Sharpening
Before I get too far into this I need, really need, to say, "It ain't my
fault!!!!" I have been married to a "Down-Easter" Scot for just over 42 years. Just proves that even an Irish spendthrift can go bad. :-) Now that guilt is assuaged, I came across plans for a shop made version of the "Wolverine" sharpening jig, in the light of the above disclaimer,I thought, "Eighty bucks is eighty bucks," I thought I would give it a try. The thingy that is causing a bit of a problem is the attachment that allows the jig to sharpen "fingernail" grinds on bowl gouges (again "Fifty bucks is fifty bucks). The instructions said the gouge should meet the wheel at "70 degrees." How is that angle measured? Is that measured from the tangent, through the center of the wheel, or . . . ? Thanks Deb |
