Here is a link to a cheap chisel and plane sharpening jig, at the price listed including postage it's not even worth your time and effort to even make a jig to sharpen the chisels and plane blades.

Or if you like a different one, just eBay search "Chisel sharpening jigs" and heaps more will appear.

For a sharpening plate, you can either buy a duel sided whetstone (about $25) or else find a piece of glass (6-8mm+ for the stiffness from a window glazier, they will usually have broken windows or offcuts) and dilute down some PVA glue, then stick various grit sizes of wet and dry paper to it. Weigh them down with another piece of glass till the sheets dry.
