    Hi Guys:
    Thanks for the welcome. My current project is a stand for a drill sharper. I did break off from that to make a quick and dirty fixture to grind the welds on band saw blades on the surface grinder, because a friend wants me to shorten some blades. My spelling is terrible and my typing is not much better, so it takes me a while for me to post. At my age about an hour at a time in the shop, maybe twice a day makes projects go pretty slow.

    Thanks Again
    Jim
