Making a Set of Riser Feet for the Surface Grinder

Today we're making a set of aluminum riser feet for the surface gringer, because I'm too tall to use it, apparently. The wood blocks it has been sitting on are slowly crushing under the weight, and the machine will not stay level, so we're going to fix it once and for all today. We'll cut some hunks of aluminum round and turn up some pretty feet for the big girl.
