Pat,
Had the thought occured to me I might have done just that. You will be
surprised at all the uses you can find for a bench grinder when it is
just sitting on your counter. Of course there were probably times when
restoring the TR6 got in the way of simple household chores like doing
the dishes. Like the times I was using the sink to clean the grease
from various parts.
No garage, no wife, no problem.

Aaron, from the tenor of the other comments on this list about
cleaning, I thought sure you were going to say you cleaned your dishes
with the bench grinder.
