Homemade 2"x72" Belt Grinder

I try to save money where I can but when it came to the idea of having a 2"x72" belt grinder I realized how important this was. Simply put, buying a new manufactured one is not cheap. So i decided to make one instead. After researching through youTube and other sources I came up with my take on a homemade belt grinder.

Very cool. I’m just getting into blacksmithing myself and am planning on making as much equipment as I can to save money.
