Captain, you are an incredible guy! Thank's for your unselfishness in sharing this jig.

"Necessity is the Mother of invention". Great video Cap'n. Greetings from Australia.

I wonder how many folk have been helped by your good humor and tips. Thank you.

You sir are my hero! Every other video I’ve seen says we need to buy a £200 kit (including P&P to the U.K.). I’ve bought a lathe as an addition to my shop to enable me to do more within my usual woodworking, I have no intention of making it the primary purpose of my 'shop. Yours is the first sharpening video I’ve seen that’s truly inclusive.

I was going to figure out how to make one of these- I have an unfortunate allergy to spending money on crap I can easily make. You saved me the time and trouble of figuring it out, gave me the proper dimensions, and did it all with grace and humor! Thank you from my heart, Cap'n Eddie!

Hey Captain you are a classic, I am a 50 odd year wood worker who is starting to take up wood turning..Have bought a lathe and have been watching all your videos. hey Buddy many thanx for all your info, .. you are a god send. Keep up the best wood turning videos i have ever seen..

Bought me a slow speed grinder at wood crafters for Christmas. Made the jig and started sharpening. I fell in love with turning all over again. Thanks Captain

People like you should live a long time. Thanks for the videos.

I ran across this gentleman video a little while back, maybe about a month ago, and up until this point I was chasing perfection through methods that did not work for me. I learned from him that I don't need perfect I just need to get the project done. by applying what I learned I have now been able to sharpen most of my plane collection to almost razor sharp and consistent. also without jigs. Watch his videos you are going to learn something weather you know it or not. 👍👍. One more thing... share. ☺️

Thanks Eddie; as a long time woodworker and new wood turner i like making jigs and saving money. Thanks for the info.

Thank you Capt. Great idea. I plan to make one. Love your on screen style. You were made for the camera. I'm a new turner so all these videos are a great help to me. Thanks again.

Awesome jig, thanks for sharing!

Hi captain thanks for the jig I made one and I could not believe how sharp it made my bowl gouge that is awesome shavings flying everywhere

I'd been pretty dissatisfied with my grinds so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I ended up turning a tube out of some scrap maple, but I you inspired me to make one. It took a little while on the regrind, but I am absolutely thrilled with the new grind! Thanks!

Just what I was looking for. I'm going to use metal pipe and an old metal compass and tack weld it. Same concept but using what I got in my shop lol. Thanks for the quick easy tutorial.

You crack me up.... that's a good little fixture you've built. Gonna make one now.

I’m really glad your feeling better Eddie you scared me it’s kind of weird you watch enough of these videos and you really feel like you know people keep making the videos buddy we love em

Long Live Cap'n Eddie!, I have a mig welder, and after watching this i spent 4 full days in the garage and made a total clone of this and the wolverine system, then i made a kick ass Wheel Dressing Jig, all powder coated!

Capt. , thanks for the video your very ingenious and articulate. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Sir

You are a real blessing to all woodworkers. God Bless and thanks a bunch. Will in ABQ

Thanks for sharing Capneddie, I appreciate the video.

Captain Eddie. I just made my Ellsworth gouge sharpening jig. Thank you for the idea.

THANKS CAP FOR ALL THE GREAT INFO. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS.

Thanks, Build one about a year ago out of metal worked fine. Some how it is lost in the garage making another one. Thanks for a great idea.

Thanks Capt Eddie ! You the MAN !!

I really like this guy's videos, and i'm not even a wood turner.

Thanks Eddie for the tip on the Chuck. I am piling up Wild Cherry Coffee Mug Shavings by the barrel ful. Hickory Hammers by The Dozens. Thanks Buddy. Hope you are doing well.

Thanks mate. All the best from Australia 👍🇦🇺

Hey Cap'n Eddie!! Just found you on KZfaq. Love your style! No wonder, yer from 'Nawlins. Me too, I grew up in Harahan! I'm living in Denver now but sure miss home sometime, especially when I hear your accent! I am just learning how to turn wood. I turned a Stanley #5 Plane knob out of Rosewood. My first project and it came out real nice. I refurbished the plane for my son, who was born in Opelousas close to Lafayette. Anyway, I like your channel! I'll come back some more. Thank you very much! Great videos!!! Dave Henderson

Two years before you put out this video I bought a full wolverine setup, and tommorow I planned on finally installing it. And now I want to make this... I'm hopeless I suppose, oh well, might as well roll with it.

Very nice video bud. Fun to watch. Thanks for the great tip. Stay safe and Happy Easter. God Bless.

You're a good man Eddie!

Nice work Eddie !

Thanks for the great cheap advice and how to make these out of things I got laying around):

What an excellent and helpful guy... Great video!

