I an happy that I inspire you Mike. I think we can learn a lot of things from old times.
In Sweden we have a producer of a modern grinder type what your picture show. Tye name is: Kirunaslipen. Search onnthe name and you will find their homepage.
I prefer big diameter grinding wheel and water below ghe wheel...but when you build that waterkeeper, sont forget to empty it after every time you use it... If wheel like this stands in water - they broke the stone as in your picture...
I like koncept innovations. When a product go out ro the market the product shall be ready for it - and constructed in that way that it can grow with new equipment and new functions. I se today new sharpening tools that are presented to the market long time before they are ready for the market (in my mind).
When I constructed my tool Chef I made more then 200 prototypes and tested all of them hard before I see Chef as ready for the market. Today I se a lot of prototypes (in my mind) on the market.
A turning wheel is a old good funktional method for sharpening, most people knows that. What I would like to se is this old method - combined with modern materials. You think leather wheel and modern belts, good, I like that. Why not a diamond surface indifferens microns?
Can the wheel be made in aluminum and have a smaller wheel as expansion?
Du your really need water to your tool? (Water in your whisky instead)?
Can you use a engines what type? How strong? Shall the engin be on ghe small or on the big wheel?
If you use two wheels - build a slack part for convex edge sharpening - or perhaps a oval wheel?
I can give you many questions about how to combine old knowledge with new materials and new functions. And of cause - think it thru, dont start with a prototype onnthe market, please
Can I be to any help in your projekt, just ask.
I have constructed a lot of tools and I have many misstakes, and learn from them - and I prefer the monkey method = sucsess by a lot of failur
