I used the threaded holes on the side of the grinder to attach the follower. The long bolts I welded to the follower is to adjust the distance between the follower 'legs' and the center of the grinding disk. Since the bigwheel and smallwheel have different diameters (obviously), adjusting this distance is necessary.
Hello and welcome to my building blog! With this blog, I'll try to keep a diary of the building process of my own penny farthing bicycle. The goal is to have it ready by spring 2013 so I can take it out of the workshop on a nice and sunny day and take it for a ride in the city of Bruges. Please feel free to leave comments or questions. Since I don't have any previous experience with bike-building, it would be great to get some tips or simply hear from you...

Angle grinder follower tool
As promised: a few pictures of the follower that I made attached to my little angle grinder to follow the outer side of the wheel tubes whilst grinding.
