: Hi Brian,
: I read the reviews of this jig and I think I can overcome the
: problems. 1) I am using 3/8" glass and emery paper so
: continual height adjustment is not a problem 2) If I use spacers
: on the sides of the blade to keep it centered in the jig I
: should eliminate most of the tipping problem and 3) I am not a
: 'fine woodworker' I am sharpening a $3 plane to remove excess
: cedar before sanding. I am not in need of real precision or 1
: degree cutting angles I just need sharp and an easy way to bring
: the blade back to sharp.
: I ordered the jig, now I will have two to report on. Thank you for
: doing the research to find this jig and sending me the link :)
: Randy
Btw, the I think $5 or $7 Stanley version of the same plane holds it's edge better, better grade of steel I think for the blade, otherwise they are nearly identical.
