When I sharpen plane irons and chisels I use a process that combines the use of an angle setting jig with a honing guide in order to reliably produce a razor edge in minutes. In this video, I’ll show you how to make the angle setting jig that pairs best with the Lie-Nielsen honing guide.
How does it work? The little stop blocks along the bottom of the jig allow you to quickly position a blade in a honing guide at various protrusions, which correspond with specific angles commonly used for sharpening (25˚,30˚,35˚,40˚,45˚). There's even a little 1/8" shim that allows you to add a 2˚ micro-bevel.
Another nice feature of this angle setting jig, is that it keeps everything all in one place. Having everything you need on a plater means you're more likely to sharpen more often. I really enjoy how the sharpening stones stay in place between the cleats, but that the stones aren't fixed in place so I can change grits if I'd like.
