Wow! Having adjustable rollers preset to 25 and 30 degrees is pure genius. The craftsmanship is excellent too but I'm really impressed with the geometry of the thing. I don't even remember how I landed here but I'm glad I did. Very well done sir.
Brilliant ! l made this but l used 5mm thick alloy for the triangles and brass rod for the bearing axles. By using alloy, l could use thinner material for a more streamlined look without losing strength. The brass axle had a contrast effect and was fixed in with an epoxy resin. It looks very slick after polishing to a high degree and then finished of with a coat of lacquer which helps to maintain its appearance. Keep up the good work and ideas flowing my friend, you are an inspiration to us all. 👌👌📐📏🔨🔨
I can't wait to build this! Could you share the dimensions and hole position of the triangular sides? I can probably do the rest myself, but the geometry of the sides has me puzzled.
Pretty cool stuff. I would like to build it on my own. You have mentioned that you are working on some plans. Any updates on this? Would be really appreciated
This the first time to your sight. I see a lot of things that show your ingenuity. I don't know if they are all your ideas or not, but it doesn't matter as long as you share. Just a few, the hand and clamp holes in your sled, the little bend in your 6 inch rule so you can pick it up, the shim that matches your saw blade to adjust curf to alternate sides of the line. I'll be back
A well made jig. I like the idea of rotating the triangles to give you the 30 degree angle for doing the micro bevel. Only concern I see is that since you use wet grinding those ball bearings are going to rust. The plywood will soak a little bit of moisture and keep the jig moist for that much longer promoting rust especially on the hidden bearing areas.
Very interesting use of the off-center axle on the triangles, to get dual grinding angles. As the main angle is also controlled by the protruding portion of the blade / chisel to sharpen, you can have different length "little helpers", to obtain different angles, for special / non-standard tools, or for different height sharpening stones. Some do it with mirrors, you do it with triangles :-)
Oh! P.S. forgot, l used alloy and hardwood for the chisel clamp, along with knurled brass knobs and brass rod for the pivot itself, again giving a shiny contrast finish. The shoulders for various chisel sizes were achieved using my small milling machine. Boy, it don't half look the dog's bollocks !!! 👏👏
Have you considered making a separate top block (clamping top) for each chisel? It’s a little more work but has advantages. Chisels would each be held more securely. Chisels would also be the same height / depth which should help keep the grinding angle uniform.
Sie sind von Wolfcraft gemacht. Ich weiß nicht, ob sie in den USA erhältlich sind. I think this Forstner Bits could be good ones : www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B0015O9CDG/ref=sr_1_8?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=1Z7NVLJA7FRFW&keywords=forstner+bit+set&qid=1575202760&sprefix=forstener+bit%2Caps%2C249&sr=8-8
Excellent build but as the sharpening stone wore down & therefore the distance between the stone & the sharpener increased, would that necessitate tilting the sharpener further forward which of course would change the sharpening angle.
I wonder, do you ever sleep? 😀 How do you keep coming up with these great ideas!!!.?? I just bought a diamond sharpening stone that may work great with this jig. Thanks so much! Cheers!
When your water stone wears it will become thinner. Will that change the angle of you bevel? If so then you will have to adjust how far out the chisel is protruding. I like your design.
Really nice design, one of the best perhaps, but I wonder what if the stone is getting lower and lower after using a long time, it will change the bevel angle right?
Amazing. How did you calculate the off-center position of the triangle bearing hub to change the angle 10 degrees to set the microbevel (to 35 degrees) when rotated? Genius!! 😋
I am planning a vacation to Germany after the Covid stuff is over. I’d Ike to drop in and say hi. ( I used to live in Germany many years ago for 4 years)
great video and ingenious idea, will be making one for myself. But please stop bringing the items up to the camera, we can see it at the working level , when you bring it up to the camera we have to wait till it focuses. But still a great idea.
foff44 I disagree. I like the closeups. Just have to be patient for them to come into focus. They help a lot if you plan to try to build one for yourself as there aren’t always plans or dimensions. IMHO. 😋
Your vids are amazing. You are obviously a perfectionist. I noticed in one of your other vids that we have the same bandsaw.i cannot stop mine from drifting. Please can you suggest a cure. I have to put the woos in at 40 degrees to try and follow a straight line. Thanks for your English. (Thanks Dave from Portsmouth)
Thank you. My bandsaw doesn't drift. When the tension of the blade is right and the top and bottom blade guide is set properly it shouldn't drift at all.
What happens when your sharpening stone is worn out and gets shorter in height? Those preset angles won't be 25, 30, or 35° anymore. This jig would work better if you used sandpaper, on a glass surface.
@@ISIMPLYBUILTIT Paul Sellers has some really helpful videos on hand sharpening. Watch his technique and listen to his advice and you'll be better in no time!
Its a clever idea until you realize your stone will be getting thiner as you use it and then you'll have yo adjust the deep of the chisel, which is imho more dificult than have 2 deep stops for a stone riding guide instead
Thank you. I learned to remove the burr this way, by a guy who grind his chisels by hand. It's done before you grind the micro bevel so it's no problem.
Your offset from 25 to 30 degrees for the triangles was not well explained- you made this almost 3yrs ago not too hard to do a voice over an repost a better video. You have lots of dead air you can use. Your many replies rarely help. Thank you is not an answer. A semi thick 1/4" neoprene strip . medium rubber pink/white eraser would secure the wonky side of the chisel rather than make all those channels. I am sure a woodworker can make it straight with a small square or business card. you could easily draw parallel lines. it also could have a bit more bite with more wood. and a sandpaper stuck on the flat side. Gee I think I will make a video.
so glad to see Ahnald Schwattzeneggger found a great retirement hobby!
Fantastic method to adjust microbevel
Very nice jig 👍
Thank you
Awesome idea

