My friend does bevels like OP with a sander like this....

In the 4th photo, you can see that the 36" belt sander has a small guiding platform. My friend's setup has a larger DIY platform and a 45" guiding block that's attached to a slide on the platorm. Once he marks the bevel in pencil, he dials in the distance on his guide and slides it.
I think a mounted edge router would be much faster but he makes do just fine.
Yep, this one to be specific.

noice, my wife bought me a sweet table sander on amazon that I used to shape my rests https://www.amazon.com/WEN-6502-36-Inch-6-Inch-Sander/dp/B00NAXSYT8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468878654&sr=8-1&keywords=wen+table+sander
The resin on the surface is uneven?
Are you doing a lot of this? Then you might want to buy what I bought
It'll take off a few MM of resin in about 20 seconds.
I think you also learned a lesson about, "Practice on one piece first, until you learn what you're doing." Also, here's a polishing tutorial
you can buy this bench sander for the same price and it won't be all used up. and ryobi is about the same level of quality.
I got WEN 6502 4 x 36-Inch Belt and 6-Inch Disc Sander with Cast Iron Base
Maybe not the best one but good enough for a weekend warrior.

well it really depends on what size the knife is and what size the grinder is. I have a Six inch Hico bentch grinder and You cant properly shape anything bigger then about a overall length of 9 inches you end up bumping into the other disk. also you risk injury trying to grind something bigger and I have the scars to show it.
you can get wheels between at least 46 and 120 grit. i think i have seen 150 grit wheels but am not sure on that.
However you can get a small belt sander starting at about 92.04 on amazon. It's the same thing as a belt grinder, it just depends on the type of grit used for the belts.
Here is a link to that 92.04 plus tax belt sander. It also has prime free shipping so you can get it in two days. https://smile.amazon.com/WEN-6502-36-Inch-6-Inch-Sander/dp/B00NAXSYT8/ref=lp_552882_1_1?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1474260263&sr=1-1
hope this helps keep on making.
