A couple of points to help you. I make knives and have a jig close to yours. First, use a marker on the edge to see where the high and low spots are for a 100% uniform edge. Second, get a good leather strap to strop the edge after sharpening. It will remove the micro burrs from the edge. Third, get you an assortment of chain saw files from 1/32 to 1/4 and make a second arm for the jig to hold the files to sharpen the serrated edges. Just keep in mind that the serrated blade edge is shaped on a slighter angle than the regular blade. Only a couple of degrees difference between the two but it is a difference. Other than those notes you are an inspiration to all outdoors people. I love watching your videos.
Use a permanent marker on the edge before using the stones. It will show you where you have removed material and where you need more work. You can wipe it off with isopropyl alcohol
Another great project, Lilly. I have been wondering about something like this for a while, and here you are with one! You have lovely hair ... please tie it back when using tools.
Very clever, very nice! You do fine, beautiful work Lilly! I wish I could have watched your videos with my father before he died. I think he would have liked them very much. He was very clever and inventive also. We could have done these projects together. Thank you.
Rotating caster bearings are amazing. I made a bike trailer hitch from one and it's still going strong five years later. It's impressive how much they can take.
Hi Lilly. You did a remarkable job in this video. A lot of work no doubt. Thanks for the video. Nice workshop too. It is very important to keep all our survival knives sharp and ready. Thanks a lot.
great video, lilly! something i thought of while watching you sharpening your knives is, since you have only 2 stones, maybe mount the other stone on the opposite side. that way, when you are ready to switch stones, you just have to rotate the arm around to the other stone.
Nice jig. With a little more work I imagine you could come up with a mount that holds 2 or 4 stones (so you just rotate the rod to use a different one).
Wonderful workshop! Great tool you’ve made there. I have one myself that was gifted to me. It’s awesome to put the exact edge you want on a knife consistently! Nothing like a fresh edge. My son brings all his when he visits so they’re always perfect. Hunting, kitchen, pocket knifes we do them all at once. Thanks for sharing!
WELL DONE LILLY! A LOT of good thought went into the planning and THEN...the making of your new jig = TALENT! I would add to your title; 'Special guest appearance; AMY!' (LOL) Health and God's blessing upon you n' yours!
I like it, very ingenious. I use a Lansky for my pocket knives, which is similar to what you made. As some other people have suggested, I use a sharpie on the edge to see exactly what I am taking off and where. Also always run your stone against/towards the edge, lift up and repeat, instead of going back and forth, or at least that’s the way I have always done it. Mineral oil, or something similar helps to.
Hello, Lilly; Good video, & good design. Use a phone app, ( I have Rotating Sphere Inclinometer ) to check the angle of the blade. Then check the angle of the stone-holder, subtract the blade angle from the holder angle. The difference is the angle your knife is sharpened at. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
Good job. And maybe mounting a handle onto the detail, to which the whetstone is attached, could make the job more convenient and could protect your fingers from getting cut.
Great video thanks! I never realized that you are such a handy girl! And you have a well equipped workshop! Also it's the first time I noticed your beautiful hands! 👍🖐️
Old school do it by hand. I enjoy sharpening knives, found that I enjoy it more holding knife and stone. Bought one of those sharpening systems always went back old school. Takes practice go slow stick with it.
You might try a linear bearing for the rod guide. This will work well, but mine used to squeal if the metal got rough. I had the bearing in my 3d printer stuff, and popped it in. Nice and smooth. I always grind toward the blade, and alternate forward and backwards at an angle. The stone makes grooves, and changing the angle rips those off. Good for removing a lot of metal when you need to. Leather or canvas, and polishing compound and strop the shit out of the blade.
As someone who utterly sucks at sharpening his swords, that might come in handy. Unfortunately, I also suck at crafting stuff. Time to ask someone about it!
Good video and very clear. I have a suggestion: When drilling smal and larger holes at the same point: first drill the large holes, it is much more easy.

Thanks for watching this video. You will find the sharpening stones and my knives here: www.survivallilly.at/
Would you be kind enough to share the blueprint?
Have a great day and take care.
Where did you get your work table from ??
When will your knives be back in stock I want to buy a few for my kids and i
I used to use stone as a knife. A use and throw stuff.

I would like to see a shop tour.
Yours looks compact and we'll equipped.
Another great project, Lilly. I have been wondering about something like this for a while, and here you are with one!
You have lovely hair ... please tie it back when using tools.
Just a suggestion. Towards the blade. I've been sharpening blades for over 30 years. A honing tool is also very good after.
I get a great edge doing this but it seems like at some point I start shaving off the stones. Is that normal?
Very clever, very nice! You do fine, beautiful work Lilly! I wish I could have watched your videos with my father before he died. I think he would have liked them very much. He was very clever and inventive also. We could have done these projects together. Thank you.
Very nice jig and build. Love the clean and tidy workshop. May I suggest a band saw to make you more efficient. Greetings from Sydney
Australia.
The best part of cooking shows with fancy chefs......sometimes they will show them sharpening knives. swish swish swish swish done!.....skills.
I was like "whoa" with this video. Multi-talent. I admire that
Grande,magnifica passione e la tua mono d'opera è favolosa. Complimenti
Rotating caster bearings are amazing. I made a bike trailer hitch from one and it's still going strong five years later. It's impressive how much they can take.
de lo mejor que he visto, realmente sos muy talentosa Lilly !!!! Saludos !!!
I would make a second holder so each stone has separate one,
Or, redesign the end piece and have the second stone on the opposite side. Hold both at the same time.
Was going to suggest the same thing
Nice job I need to make one. I find knife sharpening very relaxing. This jig makes it easy for anyone to sharpen perfectly. Thank you🙂🇺🇸 stay healthy!

