    It's a beautiful building (mausoleum), trying to preserve the dying art of literacy. I think that it is a worthy endeavour.

    Affordable grinding/sanding implements?

    I know a couple of guys who own these units and they are quite happy with them. IMHO, It seems like a pretty solid little grinder for the price.

    I have a spring from a Little Giant hammer that might work for you. It looks similar to the spring in the video.
