As my old boss used to say: "Worky, Worky!" Nice job! I *LOVE* that drill! That looks super awesome!

[@imadethischannel]

I also happen to say that! 😀 And yes, the drill really was a lucky find.

[@iggysixx]

Gonna try this. PRO TIP: when cutting threads, put on 2 nuts (tighten against each other) - use the nut as a saw guide to get a super straight cut

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea!

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Improvising like you do can be extremely satisfying ---nice idea !

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks!

[@doczoff5655]

Superbly simple... excellent!! A good tip when sawing threaded bar is to put a nut on it first, then when you undo the nut after cutting it will clean out the thread! :)

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks, I hadn’t heard that one. I’ll definitely try it!

[@Skitradr]

This week I was dealin gwith the same issue, I will do this tomorrow. Thanks for sharing my dude!

[@jurikristjouw]

Amazingly simple and effective! thanx for the idea, will make one for sure!! Also, with a smartphone, you can use an angle metering app to get the exact angle.

[@imadethischannel]

Great, thanks! The smartphone thing is a good idea!

[@PaulaRanda-f7p]

[@wotviewer]

so the real secret to this is the maths needed to make the distance jig. Shame you skipped through it so quickly

[@imadethischannel]

Haha, yes. I was afraid to lose the average KZbin viewers attention:) I also made a mistake in the derivation as one very attentive viewer pointed out 😬

[@hoorpari3688]

​@@imadethischannelshame on you for views you skipped the actual tip

[@imadethischannel]

Well, I didn‘t skip it. I just didn’t show it in real time which I also don‘t do for all the other stuff 😀. You can just pause the video and look at the equation.

[@tariqkamil7853]

Need this for my Japanese leather knives. Thanks

[@imadethischannel]

That may work as well.

[@FrancisoDoncona]

Great idea, the commercial jigs always wear out the roller, at least your rollers are cheap, available, easily replaced and universal.

[@imadethischannel]

Yes, true. The little brass wheels always turned to dust over time.

[@JoeMcLutz]

Amazing jig: it's pure genius! 👍🏻 Once ago I made one with all metal parts but this one is simplier and more effective! Thank you! 😊 P.S.: I'll tell you once again: I DO LOVE THAT HAND-DRILL! ❤😄

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks!

[@billbelt8232]

Great idea!! Can you tell me what size rollers you used?

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks! I’m not entirely sure. I had a few ball bearings laying around and just used a size that seemed right.

[@B_COOPER]

This has Napoleon Dynamite introduction credit vibes and I love it. Also, you took four saws to get through that threaded rod? Wimp!

[@zapa1pnt]

This is really good. The, single wheeled, jigs on the market have indexing grooves on the inside of the clamp, which never hold chisels exactly right, which makes an non-square and uneven cutting edge. P.S.: I would put two nuts on one side, tightened together, with red or green Loctite. That way, only one nut will move as you tighten the jig.

[@imadethischannel]

Yes, good point. The reason I didn‘t fix the nuts in place was that I wanted to be able to center different sizes of blades on the bolt. But a fixed side would be pretty convenient.

[@DRJMF1]

Please list sizes of components eg M8 threaded bar, securing washers and what are the wheels. Great job, inspiring. Potentially save £40 and better quality too !

[@imadethischannel]

The bar was m10, I think. You just have to work with what you find and what matches the stuff you already have. The exact dimensions are not so important.

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

A major problem with this design is that the faces of the brass inserts were hand finished- so will not be precise (even precision turned arts will not be quite accurate). This means that the jig will not be parallel to the cutting edge- it will be slightly different each time. Most sharpening is to the micro-bevel- any misalignment will greatly increase the amount of material needed to be removed. This will take longer, and may need different grits to achieve. The answer? A single roller, in the middle if the jig. This allows the iron to find its own lateral position. Only the angle needs to be supported, not the side position. This also allows the camber required by a scrub plane to be ground.

[@imadethischannel]

Yes, it’s not perfect. But it does work quite well. I use jigs mainly for reshaping the bevels, for example when I want to change the angle or when I have messed it up with lots of free hand sharpening.

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

@@imadethischannel Ahh, so a shaping guide, not a honing guide. You may wish to re-name this video to prevent confusion.

[@WoodieMan]

That's too simply to make. I will try it. Thanks for sharing.

[@imadethischannel]

[@mc48911]

Okay, what is the metal part you drilled a hole in?

[@imadethischannel]

Do you mean the brass thing? It’s a kind of hose fitting.

Thank You Mr.Blake

[@Walkercolt1]

Gee, I bought an adjustable one from Herber Fraught ready-made for $2.99 on sale! You can't buy the bolts for that price and the body is die cast aluminum. I've had mine forever and I think they may be $7 dollars now, but gee...I use mine for plane irons and chisels. It isn't a fancy jig from Woodcraft or Woodpeckers, but it works-even on a sanding disc on my cordless drill! I made a wooden jig to hold the drill in the bench vise and on slow speed it's a sharpener. I made it myself!

