Hi James,That will be a great project! I built Harold's advanced grinding rest from the same book. Not sure it was a lot more difficult - if I remember right, the 'advanced' one has dovetails and the 'simple' one has a ball mount. Maybe other differences too. Regardless, it will be a fun project and as mentioned, a very useful tool. I use mine all the time!I'll be following along! Kim
Hi Kim. The advanced rest was tempting but a little more than I really need. The simple one does indeed use a ball mount to manage the front/back and side/side tilt of the table. There is still one set of dovetails to make so not completely off the hook on that front.
Getting everything to size is proving to be a bit of a mission. I'm probably being way to soft on my kit and not taking as big a bites in a pass as I could. Slowly getting more comfortable with the BF20's abilities and taking deeper cuts. But eating up a bit of learning time in the process.
