Cool! :)  This is my kinda thread. :)

I used a 1" solid steel swamp cooler shaft for my wet grinder, my
uncle gave me the ball bearing type pillow blocks, the 12" iron
pully is a swamp cooler part too.

For sure, but I still have a problem with it if the burr is soft, 
I figure it's a sign of overheating?  If the burr is so thinnly held
on it seems soft but if the steel the burr is made of is still hard 
I'll go along with it being ok.  What do you think?  What are you 
guys finding?  (I'm still doing the final edge by hand)