Well I made one and it works great. Of course I still need more practice but thank you. Oh yeah I made mine using a metal pipe nipple and yep I broke the bolt off at the treads. Didn't wait for it to get it hot enough to bend. Bummer. All's well that ends well. I have one now. Thanks Capt. Tom

Love ya ta bits man no waffle no mess just straight at it bish bash bosh job done.totally refreshing after some of the long winded videos ya get.thanks mate. Tell from the UK

Great video. I made one and it works great! Eddie, you are the man!

Was looking for a DIY sharpening jig. As soon as I saw your name attached to this vid I looked no further. Thanks.

Great video thanks for sharing. Carl

LOL! Come here wood ... Love it. Thx for sharing your wonderful sense of humor :)

Great video Captain!!! Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the tip Bruce

he sells them, and he's gonna show you how to make them, now that's a good person.

I can hear the big corporates teeth grinding - *Eddie* makes jigs so cheap, it accelerates the industry's downfall. But Captain: you're sure one heck of a badass. Your vids - always a pleasure.

Great vid! My dog sat bolt upright when you whistled at the end!

from a new woodturner...Thank you!

He's a gem!

You're a good guy. Thanks!

always been interested and i have done a bit. Wish i had my own machine :) Thanks for the video's . Its really interesting.

Good job Capt.

thanks eddie great tip

Thank you Eddie

Thanks for your tips. Connemara west of Ireland

....YOU are sooo a nice Captain !!! soooo funi !!! Thank YOU very much !! Kinde regards from Switzerland !!!

Great vid, thanks.

What is the angle of the long bolt? Thanks

many thanks.Eddie.

Even if you havent got a clue as to what he is refering to, it doesnt matter, he is interesting and quite amusing.

Man you're the best. Thank you.

Hey Captain, I am a new turner and absolutely love watching your videos. I do have a question for you on this video. Do you have any diagrams for the basket portion of this jig. I have tried o build my own but it's just not right yet. So any advice would be very helpful. Thank you so much for doing what you do! Bob

Thanks Capt. Gonna get a new one tomorrow. I think the one I have on there now is a 2 LOL. Not really but it's pretty corse. Thanks again. Tom

So nice and safe place for the monitor!

Good idea, much better than just "eyeballing it" and way cheaper than those fancy ones for sale for big $$$.

Thanks for the TIP !

thanks eddie

I like your style

Very Cool Capt Eddie:)

Thanks Cap'n Ed! I've been looking for a cheap way to make a jig for sometime.. I've never ever considering spending £25 ($39.70) on one of those fancy ones at the tool shop. Waste of money! Best of all, if your one breaks, simply make another! Thumbs Up :)

Just gotta make and try out that jig system ................Thanx Cap'n

Great tutorial thank you

Thank you!!

Thanks for the great information.

I like an 80 or 100 grit to do daily sharpens.

Ever consider using a conduit coupling? Has 2 tapped holes in the top

Thanks for sharing Great video

nice one Eddie

Thanks again Cap'n

Thanks so much great video.

You're the man Regards Steve UK London

Great video....Thanks!

What a F**ken legend !!! Thanks, Cap, really enjoyed this video!!!🔥🔥

Captain, great video; it would be great to have some instructions on how to make the "basket " cheers

thanks sir - useful tips about sharpening jigs - I'll try to do the same - congratulation from Brazil

Just need to know if there is a particular angle on the rod?

hey eddie, i love your videos, thanks for what you do! i just built this jig, but my holes on the top and bottom of the pvc aren't perfectly in line with each other. 1. how important is it that this be perfect? 2. how important is it that the 4in by 7in (it says 6" in your diagram by the way, which is right?) be spot on? I'm new to turning and finding youtube to be such a great resource, thanks!

What a legend!

Nice job

Dawg! Keep that woman, give her another catalog.

What a smashing guy. true pro.

Thanks for the video and the diagram.

thanks for the video

how do you make the basket?

Hello fellow KZfaq hobby nuts, Apparently this lovable old man had a stroke sometime back with plans on returning to the workshop, I don't think he was able to do so, I dont have all that much time myself, god bless him. I wanted to help people out if building this jig, I was a GM mechanic for 30 years and just made this style set up out of steel. I started by making the the base sliding arm under the grinding wheel, and then made the jig shown here, (the "base arm" spec's to hold this jig are) He states 4 inches lower than the center of the wheel......OK He states 7 inches out front from the face of the grinding wheel.....OK He states 2 inches of chisel extending out of tool...............OK You made the tool "exactly as described" in the online plan Print out....OK After all that your finished grind angle is still off.......WHY ......................."How big is your grinding wheel? I dont mean is it a 6" or 8" inch, I mean as any wheel is used it's exact size is always changing, you need a simple angle (protractor) tool, Make a grind, Read it and adjust your jig, without reading your cut you're just guessing, Hope this helps someone.

Capneddie, you remind me of actor WILFORD BRIMLEY (From the movie Cocoon)! Cheers!
