Mini gloat - Wolverine set up

[hilltopper46]

I got a Wolverine with a Sharp-Fast gouge attachment for my birthday.

I wanted to set it up right, so I made a stand for a bench grinder I bought last spring when it was on sale. I made the stand out of pallet wood and scraps I had lying around, so it isn't that pretty, but I wanted to experiment with the angled legs and am quite happy with how the stand turned out. It's also a nice height for me - about 34 inches off the ground.

Now all I need to do is rearrange the shop to find a corner to shoehorn it into.

Hows the "Sharp Fast" attachment working out for you? I like the design. I have the one that comes with the Wolverine set and it works fine for me. Nice stand and I like the price best of all.

Well, it's early days yet, but I was able to put a nice even edge on a couple old cheap (Harbor Freight?) chisels that I have. I haven't put my Sorby fingernail grind bowl gouge on it yet, but will quite soon.

Nice Birthday present. Congrats.

You will like. Mine has changed my turning tool sharpening from frustrating and not so good to quick and perfect.
Just watch where you are walking when it is set to do a very long bowl gouge.

Yeah right in the corner pocket. Did that this weekend. Sang a song a bit off key and a lot higher than I expected. Big fan of the Wolverine, well sometimes.

What is the attachment you have in the jig in your right hand photo??? Is that for shaping skews??

 

[hilltopper46]

Yes - that's the skew attachment for the wolverine. Not sure it's worth the extra $$ at this point, though. I like a longer 'face' on my skews than it allows.