Awesome design.. i will attempt to copy it.. thanks
Super Teil, sehr gut Durchdacht
Vielen Dank.
great jig👍
Thank you.
Outstanding!!!
Thank you
Thanks for a great project.should be using it for years to follow!!!!!!
Realy clever thing. The ultimate jig.
Thank you.
Greare item!
Nice
Thanks
I really like how this jig can straddle the sharpening stone.
Thanks

Very cool~! Probably a lot more fun in the making of this jig than buying one.
This is great. I love the detailed videos. Thank you for the gift of knowledge..:)
Thank you so much!
perfect

This is a great little jig, even better if you gave some sizes and dimensions. 👍
Thanks. I have to make plans with all the dimensions.
to seconds into this vid I see I need to update my sled for my TS with hand holes like yours GREAT idea! Fantastic jig my friend very impressed!
Thank you so much!

Nicely designed and made but I’ve reservations about using wood for long term use as it will wear out faster than a tool made from steel.

Only concern I see is that since you use wet grinding those ball bearings are going to rust.

Thank you. Maybe you're right. I will see in the future.
silicone spray after every sharpening should solve that problem
2 drops of camellia oil after every use, No rust!
Seal the wood & grease the wheels I say!!! 🙂
Fantastic job, dude! Awesome idea! 😃
Thank you

What language is this you're attempting?

Do you plans for your chisel sharpening jig?

@@ISIMPLYBUILTIT Thank you for your swift reply and best wishes on your UA-cam channel. Keep up the good work.
Excellent build but as the sharpening stone wore down & therefore the distance between the stone & the sharpener increased, would that necessitate tilting the sharpener further forward which of course would change the sharpening angle.
Thanks. When the sharpening stone wore down, I have to clamp the chisel in another position. But I will buy diamond stones anyway.
@@ISIMPLYBUILTIT Yes of course, the diamond stone will solve that, now I will build one.
I wonder, do you ever sleep? 😀 How do you keep coming up with these great ideas!!!.?? I just bought a diamond sharpening stone that may work great with this jig. Thanks so much! Cheers!
😀 I sleep not much. It's difficult with a full-time job, a family and a UA-cam channel.
I can understand that! I am interested, what do you do at your full time job?
Very interesting but I see a problem the angle is not fixed when u are honing
awesome video and extremely accurate jig.
What angle did you use at the beginning on the table saw?
Thanks. I think it was 15°
do you have plans available for sale?
Not yet.
When your water stone wears it will become thinner. Will that change the angle of you bevel? If so then you will have to adjust how far out the chisel is protruding. I like your design.
Exactly. Thanks.
Verry Nice jig i want to build one of my one have jou plans of it
Really nice design, one of the best perhaps, but I wonder what if the stone is getting lower and lower after using a long time, it will change the bevel angle right?
Thank you. Yes you're right. I will get diamond stones, and use the other ones just for sharpening knifes.

You could have sharpened it freehand in the time it took to set up the jig.
But i‘m not really good at sharpening by hand.

Can you build a whriligig hub jig it makes propellers hubs
Maybe when I find the time.
Amazing Jig. Genuine Respect and instant subscibe. However, your chisel is not very sharp, you can see the burs catching as you slide it.
Una vergunsa no tengo esas herramientas
Nice jig, subscribed! If you want more subs, feel free to put a link to your video on our homemade tools forum; looks like you're one of us :-)
