Grindstone Plans

I would also like information on this. I also have an old grindstone that needs a base.
Thanks

I read a book recently that had sketches and a description of a wooden framed sandstone grinding wheel. I believe it was:

The complete woodworker / edited by Bernard E. Jones. Berkeley, CA : Ten Speed Press, c1998. c1998.
Subjects Woodwork.
ISBN: 1580080154 (pbk.) :
Description: viii, 408 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.
Notes: “1st Ten Speed Press ed., 1980”—t. page verso.
Includes index.

It is a reproduction of the original book which was published in 1917. I checked it out from my local library.

Thanks dimckirdy, I also found a sketch in the book COUNTRY FURNITURE by Aldren A. Watson (copyright 1974 isbn 0-690-00190-8) on page 103. This is a hand cranked model, i am looking for a foot operated one. I will check out the one that you found when i find the book. I was hoping i could find a plan with some measurements, but i guess i will have to draw up of my own.

I think I saw one in The Woodwright’s Shop on one episode not long ago. I saw nothing on his site, but if you cantact him, maybe he can help. On his site, he has a very extensive list of resources.
