Why spend $100 on this jig? Print one yourself! If you have to ask what this is, then it probably isn't for you. But I'll be nice, it's a jig to put a fingernail grind on a bowl gouge. Please, those who do know, do not laugh at my horrible gouge, that's what 6 months of free hand sharpening a gouge will do to it. Hence, why I made this thing.

I'd have a pic of it in use, but I'm still building the rest of the sharpening jig.

Based upon Marius Hornberger's video on his (wooden) shop built jig (https://youtu.be/sfmIv0iXjis). I made some minor changes, based on the medium used, but the parts are directly copied from his plans. I'm using a washer held in place by a nut, in the "wrong" order, to hold the gouge in place. Works fine for my 3/8"(?) gouge, but a larger gouge may require something like a threaded washer, as the nut takes up too much space.


Print the arm with solid infill. I printed mine at 25%, and it's a bit flimsy. Usable, but I'd rather have a more solid
