Hi Gang;
You may want to check out Grizzly Industries 2010 catalog page 192 for the model T10010 sharpening system. It mimics the Tormek and is made in Germany for Grizzly; probably by Tormek as I ws told by Grizzly that Tormek jigs will work with it. It has a learning curve but I think it is worth the effort.

Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions!

Just to clarify, the picture I posted is not my setup. That's a picture of of the Wolverine Sharpening Jig I found online. Dad is still building my version of the jig. I sent him a link to this page for reference: http://www.thewoodshop.20m.com/howto_sharpen.htm#lathe

I have every expectation that my tools, processes, jigs, equipment, etc. will change as I learn what I'm doing and figure out what works best for me.

Did your homemade jig ever come to be?
