[Chuck Wood]

Hi All,

Does anyone have ideas for a homemade sharpening jig? I dont want to spend the money for a Wolverine or similar but need some help with sharpening my small detail gouge.....Thanks.

Jean Michel, a canadian woodturner, no longer with us since March 14, had the design and explanation on how to make the jig you are looking for. His web site is still active, and I am sure than from where Jean now is, he would be pleased to see that what he did still helps.

Hi,

Thanks for the information. I probably should have read a little further down on this forum huh? Silly me getting in a hurry......

I believe King Heiple wrote an article (American Woodturner, 14(#4)28-31, 1999 Heiple, King, Shop-Built Sharpening System ) that described one as well. He is a member of our club and built one for use there--it looks pretty good.
