I'll do a little explanation about the jig when I get the chance.
Preferably with a video of it being used in anger?

Thanks for the comments folks. The blade is clamped at a slight angle to allow for the radius. This is usually slightly tweaked until i'm happy with the first bevel then just set up the same when the knife is flipped and the symmetry should be mirror imaged. I did think about having everything running on a single column but decided not to go down that road. The twin uprights just seemed the better choice for stiffness and stability.
Hi Pete. It seems the thread is still active. It has been a while. What can I help you with?Hi Darren, (i'm not sure if this thread is still active), I wondered if it would be possible to ask you a few questions about your jig? Cheers, Pete (Edinburgh)
Thanks Woodcutter! The jig is still very much alive. I was dripping sweat on it today as it happens.So glad to be reminded of this genius jig, steampunk excellence at its finest.
Fine knife too.

There are no drawings in afraid Pete. It was made from the scrap bin in my work. You are more than free to copy it. The basic format probably goes back to the bronze age so dont worry about upsetting anyone on the copyright front. The uprights are M10 threaded rod.All sizes are worked around the length of your file. The more solid the better is the way to go. Any questions just ask.
