Last summer I fixed my neighbor's lawnmower.  when it quit they left it sitting out in the weather.  so when it was repaired I suggested I clear a space in their garage for it. In the process I acquired a bunch stuff that was detailed in a post back in June.  One of those items was a working bench grinder.

It is nothing special.  Probably from Home Depot as that is where my neighbor worked.  I recently made some parts, ignition coil brackets, for my motorcycle "Project 39-1/2".  The brackets are aluminum and they were saw cut and belt sanded into shape, and they were cut from used aluminum.  I was thinking of how to clean them up when I realized I had this grinder and also had some polishing wheels. 
Anyway, this is what I ended up with.  It's been cleaned and rubbed with linseed oil.  It will clamp into a vise so it can be put away until needed.

These are the brackets - one is partially polished, the other is as it came from the saw and sander.

Hello, Al. Looks great!!

Good going.   When I see tools left out and getting rusty, makes my gut churn, do they mean so little to some people?
