My Bevel Filing Jig.

[dazcon]

Thanks for the feedback guys! I've been PM'd quite a few times for the dimensions of the jig. It is designed to take a standard *******/second-cut file so here they are:-

I haven't had any time for knifemaking lately with one thing or another,but here are another couple that i roughed out. Been making a wee workshop so that has been taking up most of my time. I'll be back to it soon!

That is a work of art mate, the perfect answer to the hobby enthusiast who has limited space.

Ever thought of making these for sale?

I did think about making a collapsible version that would stow away or hang on the wall out of the way when not in use but just aint got the time. If you think this is a work of art you should see my home-made sharpening station!

May well have to try and make one of these in the future. Thanks for posting!

That jig is one of the best things I've ever seen on this forum...

Very cool indeed

Damn, can't get that link to work - can't wait to see the pics mate!

 

[Hoodoo]

That is a sweet setup! Thanks for sharing it.

 

[bushwacker bob]

Excellent engineering. I did wonder how you produce such well made knives from a kitchen table.

 

[dazcon]

Thanks for the comments folks! Here's the sharpening contraption as requested.
Not pretty either but does the job!

The top section with gimbal has multiple height settings and can be locked at any angle for different bevel angles.

The jaw section unlocks and pulls out with the knife still locked in place so that it can be flipped over and the other bevel worked without the angle changing.

I just thought i'd put up a couple of pics of the knives I was making on the jig to finish this thread.

Thanks for looking and as always comments, good or bad are welcome!

Lovely stuff mate.

Great job Darren. I may try to cobble together a cheepo version of this. Not sure I can make it to this std! Where did you get those pro looking threaded blocks? Did you have them made? Also a pic would be very useful of your symetrical plunge line set up using your nifty parallel block. (Not sure how that works). Great work once again.

Thanks Bladeophile! The threaded blocks i'm lucky enough to get at work. As for the plunge line, i'm not entirely sure what you mean. I went into more detail on BB. Maybe this link will help.If you read through the pages it should all become clear.......Hopefully!!

Great looking jig you have there, I reckon that they would sell well.
