First, I'm a newbie. I've turned three bowls and IMHO they are 'works of
art'. However, I don't think the wife will have them in the living room
Sooner or later I'll have to sharpen my tools. I'm slowly gathering a
few of the basic gouges, scrapers and, most recently a pretty good - thin-
parting tool. I'm going to try and work with one popular grind/bevel and if
I get that right, I'll branch out. If I understand current thinking,
'fingernail' grinds are the way to go?? Rob't Scorsby (sp?) quality is my
direction.

I have a basic 6" grinder. Wheels that came with it.

I have seen the Wolverine jig in action and it seems to do the job the
operator had in mind. A 'repeatable' grind was his take on the jig.
However, the Wolverine, with all of its attachment fetches over $225 Cdn.

My question is: What is the best sharpening jig? bearing in mind, I only
want to buy one, once. I don't think that I can freehand a fingernail grind.

Thanks for any suggestions, Tom
