached

[@ChopWithChris]

Not sure. McMaster Carr maybe

[@jimargeropoulos8309]

Do you make any attempt to true the wheel?

[@ChopWithChris]

I have on other stones but this one is pretty good.

[@JamesWorld760]

Love it where did u get the frame please replay or where can I get a print for one

[@ChopWithChris]

Frame of what?

[@JamesWorld760]

For the wheel the metal.frame. or did.you make it

[@ChopWithChris]

The grinding wheel and frame came from my uncles farm. I’m afraid I do not have a print. It is actually a little flimsy and the stone oscillates from side to side when peddling so if you build one yourself be sure to reinforce it.

[@JamesWorld760]

Ok thank you love your channel by the way

[@jpungello]

Where can I get a new one

[@ChopWithChris]

Farm auctions, eBay
