Hi DBN and Rick
YES! The tool for sharpening blades for wood, I was thinking this way
to clamp dovetails or gibs to re-shape the deformed surfaces...yet to
think of a better design to clamp the gibs. But this approach is on
the right path, needs more thinking though...the jig to make, able to
swivel at any angles sideways while the back support screw to adjust
the front/back angle...so all taken care of?
