Found this barely used grinder for sale for 40 bucks. Guy said he used it once. It didn't have any tool rests. Found some plans online to make your own and that's what I did today. I'm going to mount the whole shebang on a plywood base and when I want to use, I'll just clamp it my bench. I have no intention of sharpening lathe tools on it. I just didn't have one and I think it might come in handy. The tool rest is solid as a rock hoping it works well.

I made my circular slot a little longer for a little more adjustability.
