I began my first day in the machine shop with Gordon. I have been in there for the previous two terms making a belt grinder. It is a unique type of grinder that allows for use in making consistent edges or beveled grinds. It uses a series of wheels and pulleys to spin a belt for grinding.

This grinder has unique applications specifically for making knives, which is why I have chosen to make one. 

I have been putting the final touches on it all day today. I screwed rthe front plate to the grinder, attached the electric motor and wired in a switch and power chord
