Belt grinder part 6: Hinge brackets and stand

Показать описание

Here, I make the grinder stand -- which seemed like it would be the simplest and fastest of all of the parts so far, but ended up taking far longer than expected due to "scope creep", extreme heat in the garage, and several side projects. Thanks for your patience.

Oh!, I'm now officially retired (as of June 30), so hopefully I'll be able to spend more time in the garage hobby shop -- which is now MUCH more inviting with a newly installed A/C and insulation.
