I've got my next project in mind. I'm thinking about ordering one of these wood grinders for this project. I hear they are dangerous. Have any of you used one to shape a large wood project? Any pointers if so?

I want to make one of these for my wall.

Thats badass, I'd guess attach it to a standard 90 degree grinder. Then take great care it didn't kick back and eat my face or other body part.

I would suggest working some off cut scrap first to get the hang of the tool. You are going to have to learn to feel for the right speed and flow to get it like you want.

Dont work with fake boards. I can see splinter shredded OSB or cardboard dust coated everything :D

That's what I'm worried about. From my understanding the grinder is a necessary evil, but it can be incredibly dangerous.

Yeah I think working some smaller spots on garbage wood to get the feel for the tool will really be needed to learn to tame the beast.
