Installing a large treadle powered grindstone

In which we take an old sandstone grinding wheel and put it to work in our smithy using custom made lignum vitae bearing and a simple frame mounted to the timber frame. Having used the stone in the natural with a water bath, we found it very slow at removing material, as most natural stone wheels are. To make it more practical for us we attached some 60grit sandpaper to the wheel and now it removes material at a great speed.
