This is based on something I saw in one of Gidon's YoutTube videos - in fact, it may even be a direct copy... I can't remember! :wink:
Cam levers apply the pressure to keep the stones securely in place. I like using the plastic cases for storage but, there's too much spare room inside for the stones to slop about! :x This jig seems to solve that problem.
A piece of softwood below the front edge enables the jig to be held in a vice. Softwood's also good for removing the wire edge after sharpening and, generally for whittling a with a fresh edge! :wink:
