    A great beginners' hone, I figure, and a total steal at only $15,400.

    I actually have two, one for full hollow grinding and one for half hollow (i didn't realize it was adjustable until after I ordered them) can be a little tricky to work a first but easy as our once you get the hang of it. Just be careful of where you are putting your fingers.

    p.s. Oh hahaha Of course I'm only kidding, not only do I not have room for that kind of contraption in my house I am actively saving up for a simple shapton 16k which I feel I'll never have the money for lol

    The important question is who here can build one for less then $50 and post the plans quickest.

    Brake Drum forge, salvaged motor buffer and belt sander, diy hollow grinder....
    A poor man's straight razor shop would be wonderful.

    I probably should delete this thread so that a good buddy in the twin cities doesn't see it.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I thought if I got one of these I could screw up hundreds of razors in just hours.
