I like the "Advanced Grinding Rest" that Harold Hall describes in his book "Milling, A Complete Course". You can see pictures of it at

(By the way don't blame Mr. Hall for that title. It was probably a publisher's decision. "Milling, A Project Based Course for Beginners" would probably have been a better title. I highly recommend the book to beginners.
If you search Amazon for "Harold Hall metal" you will find two similar books. "Milling, A Complete Course" in the Workshop Practice series (published in the UK) and "Milling for Home Machinists" published by Fox Chapel (USA). According to Mr. Hall the books are almost identical with just a few editorial changes to translate from British english to American english. No attempt was made to change the drawings from metric to imperial units.
Of course a search on youtube will bring up a whole list of other grinding tables.
I kinda like the advanced grinder rest that Harold Hall designed and built. Something like this could could be put together rather quickly using cold rolled 1018. My bench grinder could be mounted on a heavy board and have a T track inset into the board out in front of the grinder. That way I could slide the rest assembly from wheel to wheel or quickly remove it when desired . I have a 36 grit on one end and a 60 grit on the other end. Thanks for the idea.
