Bench Grinder Repurpose and Mail Haul

[@Uwannawatch]

Hello Mr. Bill! Isn't that a rule ? Need has nothing to do with buying something cool. Fantastic work and that is gonna be a great user for the small jobs. I'm glad you can enjoy the manuals and I can't wait to show everyone what you sent me. Take care and I'll catch up with ya later.

[@rollerbald]

Thank George! You are definitely ' the man'! I really appreciate your support!

[@toolscouter]

Very nicely done on that grinder. It did need to be taken down some. It was so confining. Thanks so much for sharing and have a good one.

[@rollerbald]

Thanks @ToolScouter! It has already proven to be very useful. Appreciate you being here - I enjoy your channel! Regards, Bill.

Nice modification and great custom piece for your shop! It will be handy to have a smaller piece for light duty work. And that Navy manual is so cool, that will be a fun read!

[@rollerbald]

Hi Melinda! Thanks for the comment! That Navy manual is way cool but is definitely not light reading. 😁But it is great for hard core radio geeks like me!

[@jt9498]

Nicely done. Great modification into something more useful.

[@rollerbald]

Thanks for the view and comment JT. Really glad to have you aboard! Regards, Bill.

Real nice job turning into something you can use. Thanks Bill

[@rollerbald]

Thanks Michael! I have already been using the little wire brush unit and it work great for smaller pieces which is most of my work. Appreciate the view and comment!

Great modifications Bill. George is a very generous guy. Some of the stuff he has sent me over to Australia is beyond belief. I did a very similar thing as you when I was still able to work in the shed. I had an old powerful grinder that was left to me by my dad which has the wire wheel and fibre wheels,on it. I also have another grinder, strictly for grinding, so swapping out wheels is less of a chore. Totally enjoy your content mate.

[@rollerbald]

Hi Shedman! Welcome back, always great to hear from you from down under! I am sure glad that you watch my videos and comment. G'day mate, best to you, Bill.

[@91Z50]

What a great idea! Should be very useful, thanks for sharing

[@rollerbald]

Good to hear from you again Jeff! Thanks for the view and comment. Stay tuned, I have some interesting projects coming up soon! Best regards, Bill.

[@frankg3072]

Very nice modification Bill. 👍

[@rollerbald]

Thanks Frank! Always good to hear from you, regards, Bill.

[@bigvicsworkshop]

Excellent Job modifying that bench grinder! If they would had them made like you modified that one..I bet they sold more! Mr. George hooked ya up! He's a ok a fella 🤠👍

[@rollerbald]

Thanks Vic! I have been using that little grinder for wire brushing small items and it works great. George is one of a kind - a great guy. Thanks for being here, Bill.

[@markmerideth8830]

That is a great idea!! I should do something similar. Great looking outcome you got there too. Well done! That Radioman Navy manual from George looks awesome

[@rollerbald]

Thanks Mark! The U.S. Armed Forces took their radioman training very seriously and for good reason. Thanks for watching and commenting, Bill.

[@blackbearhiker1420]

Nice work as usual! I had the complete electrical/electronic training manuals the Navy had, they were outstanding! They ended up someplace else sadly.

[@rollerbald]

Thanks Hiker! This manual that George sent is much more complete than the Army manual I have. There is a wealth of information in that book and I love it. Thank for the view and comment - great to hear from you again, Bill.

[@yadda_tools]

Cool. I have two similar grinders.

[@rollerbald]

Thanks for the view and comment Lyndon! Those little grinders are handy for light work for sure. I hope you will come back often, Bill.

[@beerdrinker6452]

Nice video.

[@rollerbald]

Thanks beerdrinker! Always good to hear from you. The little wire wheel setup is working well for light duty. Best to you, Bill.

[@rolsenn]

You need to keep that book of trig functions with you at all times. You never know when you'll need to look up the cosine of 37.62 degrees!

[@rollerbald]

Absolutely right Richard! None of these newfangled gadgets like calculators for us! Seriously I love those old technical books and I know you do too Mr. Slide Rule Man. 😁

[@Dalesworkshop]

That a great idea. It was butt ugly with that tan color, The grey makes it pop. Very nice job Bill. and you will enjoy using it. I have one I picked up this summer I need to decide what to do with. George seems to buy stuff just to send to people He has generosity plus.

[@rollerbald]

Thanks Dale! I have already been using it for small items, nuts, bolts, washers, and small tools. George is a credit to our community for sure. I love the way he welcomes newcomers like me.

[@Alex.T80]

Отличная робота! С Уважением! 👍

[@rollerbald]

Thank you Alex! Please come back often. Best regards, Bill.

[@AndyM.]

GREAT MINDS THINK A LIKE!!!! I TOO am 'modifying' an old bench grinder too! I sure hope the one I clean up looks as 'kool and the gang' as yours you magnificent b@stard!

[@rollerbald]

Thanks Andy! Be sure to make a video of your modification - I would be interested to see what you do. Best, Bill

[@AndyM.]

@@rollerbald will do ghost rider!

[@Redial2416]

Forgive my ignorance, but I am not familiar with the "fiber wheel", could you please explain what it is made of?

[@rollerbald]

Bill, if you google 'fiber wheel grinder' you will get lots of hits. I'm not sure of the composition but you can get varying grits. They are very useful for preliminary polishing and if you want a nice matte finish you can stop after using the fiber wheel. Thanks for the view and comment. Regards, Bill.

[@roberthoug7864]

Both small grinders don't have enough power to blow your nose hell when you use a 8-inch grinder it's not enough power Eagle Upper Peninsula MI Carnivore and don't take me wrong I do the same thing that you're doing just the way it is with us guys we like to clean stuff up and make them look good

[@rollerbald]

Thanks for watchin the video and commenting.

[@roberthoug7864]

I guess I came over from George's video I guess that's what his name was they're watching him for a while I don't pay much attention to the names but I get a charge out of you guys that clean stuff up to the max and then all you're going to do is dirty it up again anyway what's the purpose oh for the video I'm sorry I knew that eagle

[@rollerbald]

Thanks for watchin the video and commenting.

[@roberthoug7864]

It sure would be cool if somebody would come up with a saying better than guys hey guys guys this guys that guys don't get me wrong I am one of those guys but everybody uses guys hey folks hey people hey something besides guys Constantly all videos are the same hey guys

[@rollerbald]

Hi Robert, thanks for viewing and commenting. Now, make a video for us and show us how it should be done!

[@westhighlandsshop]

Great mod Bill, I'm sure you will get tons of use out of this. Sure looks better too! Can't wait to see you explain Trigonometry to us!🤣🤣🤣🤣 😴😴 George @uwannawatch always comes up with the goods for everyone!

[@rollerbald]

Hi David! The little grinder has been very useful already - I like it a lot. I have forgotten most of my high school and college math so I will not be holding Trig classes! 😁I sure like those old technical books though - just think they are neat!
