Honing Jig

not sure how this works – could you get a pic in action?

AaronK – basically the clamping screws pull the two blocks together securing the blade, how far from the edge you attach the jig sets the angle and the rollers , er well, roll over the sandpaper so you aren’t sanding your blocks. HTH.

Nice inexpensive solution – and it looks like it probably works about as well as most of the commercial jigs.

Looks like an effective jig to get sharp! I concur with Chris, every bit as good as many commercial jigs. With the 2 wheels its probably more stable than the 1 wheeled aluminum jig from HD.

Looks like a great useable jib.

Nice job! Im sure it makes sharpening a little easier. I need to go ahead and make something similar one of these days. I still just do scary sharp by hand.
