Simple Blade Sharpening Jig

By: Erich Lage

Here's an accurate way to keep those over-sized plane irons sharp.

Some plane blades are too wide to sharpen with my honing guide. Instead, I
use the shop-made guide you see above.
It’s made from a glued-up wood block cut at an angle to match the bevel of the
plane blade. Two inner pieces are notched to house nylon wheels, while a knob
and washers on top hold the plane blade in place.

Patterns
With the guide sitting on a flat surface, place the plane blade on top, bevel side
down, and tighten the threaded knob. Roll the guide back and forth on the
abrasive surface to sharpen.
 Loosen the knob and
adjust the blade to maintain contact with the surface if needed.
