Without access at that time to welding, this was the quickest and easiest way to build what we needed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528397641676-V8C0PS16IE621HBY4HWF/11146222_641003686030772_6757191626548626459_n.jpg Projects - Base Bracket A piece of 40mm box steel provided the main base bracket for the grinder. Bolting into the base plate, the side plates attach to this bracket and hold the whole machine together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528397880552-2O2AID0QUJT85TGSPZZ6/11083745_641472089317265_4354910352909357600_o.jpg Projects - Final Finishing All the main components of the grinder were given multiple coats of black gloss paint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528397882251-7SA8XHA57MLQHNV5G6P8/11140157_641472092650598_3841916237501824350_o.jpg Projects - Multiple Coats Required In retrospect, the amount we spent on cans of paint was probably excessive and doing this again we will farm out to a 3rd party to either spray professionally or powder coat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528397878430-F6PYQ4A1ONJ50MJWZPOZ/10917119_646404738824000_823940720873953209_o.jpg Projects - Lacquer & Polish Several coats of lacquer and then a final coat of protective polish was added to try and keep the grinder as resilient as possible to rust and scratches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528397878654-MDXC0L7V7NOGD3OLAS41/10514320_646404742157333_8929677451303118391_o.jpg Projects - Finishing Done With all the parts of the grinder fully finished it was time for assembly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528398470970-KYJ4XHDXV8WST2RHXPE6/11214046_657444364386704_4570256141211877409_n.jpg Projects - The Mark I Wayland Belt Grinder We decided to name the grinder after the Norse smith Wayland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528398470091-6ZEYCZA1T0M6AQIOIZ4Y/11060246_657444357720038_4035066163593577579_n.jpg Projects - Flat Platen Configuration The standard set-up for the grinder is an adjustable flat platen precision lapped to a perfect flat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528398468888-K0VT81LJUFYW13ZVV8QZ/11000421_657444417720032_6396715719656084685_n.jpg Projects - Flat Platen The platen can be adjusted and changed to suit the particular grinding task, and the whole grinding head can be angled to suit the user. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528398471936-RKL9YDWZ2QNV0Q899OE3/11256841_657444474386693_2972830761311239831_n.jpg Projects - Tracking Wheel A simple hinge and adjusting screw provides the tracking adjustment for the belt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528398469737-U6CD6Z5VYYVIN48BTGXT/11059529_657444494386691_5414407791721927237_n.jpg Projects - Tilting Base Plate One of our goals was to allow the grinder to be tilted 90 degrees on its side so we could grind horizontally. The grinder is bolted to a base plate that is hinged to a larger plate that can be bolted to the workbench https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528398474382-3JQIO9XAP951HQBOLJ5B/11411816_672391786225295_627268525541174719_o.jpg Projects - The Wayland in Place With the main base plate bolted down, the grinder is shown here in place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528398472360-E5DJT4P89105QS05Z9F7/11234819_687258134738660_3992692409732210851_o.jpg Projects - 10" Wheel For good hollow ground edges, a large wheel is required. We had this 10 inch wheel custom made for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528398476012-AR4K5YD454UXF8J82M96/11722313_681113922019748_6947492862092548114_o.jpg Projects - 4" Wheel Dismantling the original Linisher machine we had gave us this 4 inch wheel that gave us a nice mid wheel option for grinding large curves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528398477165-W8E96FP8B1SMPVE4R2MV/11947928_713912212073252_4798703020006311070_o.jpg Projects - Knife Platen & Rest For flat edge grinds, we made a platen that matches the belt width and a rest that allows us to work the edges without fear of getting the blade stuck in the grinder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528398479544-PVO1N26MK2B7PH0ACUSX/11950297_702633043201169_8490743317376846285_o.jpg Projects - Surface Grinding Platen A wide platen and rest allows us to surface grind blades without the risk of digging into the the belt and creating divots in the steel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528398480935-19IQWRONXKZTAKQ89SV1/12006548_713912205406586_2953490646961251955_o.jpg Projects - More Power The original motor we used was a 1/4 HP motor from an old drill press. When we started testing the grinder it was clear this was not good enough as the torque was too low. We bought this 3/4 HP motor which so far has proved to be quiet sufficient. https://ironwolfengineering.co.uk/knifes daily 0.75 2024-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1527703496693-9HUF21RS05W3AJWPQDCQ/13173293_813012398829899_4988999493214774222_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1527704321657-1AEO1GR3XGDI7AIQVFCM/13246270_813012472163225_726757592247090709_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1527705097251-BMOH6W5TMNAFGNEND6QU/13662105_839493029515169_2458043769923174074_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1527706203063-5BK10KCQVOU5D7N6EKKW/13086766_805981076199698_1061152185617283596_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1529436138553-TUIEW0726E9KSLQPV7WZ/12719247_772219032909236_8664005899965499241_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1532274171249-01DQHORVQHHM9306BUY6/saex.