Anything to report?

Not much yet. It is still in the box. I didn't get any feedback here,
but
have been reading on-line, and have decided that the water
wheel grinder is what I want and need, but now need to make or buy
accessories to shape and hone bowl gouges. That is my aim.
I'll report here in a few days. Priority project is getting my
antique "hobby" metal turning lathe restored and running.
Might be able to use that lathe to clone a "Tormek" style
grinding jig. When I hand sharpened one of my el-cheapo
bowl gouges, it was so cool! But it took half an hour, and
only lasted less than half an hour on the lathe. Shesh!
