Lol thanks for the advice, that's a very old picture.... well months old. My grinder is suuuuuuper smooth, not a matching stand, I built mine, the tube is drill pipe, and the base that's anchored to the floor is a pipe flange, oil field stuff I brought home from work. I did read something about the company that the grinders were 60s era, they very well could have made earlier versions.
If you look closely on the shelves about where the chainsaw is and the mineral spirits jug is, is the other guard, it's a home brew job, I got the grinder from an old man that sold me the atlas lathe, he's got bad to the bone drill press I've been eyeing, big ol floor model with a BIG table
