Gouge Jig Origin
There appears to be some controversy over the origin of the grinding jig
concept?? I have spent time investigating this and it is my belief that the originator of this type of jig concept is Gerry Glasser of los Angeles in the USA. I have visited him and seen his prototypes dating back long before anything else. Many versions have been made since, including ours although only myself and Woodfast are prepared to give him any credit. We have made improvements to the concept and some of our innovation has been patented. But the credit must go to Gerry for the original concept. -- www.woodcut-tools.com All the best, from Ken @ the Woodcut Sales team |
Ken I refer you to the conversations you have had with Gorgi while Woodcut
were his agent in NZ and just before you released you rip off. "Woodcut tools 2000 Ltd sales" wrote in message ... There appears to be some controversy over the origin of the grinding jig concept??

you too have seen them. "." wrote in message ... Ken I refer you to the conversations you have had with Gorgi while Woodcut were his agent in NZ and just before you released you rip off.

I suspect you are right, and his rig is the earliest gouge jig design I
am aware of, though I also suspect several folks developed similar methods independently. Jerry (the Americanized form of his name, and they spelling he uses) has been the unrecognized source of an awful lot of woodturning advances we now take for granted. Of course, a lot of what Jerry brought to woodturning was already established knowledge in the metal working world.

Jerry sorry for the wrong spelling
not sure who the other respondent is but I did sell the Uni. Jig for some time in NZ and it is quite good but proved to be to expensive and not versatile enough for our requirements. Ken "Lyn J.

You don't need to know who I am BUT I know who you are and how you stole
Gorgie's design, while pretending to be a friend, that alone shows just the ethics you have. The Unijig may be a bit more expensive but it is also far more robust than the one you make.
