You might need to start acquiring some other tools besides a belt grinder. If you are or can get affiliated with a local blacksmith or bladesmith group maybe you could get someone to help you or you might check out the GIB kit from Jamie at www.polarbearforge.com. There is a good blacksmithing group in Mississippi, www.msforgecouncil.com
"IF" you plan to make knives, or for any work involving the need for a 2X72 grinder, you'll NEED (actually "need" vs just "want") a drill press. Get that, then make a grinder. While it make take a bit of learning curve to complete the grinder, those learned skills will be used many times in future knife work.
Oh, how dumb of me (at 74 years maybe I just don't think quite as fast) Raymond Head will supply the frame of the Moe's Grinder with all the holes drilled (so you don't need a drill press) and the welding done (so you don't need a welder). See http://waynecoeartistblacksmith.com/Belt_Grinder_Kits.html
There ya' go - a complete kit with all holes drilled and welding complete for only $750 plus shipping... plus cost of wheels and motor and VFD. Wayne's got it all and full knowledge to help get it going, and a good system it will be.
