I made this last night with scraps I had lying around the shop. I did go to Farm and Fleet and pick up a slow speed grinder. The sharpening jig was inspired by the one made by John Robertson. I ordered his PDF file for under $5.00. It was helpful for some basic measurments. I found that the measurements in his drawings are a little different for the skews if you are using an 8" grinder verses a 6" grinder, but they are not that hard to figure out. I used the jig on all my chisels, full size and mini tools. It works fantastic and it is QUICK! Well, here it is, it's not as pretty as a wolverine jig, but it works.

I am glad I took the time to make it! My chisels have NEVER been this sharp.
