: Malcolm, I could've written that response until you got to the part
: where you found a jig that works. Can you get more specific?
: Will it hold spokeshave irons?

: I've been sharpening all that small stuff by hand/eyeball, just
: being as careful and patient as I can to keep the bevel nailed.
: I use a Sharpie often to mark the bevel to see the wear patterns
: to keep myself honest. So far I'm doing okay, but it's still
: kinda nerve wracking. Would much rather have a jig.

Hi Kurt,
I have one of those Stanley jigs and it works fine, as long as you are consistent with positioning the blade. Twill hold my spokeshave blade, no problem.
