DIY Sharpening Jig for Chisels & Plane Blades
DIY Sharpening Jig for Chisels & Plane Blades
Using the Sharpening Jig: https://youtu.be/XtM9aA3Q6oo
In this tutorial I show you how to make a sharpening jig that’s great for sharpening chisels or a wood plane blade.
Keeping woodworking tools sharp, like plane blades and chisels makes woodworking easier and gives better results. Making your own DIY sharpening jig is not hard or complicated and with a few tools like a table saw or sliding mitre saw, a electric drill or drill press and a few bits of supplies, you can build this sharpening jig yourself.

This an extremely handy jig. Affordable to make because here in South Africa the brand names are very pricy! Thanks, Collin!
спасибо.
Sweet!
Muy buena idea, práctico y económico; Gracias por su explicación, saludos desde Santa Cruz de Tenerife
И как этим пользоваться? Где колесики или подшипники?
I have a horrible time cutting ready rod. Please can you help me with some tips to get it right first time?
GREAT IDEA SIR
Love the video Colin; and your channel in general. It occurred to me that you don’t need to make such a ‘hard-wired’ measuring jig for guides built on this lovely simply principle. Also you don’t need to make the little angle wedge. Please bear with me!
Simply take your (unnotched) base plate and lay it horizontal. At its end, fix a little vertical ‘wall’ at 90 degrees to the plate (making an L on its side). Push the blade-and-roller assembly firmly against this backstop and rotate the blade until its edge touches the base plate. Looking side-on, you now have a circle circumscribed by a right-angled triangle whose sides are the base, the wall and the blade.
Using simple geometry you can get a really simple formula linking the angle of the bevel, the diameter of the roller and the distance from the wall that the blade hits the base plate. I’ve just done it and it works a treat 🙂 For your dowel of 1.25", the formula shows that a wall-to-bevel distance of 87.48mm gives exactly 25 degrees; 75.12mm would give 30 degrees, etc. Little stops could be put on the base plate for oft-repeated angles. Hope this helps.
Good
You description is a little too simple, almost like kindergarten teaching. I am certain some need this level, but it does not interest me. I flip through to the end, and I get your idea. I like you, and hope you might change a bit. Thank you for your work. Regards.
Am I wrong in thinking that the oil stone will wear away the radius of the dowel, with use, and thus alter the blade angle?
Nice work
I don’t understand, how does the V-notch used for aligning the blade not subtly change the angle of the blade by lowering one end in the jig?
Or is it a negligible change in degree?
I own an ancient (early 1950’s) planer/joiner. I want to sharpen the three blades myself, using a jig styled after yours. Since I know little about what angle to use, would a 23 degree work ?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it appears when the dowel is in the "V" slot, and you tighten the wingnuts… then when you position the jig on a sharpening surface… now the angle is different…no?
Very Cool !!!! Thanks for the tip Sir
Sometimes, or should I say most times, simple is better. This is one of those times. I’ve tried several other more complicated sharpening jigs. Aside from a "Worksharp" this is without a doubt the best jig out there. Simple to make, simple to use, and always end up with a super sharp and true blades. Thanks
Endlich ein brauchbares Hilfsmittel um Geräte zu schärfen. Besten Dank für die Erklärung. Lorenzo
Это что было?
Either I didn’t pay attention or someone already posted this!? When applying the Thread Locker Blue- Loctite. Clean the SS all thread with alcohol before you apply it. It will cure quicker! Ya I didn’t use permanent! Maybe thats why!?
Embora seja muito simples, parece extremamente funcional! Obrigado por compartilhar coisas boas!
Very nice…

I guess this is a place to start but with every stroke you are changing the angle of the blade. better to use a set of wheels to ride on instead of a wood dowel.
YeHoVaH Bless….
That’s a clever design. Concerned about friction wearing out the dowel bottom. A Teflon rod may be a better material.
This is by far the simplest and most efficient jig I found working perfect.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing the free content. I should have tried this first before buying a sharpening jig plan which was a complicated design and did not work for me. This is a very simple design and I like how it ensures the blade is square with the side fence during setup.
The 25 degree angle will change to 26 27 or 28 degree when the dowel is
raised on a flat plate. Or am I missing something and being dumb?
Nice jig!. Thanks a lot.
bravo bella idea
Studied your video and hit the workshop. Works like a charm!! Thank you.
I like your videos they are so easy to understand.
Esta genial la idea, económico y fácil de realizar
👍👍👍 menuiseire morooco
Большое вам человеческое спасибо.
clever solution to an always not neatly solved problem!!!
my advice: anaerobic thread locks (as the one you used) do better if you make them cure tightened

Excellent video Colin. Looking forward to trying mine out this morning. Thank you from Bonnie Scotland 🏴
นี้และยูทูบที่ผมเคยดู
Грубейшее нарушение ТБ,прижал заготовку струбциной со стальным штоком.Только дерево или пластик.
I’m glad someone did one without needing bearings because I really just wanted to make something with what I had on hand in the shop
great jig and just as a FYI or heads up – cutting dowell can be easiest done on the band saw by using a vee shaped piece of wood with the dowell placed on the vee with the required amount protruding from the end of the wood. it can be made so the piece of wood is slotted in the mitre slot on the band saw
Бэккэ толкуйдаабыт эбиккин👍, мин эрэй бөҕө көрөр этим, үтүктэн оҥостуон буоллаҕа.Махтал буоллун ытык кырдьаҕас✊
How long do you expect the 1 1/4 inch dowel to last after it’s rubbed many times over abrasive paper ? Won/t the angle of the bevel on the plane iron change as the dowel wears ??
Dobre ok
Молодец товарищ, хорошая штуковина
question – wont the wood simply get sanded down with each pass and create a shallower angle every time?
The wood will wear down on the store and throw your angle off
Ya ya ya… no drill press… always gotta have some special tool to do this diy stuff….