Lilly. Your some cookie and very clever carpenter. Joiner. Wow. Never thought of restoring an old motorcycle?you have the hands for it.
Awesome post
You are amazing... Your skillset is growing each day... Cool video thx
Очень интересная задумка!!! Вы молодец!!!!
Nice, a woman with craftsmanship👍👍
Hi Lilly, this self-made tool is interesting, and congratulations on your manual skills. Greetings from Italy and super LIKE.
👍👋
This looks great. Will cover many different tools including garden tools.
I always enjoy watching your videos you are a very smart young woman. And quite handy around the house and in the shop. I like your accent also.
You are getting better and better at fabricating things! Well done Lilly!
Sehr coole Idee! LG Felix
This is a very nice design you could even do a slight alteration for a filing jig to make your own bevels godbless and thanks for sharing.
Ots a good video. Where did you get your measurements for the build?
Nice! I was just looking at buying a jig! I definitely have these parts laying around the garage. Sweet.
HELLO LILY AWESOME LIKE ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BE SAFE.
u made it girl, will try to do my own allready have the stones and my folding knifs completle unsharpened so, cant wait!
Well done Lilly. 👍😁
Awesome video very helpful thanks

That's Brilliant Lilly
Your so crafty,. I loved the video.
Lily, you are a southern man's dream girl! I love your videos and I beat you can prep too. Keep up the great things you do! :)))
Very nice Lilly. Good problem solving skills.😊
Ingeniously awesome! Thanks for going through the build.
Hello, Lilly;
Good video, & good design.
Use a phone app, ( I have Rotating Sphere Inclinometer ) to check the angle of the blade.
Then check the angle of the stone-holder, subtract the blade angle from the holder angle.
The difference is the angle your knife is sharpened at.

Super Arbeit.👍
Hast du eine Liste vom Material die du genutzt hast und die Maße dazu???
Ist ja cool. 😎 Also sowas habe ich noch nie gesehen. Was du immer für coole Ideen hast. 😊
Absolutely brilliant Lilly
Nice setup! Very interesting. And you got a good workshop in your house. 👍
Where can we learn more about and purchase these sharpening stones?
This was an awesome video. A wee break from the norm but highly entertaining. Brilliant build and exact angle on the blade every sharpening.
I'm always amazed by your talents :-D you really have a huge amount of really useful and practical knowledge. Your workshop and tools look great!
Brillian idea 👍
I like the way you think. It's cool and practical. ❤ from Texas.
Super video as usual lilly.
Very nice! Now I really need to get my garage cleaned up so I can make one!
beautiful invention to sharpen knives with the perfect angle beautiful an excellent invention good day hello👍👋
Looks awesome does it do or get the job done
Very nice jig & very accurate. Nice work.
Brilliant!!!love it!!!
Hi lily you are really good at your wood working skills and love that I will make one for myself and all so love your lovely workshop take care xx
Well done !!!
Nice Job Lilly . Well done
Very good idea. I think I'll build one
You are making good videos despite the lock down, thanks
Professional knife sharpening costs $1.00 per inch in many locations here (Texas)..but it’s fun to sharpen our own knives when needed.
Super impressed with your never ending mountain of skills. You are a wonderful role model to any young girl that wants to do it all.
Really awesome video Lilly! You are a big inspiration!
Great video thanks! I never realized that you are such a handy girl! And you have a well equipped workshop! Also it's the first time I noticed your beautiful hands! 👍🖐️
Nice job 👍👏 , your shop is awesome , looks like you have everything you need ...😉😎🍀🇺🇸🍍
Old school do it by hand. I enjoy sharpening knives, found that I enjoy it more holding knife and stone. Bought one of those sharpening systems always went back old school. Takes practice go slow stick with it.
Sehr geil. 👌
If you drill a small hole either side on that part with the washers , through bth washers and the wood you can bolt them in place firmly.
That was pretty cool!
Woww... A love it👍🥰
Could you please share the dimensions of the grinding machine?
I love your channel !!
Thisbis amazing because I have been trying to makebone the past few days. Its crazy you just put this up
Sos un genio lily!! Muy buen video..
Excelente magnífico gracias
Hi lily, awesome. Do you happen to have the basic measurements?
Love your sharpenar. Got a similar one in progress. 30 and 60 degrees what I'm using
That turned out to be pretty cool
Where do you by the stones. Thanks
Nice 👌kleiner Tipp mach dir ein 2tes Holzteil mit dem Diamant Schleifstein dann brauchst nur kurz eine Schraube lösen und fertig 😜
man I just love this idea you came up with so simple thank you sooooo much
This one sounds like a game-changer!

Like your wood working skills, nice job.
Can you share the dimensions of the product?
Cool build
oui,tres bonne idée merci a bientot
As someone who utterly sucks at sharpening his swords, that might come in handy.
Unfortunately, I also suck at crafting stuff. Time to ask someone about it!
Gud'n! Probier doch mal eine Senk- oder Linsenkopfschraube zum Festklemmen der Klinge. Das spart einiges an Bauhöhe.
ja hab grad keine gehabt die passt
That is the coolest thing since sliced bread! Cowboy approved!
Hi Lilly and Amy. Happy to see you are doing great. I enjoy watching when your at your workshop. Thanks for the video. ATB
