Very nice. Very similar to the Wolverine Jig I use….

Very sharp! Well, not too sharp, you might cut yourself!

I was thinking about the same thing. I like you cannot see spending $70+ for the basic jig. Not to mention the other accessories that you need to go along with it.

Great way to solve the problem. Good luck with the turning.

Hey this looks like an awesome idea…...maybe I can persuade myself to sharpen my tools now and get back to turning !

this does make life much easier!

Wow – this jig looks like simplicity itself! I’ve seen much more complicated jigs on various sites – so it’s fantastic to see yours and realize it doesn’t have to be quite as challenging as I was fearing.

Thanks for this tip Darryl. I’ve made myself one, now. Yeah, about 10 minutes work, not counting waiting for the glue to dry and yes, it does work really well, at least for the gouges.

Mine didn’t quite fit under the wheel of my grinder but I found that even when clamped slightly offset, it works just as well, as long as the tool fits into the V which is placed directly in line with the grinder.

Got any tips for parting tools & skews?

-- If you can't joint it, bead it!

yep, I made one of these out of scrap earlier this year, works like a charm… if only we could talk our wives into letting us spend the money we saved.

This is one of those ideas where you step back and slap yourself and say why didn’t I think of that? Simple but very functional. Great idea there bud, Thanks for sharing.
