Inevitable had to sell one of my two wheel babies to fund my new hobby

Machines were delivered Monday, build a werks-hoekie which was finished on Sunday. Installed the machines, lights, etc

This will become your retirement job. You will spend more time in that place than you think.
Well done and good luck

Congratulations and welcome. Happy to see you bought the best machines availible in the market today. Once you use these machines designed and built by Jaco de Kock, nothing else will do.

Thank you everyone, - judging by the quality of the knives I've seen on this board, I'll definitely ask LOTS of questions and guidance.

WTF?

First tries?
Damn it took me many many tries to get a grind half that smooth....

Lekker workshop you have there.

Thanks Bud - it is a case of beginner's luck, it likely will end up in a totally different direction hahaha

Ha ha ha.. Good luck and enjoy the journey.
