Treadle Grinder
In a previous topic I posted that I'd bought a hand grinder and that I'd had been having trouble getting it to run straight due to a bent drive shaft.
Well...I was mucking around on eBay and I found a 600mm (diam.) x 100mm (W) treadle grinder, located here in Adelaide, that's fairly well perfectly round!
It didn't sell, so after negotiating with the seller, I made a trip to pick it up today. Here's some pics, although given the terrible colour, I'm thinking of repainting it in gun barrel hammer tone.

Does this tool need a water trough? I was going to make a tool rest for it. Any idea why the long steel hook is sticking up at the back of it?

Looks like the face is well used rather than the circumference. Hasn't been used in a shearing shed has it?

There would have been water used either a trough below or as said a drip feed. However the splash guard looks like the water cames from below.
