Building a shop

Awesome. I'm sure they have some smaller units that would work well for that.

I've been great. Made a big move and some life changes!
Still working on how to move my shop. But it looks promising.

Also I still have that prototype for you. Once I'm up and grinding I'll get it ground.

Sweet, let me know on the knife. I'll send you a message.

There are a bunch of really too notch machines out there for knife makers.

In my opinion there are really two that rise above the rest. The TW-90 (https://traviswuertz.com/?product=tw-90-knife-grinder) and the Northridge tool grinder (http://www.northridgetool.com/).
I don't own either, I just can't justify the expense for a hobby. I have a Reeder (https://reederproducts.com/) which I think is an awesome grinder! There are lots of options out there for grinders. Just remember to buy the one that has ALL the features that you want/need (you want and need variable speed). Buy once, cry once, as they say!!

Also Wilmont grinders just came out with the Quatro... And Chris makes some excellent grinders :)
 
Grinding is really dirty, have a designated space which you can trash with the walls, floor & ceiling electro-magnetized, so you can collect the dust as you work, flip a switch & do clean-up all at once. Work flow from start to finish, with stations, is a good way of working but have more room than you need, as Stacy said. You will fill it up anyway with storage for materials, parts, tooling & finished blades...
