Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Debi has been working on building an adjustable knife grinding jig for a while now. I helped her with some of the grunt work like filing, drilling and tapping some holes etc. Finally got it finished today. I donated two old cast iron file handles and it looks pretty good and works like a charm. Knife attached Adjusted for cutting edge grinding. Need I say, I'm proud of her for all the work she did on it. She found the steel in our resource pile and did all the cutting to shape, layout of the holes drilled & tapped etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlpservicesinc Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Hey, that's cool. Have you put it thru it's paces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 I tested it with the Seax blade that I forged in the picture. It works very well a whole lot better than I can free hand. This is a ladies three finger knife that Debi used the jig to do the grinding. Hopefully the bevel above the tape shows. I'm supposed to make a scabbard for it hence the tape so I don't cut myself it's scary sharp. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sails. ~ Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 I could have sworn I added pictures of the bench mount jig so file work can be done, so here they are. Maybe it is in another thread. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Very nice.. Are you still able to rotate it? I love the slice of RRtrack as the mount.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Yes, it will rotate to any angle wanted by loosening the big wing nut. It is a companion jig to the first one posted made out of square tubing with wood inserts as jaws. The only drawback we found is it's limited to blade length it will accept. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 That is a great design for a knife angle jig.. I love the old chainsaw file holders for handles.. Brilliant.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