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1729437420907-TXE0DWVKS08BXZ6SQ0AU/IMG_2948.JPG knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/f77c340f-94bc-4de4-955f-26f6526a1d13/IMG_20200219_132316.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1527702767934-IP2S5TCCKSKZPMNW1TXG/13173293_813012398829899_4988999493214774222_o.jpg knives something about the knife https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1533151270278-RWGCTPHD157FFYX1TTQB/Oknife2.JPG knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1533151333588-7TNJD2LJB25A9E3FLJ27/Okife4.JPG knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1527703939794-4IN2JP41N64M5AEPLANZ/13246270_813012472163225_726757592247090709_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1527704102398-EMF42VM5A0O6RJPYG1Z0/14068334_861551817309290_6016575931723744026_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1527704822495-K4U6YAK93W8R438S55TR/13662105_839493029515169_2458043769923174074_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1527706077480-VOP9YLGBW6E5BJHDSF1H/13086766_805981076199698_1061152185617283596_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1527706111371-JTKJ6NBLEE49G66FF25D/13064513_805983106199495_1579186670801659934_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1529435309166-7ZURQW6AKAP9MUAPLRMV/12719247_772219032909236_8664005899965499241_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1529435327608-44OAN6E2T4F10BPIMDK1/12615417_763756740422132_3451017197991170867_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1529435423965-3HMCVVX3N50BF91O5KVJ/image-asset.jpeg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1529435345161-DZ0R76QQQFP18ANLTLEB/12628412_763276800470126_7111549928666071821_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1529435394628-5MZJEP967M63QJ9676AN/11958251_705123616285445_7968609038449497773_o.jpg knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1533151493239-D2W7T9ALA8TPGFUQ6LLI/seax2.JPG knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1533151563297-4Y3Q5KEDAK3XY5ROP36S/seax4.JPG knives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/fd5304b8-36cb-4fe1-aff0-0e286e783d92/IMG_2948.jpg knives -

The Axminster Trade series is a really serious bit of kit. We bought it as a bench mounted drill press but built a custom stand so it would fit into our workshop. The machine is a beast and so far there is no job too big or small this beauty cannot handle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1532377198265-88D3ZEOSJDAAIKKZSR00/Furnace.JPG The Tool's We Use - Vecstar Heat Treating Furnace https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1532377287608-RI0J6JTJLNB3952IJ9W8/Forgehammers.JPG The Tool's We Use - Victory Tools Blacksmiths Hammers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1532377361632-MM8PI4VO8XONC4UDLKKT/BarTwister.JPG The Tool's We Use - Modified Bar Twisting Tool https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1532377799821-A81CWGWJYBU7Q6XTU2BX/Weldingflux.JPG The Tool's We Use - Iron Mountain Welding Flux https://ironwolfengineering.co.uk/thedogsheadworkshop daily 0.75 2018-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528399197360-QN5T1Q53OKQ1OUXAVUKN/21457477_1109245365873266_4394002134360002470_o.jpg the Dog's Head WorkShop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528399197350-5YBVX45UC21MIBY7GK93/21457773_1109249242539545_8441165899110629808_o.jpg the Dog's Head WorkShop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528399199482-QVF0PQAVDABMMQYK71H6/21552058_1109245539206582_3189791620678099321_o.jpg the Dog's Head WorkShop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528399200803-1JCL73G4GLWD4QQHQNF5/28953938_1226645754133226_7412023662688120568_o.jpg the Dog's Head WorkShop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528399194836-B6WQML0L6WQS1B7SJ494/12028728_713912208739919_1849638416518584740_o.jpg the Dog's Head WorkShop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528399195312-X7TWFQUU7JPWR4293Z6F/11717378_687258138071993_306548524722138235_o.jpg the Dog's Head WorkShop https://ironwolfengineering.co.uk/welcome daily 1.0 2018-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1532026921916-W3RQMAP0XIO6BQ3NLYNZ/IMG_2326.JPG Handmade Knives by Iron Wolf Engineering https://ironwolfengineering.co.uk/contactus daily 0.75 2018-07-20 https://ironwolfengineering.co.uk/workshop daily 0.75 2018-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528660395723-033JV5OMK3MQYJ25WE8X/21457477_1109245365873266_4394002134360002470_o.jpg workshop - Dogs Head Workshop   click the image to have a look at our workshop   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1528660882636-98NG8OLJBE1A6N1RX7JS/21457765_1109251952539274_1760816960450221089_o.jpg workshop - Tools We Use click the image to have a look at the tools we use   https://ironwolfengineering.co.uk/about-us daily 0.75 2018-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1532113416725-IP97OHWHLBRKU56T9Z05/image-asset.jpeg About us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0bdc41aa49a1831d525aac/1532113457816-XOFFF5HBO6D0H6E8DPJJ/Capture.JPG About us https://ironwolfengineering.co.uk/read-me daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377096507573-1MU42OOOOGIM9URAJ9D9/515c4225e4b0afec1218b21e.png Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377096775448-0L7B4Q54H1VLOGFF1DPR/synthetica+%2820130821%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377097104716-HDI53XJVV0DKZ24A3T68/51e453dee4b06abd3403c22e.png Read Me
