Marmotjr Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I've been free hand sharpening my tools for the past 6 months or so, and it's just killing them. I got a decent grinder, cheap, but it's got acceptable stones, ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015U2STNM ). But getting a commercial jig was just out of the budget. Granted, it should have been one of the first things I bought/built, but I'm not normal. So after much research, I have built my own system. I used my 3d printer to do a lot of the parts, but it could just as easily been done out of wood. I posted the verigrind adaptation on thingiverse: On the thingiverse page, there's the plans and video I based my design on, if you're interested in making one yourself out of wood. If anybody is interested, I've included the plans for the base itself. There's probably better designs, but it works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 If you actually include the information here, it may get seen. most people don't click onto click bait going to another forum to drive traffic. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmotjr Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Well, I'll add the video link, but it's not a forum. (I understand my post count my indicate troll!) It's kinda like instagram for 3d printers, but unless you are interested in the .stl files for printing your own, there's not much else there that I haven't posted here. Here's the video, which includes a dropbox link to the plans: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Ha! I was about to berate you for ripping off Marius Hornberger's design. Then I watched the video, and realized this is actually Marius' video....so I hope you are Marius! I've been a subscriber for some time, and really enjoy the material.

His jig is based on Marius jig, but CNC'ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmotjr Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 No, I;m not marius, but yes, I did base my design on his, and I do give him full credit for the design on the release page on thingiverse. And I see that I completely failed to mention this was not my original idea in the OP. whoops. By why would you berate somebody for sharing a design that was already free to share? And one that he himself ripped off the IP holder? (I'm assuming there's an Ip associated with this design). And to be a nit, it's not CNC, it's 3d printed. CNC is reductive manufacturing, 3d printing is additive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Chill dude. Based on does not equate ripped off. Craftsmen are good with detail. Not all detail clarification is an attack. Not all of us are perfect with words while distracted by an election. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Don't get me wrong, I would only berate if you claimed the design was yours originally, and couldn't prove it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
