I've changed the grind on my wedges several times with a disc grinder with a 4 inch disc, a sand paper flapper wheel, and a buffer.

They always looked and performed like I wanted when I was finished. I've been working with metal my whole life but I think anyone with a few tools and a little bit of skill and knowledge of what they wanted could do it. I would probably practice on an old club I didn't care about the first time.

only power tools I have is power drill. I would love to do it myself but I don't have any tools to work with.

I've never ground any wedges but you will probably want an angle grinder.  You can find a cheap one at Harbor Freight, Northern Tools or a Pawn Shop.  One can be had for less than $20.

    • I’m not sure I’m following you. My current plan is to take the bunkers out of play completely and hit something like a 6i to 130-150 range.
    • Day 139- Slow, swings with short practice club. 
    • You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.
    • Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green. 
    • I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
