Hi Chris,
I was finally able to open the 3d file... that is cool.
Am I missing something or can you only see and rotate the image at this point? 
You aren't missing anything. I've not done the drawings yet.
I'll put them together shortly.

No rush... It took me 2 phones and a computer to finally be able to see it. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Jacks superstructure is taller so he could get a longer lever. I couldn't find what he used which is why I ended up with 2"x2" angle iron
That's what I was thinking...You couldn't use a longer crank because of the height of the superstructure. Mine was ripped out of a section of 3 1/2" square aluminum that in another life, had probably been a column support for a carport..I just did a little "surgery" on it on the band saw..
I have a new variable speed 0 to 4,000rpm 1/2hp motor out in the garage that I have never used..I just may make the next grinder/sharpener using that motor to drive 2" wide belts...and in a "triangle" configuration...the slack adjuster/tracker would be a spring loaded idler in the center, making the platen slanted on about a 45* angle...a little more difficult to build, but still doable....Hmmmm..

I saw that earlier, Steve!!!
..Couple years ago, I bought several pieces of Alabama "Raindrop" Damascus blank stock on Ebay, but never used any of it...That knife made me go dig it out and fondle it again. I bought it to make some small carving knives and the picture has me "revved up" to get started on one!!!

Sorry about that.
Unfortunately only Acrobat on a computer (Mac or Windows) will display the pdf in 3D.
No other pdf client will display it.

That's just drool-worthy. Where did you get the blank? What are the scales? They complement the damascus steel perfectly. Love the shape of that knife as well. That may be one of the nicest knives I've ever seen. I want want one!

Just a heads up. I've got to rearrange the shop to make room for a plumber to run a line for natural gas service to my fireplace.
So I'll probably be delayed a couple of days with the drawings.
