Hello fellow KZitem hobby nuts, Apparently this lovable old man had a stroke sometime back with plans on returning to the workshop, I don't think he was able to do so, I dont have all that much time myself, god bless him. I wanted to help people out if building this jig, I was a GM mechanic for 30 years and just made this style set up out of steel. I started by making the the base sliding arm under the grinding wheel, and then made the jig shown here, (the "base arm" spec's to hold this jig are) He states 4 inches lower than the center of the wheel......OK He states 7 inches out front from the face of the grinding wheel.....OK He states 2 inches of chisel extending out of tool...............OK You made the tool "exactly as described" in the online plan Print out....OK After all that your finished grind angle is still off.......WHY ......................."How big is your grinding wheel? I dont mean is it a 6" or 8" inch, I mean as any wheel is used it's exact size is always changing, you need a simple angle (protractor) tool, Make a grind, Read it and adjust your jig, without reading your cut you're just guessing, Hope this helps someone.

I was going to figure out how to make one of these- I have an unfortunate allergy to spending money on crap I can easily make. You saved me the time and trouble of figuring it out, gave me the proper dimensions, and did it all with grace and humor! Thank you from my heart, Cap'n Eddie!

Hey Captain, I am a new turner and absolutely love watching your videos. I do have a question for you on this video. Do you have any diagrams for the basket portion of this jig. I have tried o build my own but it's just not right yet. So any advice would be very helpful. Thank you so much for doing what you do! Bob

Hey Cap'n Eddie!! Just found you on KZitem. Love your style! No wonder, yer from 'Nawlins. Me too, I grew up in Harahan! I'm living in Denver now but sure miss home sometime, especially when I hear your accent! I am just learning how to turn wood. I turned a Stanley #5 Plane knob out of Rosewood. My first project and it came out real nice. I refurbished the plane for my son, who was born in Opelousas close to Lafayette. Anyway, I like your channel! I'll come back some more. Thank you very much! Great videos!!! Dave Henderson

I ran across this gentleman video a little while back, maybe about a month ago, and up until this point I was chasing perfection through methods that did not work for me. I learned from him that I don't need perfect I just need to get the project done. by applying what I learned I have now been able to sharpen most of my plane collection to almost razor sharp and consistent. also without jigs. Watch his videos you are going to learn something weather you know it or not. 👍👍. One more thing... share. ☺️

Yours is the first sharpening video I’ve seen that’s truly inclusive.