[@imadethischannel]

Yes, you can buy almost anything cheaper than you can make it. But then, what would you do all day? Also, it would make a terrible KZbin video to just order some cheap stuff on the internet.

[@turkeytrac1]

Great honing guide, where did you get the human powered drill press? It's as awesome as your honing guide.

[@imadethischannel]

I was lucky and found a cheap one on a local classifieds site.

[@billj5645]

I've seen people make these using various wheels and rollers and bearings. I can't find a place to buy those parts, my local hardware stores don't have them. If I have to buy roller bearings on the internet and pay for shipping, plus the other parts you have, it would be cheaper for me to just buy an already made jig.

[@imadethischannel]

Yes, you can get a ready made jig quite cheap.

[@jgo5707]

Simple but effective. I think I'd have used a magnetic angle finder on the iron when attached to the honing guide on flat surface instead of the mathematics to find the distance, but im also lazy

[@imadethischannel]

Yes, that's also possible. But the wooden jig is good for consistency.

[@jgo5707]

@@imadethischannel absolutely, I just meant finding the initial angle. Then you can use the honing guide with the iron in it to set the wooden jig to the right depth. I also dont know how to do that math 🥵

[@sportsman1824]

Nice

[@bilbaggins1]

A neat idea! The main issue with "wheeled" jigs that sit on the stone, is that the grind angle must alter marginally. That is something you don't want with final honing at finer angles. Altering the grind angle is not really what you want to happen especially with chisels & plane blades etc but it probably depends on how much material is being removed from the blade & the stone. Keep in mind to dress the stone between grinds! It must be dead flat for each use. But only if you're really anal like me!!! :-) Excellent mathematics too by the way!!! One of those digital angle finders would save on calculations but they cost money!!! Keep the good work.

[@imadethischannel]

Yes, I think consistency is more important than the absolute angle. It works quite well in practice. For me the main thing is that it has to be quick and practical.

[@maf5454]

I like this idea a lot! I think I'll take the idea and run with it. To your point "bilbaggins 1" I believe I have solved the problem you address by not using stones at all. My method is to use either a very thick and smooth floor tile, mine is 12"x12" and 3/8" thick or a 12"x12" piece of float glass. Then, I use pieces of silicon carbide wet/dry sand paper for my abrasives. Fortunately enough the sheets of wet/dry are 11" long so at the start of a session I'll cut as many grits as I will need, typically 1 1/2" wide. I attach them to the tile or glass with large binder clips at each end that overlap the end of the strip of abrasive. Now comes the fun part. I restore edged tools for a local tool thrift shop that I work in and you wouldn't believe the variation in angles I run across. The beauty of my system now and with this idea in the video is you have infinite control over the grind angle. I use a poor man's layout dye, a simple felt tip and darken the bevel. I'll use a very fine abrasive and adjust the jig to that angle. Yeah, I know, that makes for some extra work but when I restore a vintage Witherby or a classic Buck Brothers or Stanley 750's I don't like removing any more material than I can help.To the point of making sure the stone is flat and lapped each time you use it, don't even need to bother. As long as I use the same thickness paper for each step the problem is self solving. And to the issue of the very fine grits say beyond say 2500 grit lapping film works great. I rarely use it because the edges are completely acceptable to my customers. I'll use a strop and the edges are like a mirror and always cut as the customer likes. I have an angle finder but for the most part I don't use it because of the aforementioned reason. A side bonus is when restoring vintage knives the same abrasive work just as well. Thanks for reading my rambling here. Be well and safe, peace to you and yous.

[@christophersherratt7299]

It could of been better if you had flattered one side of the threaded bar 10mm flat surface good luck 👍

[@imadethischannel]

I’m not quite sure what you mean.

[@christophersherratt7299]

@imadethischannel if you would of filled the bolt on one side the blade would of sat flat with more support instead of blade resting on the threads that's what I was trying to say

[@christophersherratt7299]

Sorry that might not of made sense am tired

[@imadethischannel]

@@christophersherratt7299 Yes, I see what you mean. But then the nuts wouldn't hold on so tightly to the threads anymore and the whole thing might become more wiggly. But it's definitely worth a try!

Sorry to tell u that as u are honning the degree of the blade which is not fixed will change d angle

[@imadethischannel]

Hey, I’m not sure what you mean. The point of this device is to hold the blade at a fixed angle.

[@LitoGeorge]

Yes it's true. But nothing is perfect, every stone as it wears will change the angle naturally. Even a Tormek. But it's close enough for jam, and it's a lot more precise than a hand. The wood doesn't complain that it started at 25.8deg and stopped at 25.2 deg.
