>Very nicely put together Ian. Clean, simply and straighforward. I really a huge fan of "simplicity" as I find it in most cases to be not only functional, but quite elegant unto itself. Why have a bunch of unnecessary doo-dads to add a bit of flash and glam when simple and straightforward will just as well if not better?

Very nice sharpening station Ian, very nice indeed.

How did you deal with different thicknesses of stones, or even non parallel stones?

>Bugbear,

I was using three relativly new stones all of equal thickness so dealing with stones of different thicknesses wasn't much of an issue. When it was I'd have to adjust the blade in the holder. I find that it is so much easier to simply freehand which I do now. This jig did however teach me more about what I was shooting for tho, so it served it's purpose.
