Project Information
I decided I needed a better way to sharpen plane irons and chisels. It also had to sharpen all the knives and tools from the saddle shop. I decided to give the Work Sharp a go. When it got here from Rockler, I immediately knew it had to have a better support than sitting on the bench. I sharpened enough with it to decide I wanted to keep it and then designed this station to support it and all it's do-dads and thing-a-majigs. I like to clamp things like this in a bench vise. There is an outlet near and the light is excellent.Of course when I took these photos I was at the new brench and I don't have a light there yet. To make the clamp board on the bottom, I just glued and screwed a piece of 1X? to it so it would go into the vise. The station is made of plywood, what ever was handy. I did put a place for a can of water in the corner because I like to be careful with my irons. There is enough spaces to keep all the glass plates at the ready and the box will keep any hot iron corraled. It also is handy for my sandpaper cleaner. When not in use it is on a shelf on the wall.
