Strip Sander Jig plans for sharpening knives

Post by tom_k/mo »

I seem to remember a video where Nick was sharpening lathe chisels with the strip sander and there was a set of plans on the blackboard to make a jig or adaptor to allow you to clamp and sharpen butcher knives and pocket knives with the strip sander. I've looked through all the sawdust sessions and I've found the one with Nick sharpening lathe chisels with the strip sander but I can't find the plans for the knife holding jig anywhere. IIRC it was made of band stock with a couple bolts running through 2 pieces, but I'd love to see the plans again. Anyone remember where they are, or have a copy of them?

There is no such thing as an unsafe tool, only unsafe owners. If you make a machine idiot-proof, God will invent a better idiot.
