Any tips or good links for doing this? (other than keep your fingers and face away from the stones and practice with an old wedge) ;-)

Get a ping wedge and ask them to grind it .. only about less than 20 a head.

Callaway C-grind.. is available now :)

Wear rawhide leather work gloves and safety glasses. You can get practice iron and wedge heads from golfsmith or buy thrashed old clubs from Goodwill/Salvation Army. Go to Tom Wishon's website for basics. It's really not that hard to do. I just practiced a little before I tried it on my good wedges. Or just go on ebay and find a nice 60* Trinity Golf wedge. They are identical to eye 2 lob wedges (except those were 58* originally, I think). You can get up and down out of a ball washer with one of those.

What kind of grinder did you buy? Can a retard (me) do it?

I just have a plain old 1/2 hp bench grinder from Lowes. Cost about $80.00. You can also get the various buffing/polishing wheels and compounds to pimp out your irons (um... refurbish, that is) at the end of the season.

If you can rub your tummy and scratch your head at the same time, you should be okay. Just wear the gloves (the metal gets hot fast) and as Norm Abrams says, "Always weah youah protective eyegeah..."
