All of the larger pulleys cost significantly more and offset the savings from using the in hand motor as well as mucking up the design. Then if I came across a more appropriate motor all of the money spent on special pulleys is wasted. Shopping for used motors now.
    I can relate to the problem of a large shaft size. Mine has a 7/8" shaft and I had to get a pulley from Canada for $70 ( cast iron) ! But, it should last several life times.

    Tool bar just arrived.

    Had a deal on a motor, but someone beat me to it.

    Did the micarta layup for scales on the razor I made at the meet today. Also started building the receiver for the tool bar today.

    Thanks for posting the pictures. I like the grind of that blade. The black and micarta look sharp.

    I am glad I got to see your grinding process at the meet.
