That answers my question from the grinder video (which I saw first), about having the wheel recessed below the top of the enclosure to capture the water droplets. How well does that end up working anyway? Does it catch everything, or do a few droplets still escape? Also, using the same device to polish rocks AND grind chisels, just by swapping out the wheel, is brilliant. Double the use, for only a little bit more engineering! So, have you ever had/used a metal lathe or milling machine? I think you'd make great use of, and really enjoy using, those to make stuff. ...Just don't get sucked in to starting with one of those crummy little 7×## mini lathes. Keep your eyes open for an older lathe that has a Back Gear for decent torque at low speeds. (I started with a little Atlas model 618 - also commonly rebranded and sold under the Craftsman name - and have never looked back.) Cheers!

Douglas, Thanks for your comments and feedback. I was expecting some overspray, but amazingly there was none. The grinding wheel is about 1/8" below the housing and it is able to catch and direct the water downward. You are so right about lathes. I have a 1947 Logan and it is very basic but rock solid. Thanks again, Kevin

Why the heck would you shoot a vertical video?

I have to agree. I had hoped that turning my device to a vertical orientation to match the way it was shot would help. Unfortunately, all that did was shrink the displayed video to the size of a postage stamp. (The same thing happens for every other vertically-shot video too, so it's not just you. KZbin seems to always assume that videos are shot in horizontal format, and anything vertical gets shrunk down to fit on a horizontal monitor/TV.)
