Wanted Sharpening Jig

[Dorno]

Hi Everyone
I am just looking for plans to make a sharpening jig. Does anyone have any or put me in the direction of any ? Till I learn to do them by eye.

Thanks Ian

There are several if you do a search on Google. Here is a pretty good one that I just found. I built my first setup by looking at several home built and than using ideas from them.

Most people end up buying a Oneway Wolverine set up eventually. Yep, I did also. But, I used my homemade one for several years.

I just finished making one and posted some info about it in this same forum here:

I used metal and jb-weld and it's pretty much the same thing as a wolverine jig. Is this close to what you have in mind?
