    Hey from LA (Lower Alabama)

    I am a retired HS shop teacher that in my semi-retired life started a small gunsmithing business. I enjoy the machine work and have made shop tools to suit my need for years. I some how came across this site and love to see all of American Ingenuity. I've been searching for a home made tool post grinder for my lathe. Needed to turn a pilot on a 31/64 twist drill bit.

    Hi dcunningh - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

    Lots of retired and semi-retired folks here. Are there any existing tool post grinder builds that you're eyeing?
