That's much better than the Apex clones made from recycled plastic trash. I enjoyed seeing you use all the homemade tools to produce this sharpener as much as the project itself, and you get extra kudos for not putting on a space suit just to rub some linseed oil on the finished parts.

I am sure that tomato can't tell an 8 degree angle from a 9 degree angle.
Thanks for sharing!

If you're not reprofiling an edge, the best way to set the angle is to draw on the bevel with a sharpie, then find the correct angle using light test strokes that grind fully across the edge bevel by observing the ink taken off.
That's a great tomato joke. You made me laugh.Quote:

But using the application turned out to be easier, with higher measurement accuracy.
This is a good tip - I use a felt-tip pen when sharpening a chisel and a scissor (I prefer to sharpen knives on the protractor)Quote:
