Jean Michel's Jig - gerald@eberhardt.bz

New version of Home Made Grinding Jig
This is a picture of the “New and Improved Version” (Sounds like a soap add
on TV!). My friend Claude bought some used gouges and they were too short
to sharpen with his jig so I modified the plans. It gives more room for a big
handle close to the jig and almost 1” more to sharpen. That should keep him
happy for a while! If he woodturn’s more than he sharpens… The travel and
angle of the jig are exactly the same for both models.
Both plans come in the “Bundle”, just decide to print or not, build or not,
turn or not, chips or nuts…
Have fun and work safely!
Jean Michel.
