You can't get a standard Wolverine style lathe chisel sharpening jig cheaper than this:

Not for fingernail style chisels.

Mickyd;
Justthought I would throw a pic of a workbence I made to replace mt old Sjoberg's bench. The new one is a LOT heavier and has more than twice the work surface. Total length is 88" and width is about 33".

I finished this mail box post about a year ago and thought to post it here. Don't know why I didn't think to post it earlier.

Also, just recently a friend asked me to replace two water damaged cabinets in her kitchen. She is financially challenged, so couldn't replace more than that. I also replaced her counter top because it was damaged. She is very happy with these so far, and wants the other two base cabinets replaced soon. If she can ever afford it, she wants me to finish the kitchen for her with 42" upper cabinets.

The face frames and doors are Western Red Cedar because I happened to have it already. The boxes are 1/2" birch ply spray finished with clear poly.
The dishwasher was to the left of the sink originally. When I saw that, years ago, I told her it was definitely the wrong place for it. You should have seen her eyes after I said that because she thought so too, but that was the original plan and she just figured it was a personal issue for her. With the DW door open she couldn't stand in front of the sink. It didn't really matter then because it hasn't worked for years, so she replaced it.
One thing I'm really happy about is the fact that the seam in the counter top is virtually invisible. I can only see it when I'm directly above it. One step to the right and it disappears. Nice to know I didn't lose the skill to seam plastic laminate after 10 years.
I wanted to take some before pics, but she wasn't happy about that. It did look crappy so I understand.
I'm glad I made her happy with these.
I think that I will take some more pics of furniture I've made through the years too and post them here. I don't have many pieces with me anymore because I made a lot of things for others and there were no digital cameras then .
Stay safe everyone

I built the coffee table in this photo this summer. Quartersawn oak, through-tenoned (first time doing through-tenons).

Gorgeous! Outstanding job. And the tenons on this table are tastefully protruding, as opposed to some furniture where the through-tenons look like the ends of a log cabin.

Beautiful coffee table, Julian! Excellent work! Your fine craftsmanship shows. The table really set compliments the other mission furniture in the room. Think I see a mission rocker and another rocker or chair (with grey arms) in the immediate foreground.
